’26-point explosion’ Im Sung-jin, Kwon Young-min smiles ruefully

“We should have done that a long time ago.”

KEPCO head coach Kwon Young-min smiled broadly. Not only did his team win, but the resurgence of Lim Sung-jin made him smile.

KEPCO defeated Samsung Fire 3-1 (26-24, 25-18, 23-25, 25-18) in straight sets in the sixth round of the Dodram V League 2023-24 Men’s Division on Wednesday at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium.

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for KEPCO, which avoided being swept in the sixth round. With the three points, KEPCO moved up to fifth place with 50 points, dropping Samsung Fire (48 points) to sixth place.

Lim Sung-jin played a big role. Lim exploded for a career-high 26 points to lead KEPCO to victory. She also had three service aces and five blocked shots. Her blocking percentage was also a career-high. Her attack success rate was 58.06%.

It was a performance that washed away the slump. In his first full season, Lim struggled a bit in Round 6. His receiving efficiency was jagged, and his attack efficiency was less than 15%. In the last match against OK Financial Group, her attack efficiency dropped by 4.17%. However, against Samsung Fire, the team showed a 35.48% attack efficiency.

After the match, Kwon Young-min, the head coach of KEPCO, laughed at Lim’s performance, saying, “I wish she had done 먹튀검증 that earlier.” After losing four straight matches and being eliminated from spring volleyball, Lim’s performance was disappointing. “It was her first time playing a full season, and she must have felt a lot. I think she will do well next season,” Kwon encouraged.

“The players’ mood was somewhat sagging after being eliminated from spring volleyball, but I am grateful to the players for giving a good result in front of the fans as it was their last home game,” Kwon said, adding, “We still have the final game of the season against KB Insurance, which is a big disappointment, but we have to finish well. I believe we will do well and we will do our best to win.”
