It was a play that erased the variables. Hyundai E&C coach Kang Seong-hyeong saw possibilities in "Kim Sa-rang's second-year setter," who was born in 2004.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction won the set score 3-1 (23-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-20) in the third round of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League against Heungkuk Life held at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 20th and won nine consecutive games.

Prior to the match, there was only a one-point gap between top-ranked Hyundai E&C and second-ranked Heungkuk Life Insurance. Hyundai E&C gained three points on the day, recording 13 wins and four losses overall for the season, and with 40 points, it tied with 13 wins and four losses, but widened the gap with Heungkuk Life Insurance with 36 points. 토토사이트

It was a valuable victory despite unfavorable factors that setter Kim Da-in was absent due to flu. After the match, coach Kang Sung-hyung said, "I thought it would be difficult, but the players were very determined as well in the previous match against Jeonggwanjang. There were difficulties, but Sarang did a good job, and it is meaningful because it was a victory made by several players, not just one or two."

He also gave passing points to Kim Sa-rang, who filled Kim Da-in's vacancy. "He said the hidden card hasn't been released yet, but I think it was love. He did a good job without being nervous," coach Kang Sung-hyung said. "He was confident just by looking at the serve. He strongly targeted the toss. Even if he wasn't deceiving the opponent, he didn't get nervous and I think he did a good job."

Yang Hyo-jin, who sat in the interview room with Kim Sa-rang after the match, also said, "Honestly, I haven't played with her much, so I'm curious what kind of thoughts she had." When asked if she was a person who doesn't usually get nervous, Kim Sa-rang, who reportedly learned about starting the game two days before the match, said, "No, I do a lot," before smiling, "I've been very nervous, but I got less nervous while playing the game."

"I was more nervous because Heungkuk Life is a strong team, has a big gym and has a lot of fans. However, I tried to focus on the game without paying attention. Rather than trying to do well, I thought I should do it comfortably and as I did as my sisters said," he said.

He also allowed Heungkuk Life Insurance to block a lot in the first set, and eventually gave up the set, but he said, "I was intimidated because there was my fault, but I thought I should forget about it quickly and try it again one by one. I felt burdened because I didn't match it a lot, but I think I did it as it was because the sisters and the director trusted and supported me."

Kang has one more setter card. "We have to play three more rounds. I hope we don't get a chance (to have a vacancy), but if Sarang continues to show stable performance, I think we might have a chance given the score and atmosphere of the game," said Kang.
