    Moma-Yang Hyo-jin-Wipawi ‘trio’ combine for 53 points…Hyundai E&C ‘wins 9th straight’

    Leaders Hyundai E&C beat second-place Heungkuk Saengsim for the first time this season in the women’s professional volleyball league. Now they aim for a 10th straight win.

    Hyundai E&C won the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League away match against Heungkuk Sinsaeng 3-1 (23-25 25-23 25-16 25-20) at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on Tuesday. It was the team’s ninth straight victory without a loss in over a month, dating back to the match against IBK on March 16. Hyundai E&C became the first team to reach the 40-point mark (13-4) with its first win over Heungkuk Sinsaeng 온라인카지노 in just its third meeting this season. The “trio” of Leticia Moma Basoko (24 points), Yang Hyo-jin (15 points), and Wipawi Sithong (14 points) combined for 53 points to lead the team in scoring.

    Hyundai E&C was outplayed in most offensive metrics, including attack percentage and blocking, by Heungkuk Life, who committed nine errors in the first set. They fought back to pull within one point at 18-24, but there was no comeback. The second set belonged to Hyundai E&C. HMC set the tone early in the set with a 6-0 run, led by kills from Yang Hyo-jin, Moma, and Wipawi. After maintaining a steady dominance, HMC pulled to within one point at 24-21 after back-to-back points from opposing ace Kim Yeon-kyung, but a quick open attack from Moma closed out the second set.

    Hyundai E&C took the third set by a wide margin. After pulling away from their opponents from the midway point of the set, HMC got kills from Moma and Wipawi, as well as Lee Da-hyun and Kim Joo-hyang. After clinching the third set at 24-16 on a service point by Hanmiar, HMC continued its momentum in the fourth set. Taking the lead at 17-17 on a back-attack by Momar and a block by Yang Hyo-jin, HMC reached match point at 23-20 on a service ace by Hanimir, and ended the match with an open attack by Lee Da-hyun. Yang Hyo-jin scored two points with her block in the fourth set, which definitely lifted the team’s spirits in a match that could have gone either way.

    For Heungkuk Life, Yelena Mrazenovic scored 27 points and Kim Yeon-kyung scored 22 points, but it was not enough to prevent the team from losing. Heungkuk Life committed 29 unforced errors, more than twice as many as Hyundai E&C (13). Heungkuk Life, which could have regained the lead with a win, remains in second place with 36 points (13-4).

    Women’s Basketball Woori Bank defeats BNK to take sole lead…1 point behind KB

    Asan Woori Bank takes sole possession of first place in the women’s professional basketball league with a win over Busan BNK.

    Woori Bank defeated BNK 76-72 on Tuesday in the home leg of the Woori WON 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball League regular season at Yi Sunshin Gymnasium in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do.

    Riding a six-game winning streak, 스포츠토토 Woori Bank remained in sole possession of first place (12-1) with a one-game lead over second-place Cheongju KB (11-2).

    With title rival KB suffering a blowout loss to Samsung Life in Yongin two days ago, Woori seized the opportunity to consolidate its lead.

    Woori Bank will host Samsung Life away on Dec. 22 before hosting KB for the third time this season on Christmas Day.

    BNK, which played a back-and-forth game with the leaders but was unable to accumulate a win, remained in fifth place (4-10).

    Woori Bank seemed to be taking it easy in the second quarter, taking an eight-point lead at one point, but a mid-range basket by Jin An and an outside shot by Ahn Hye-ji in the final minute of the quarter left them trailing by three points, 41-38, at halftime.

    A fierce seesaw game ensued, with BNK taking a 51-50 lead midway through the third quarter on a Jinan free throw.

    The game was decided in the final minutes.

    With 9.9 seconds left, Goara’s three-pointer cleanly split the rim to give Woori Bank a four-point lead, 76-72.

    On BNK’s final offensive possession, Jinan’s three missed the rim and Goara grabbed the defensive rebound to seal the win for Woori Bank.

    Choi Yi-sam led the way for Woori Bank with 24 points, including five three-pointers.

    Choi set a new career-high for points in a single game and reached 200 career three-pointers.

    Lee Myung-kwan, who had 18 points and eight rebounds, and Goa, who hit the game-winning three-pointer, also shined.

    Jin-an’s 24 points and 11 rebounds highlighted BNK’s loss.

    21Dec, 2023
    Woori Bank Director Satoshi Woo “Lee Myung-kwan is a lucky man!”

    “Lee Myung-kwan is truly a godsend!”

    Woori Bank head coach Lee Sat-woo is not one to lavish praise. The exception this season is Lee Myung-kwan.

    On the 20th, they defeated BNK 카지노사이트 in a hard-fought game.

    After the game, Satellite said, “Kim Dan-bi and Park Ji-hyun were not good. Lee Myung-kwan and Choi Yi-sam made up for it. I think this is the part that shows that we are a strong team. In the penalty shootout, Go Ara had a lucky shot, but it went in.” He added, “We didn’t play well, but we’re still winning. We have to hold on until Park Hye-jin comes in, but I think she’s doing a good job. Lee Myung-kwan, Noh Hyun-ji, and others are doing a good job by doing dirty work and defending hard.” “There are three games left until the All-Star break. We have Samsung Life, KB, and BNK left, and they’re all tough. We’ll try to keep our players together and get through them well.”

    Lee Myung-kwan is definitely making an impact. “During the game, we had some holes in our defense and I even said something to Lee Myung-kwan. However, there are some things that work well for the team. He seems to be a good fit for our team. As his stamina increases, he can play for about 30 minutes. His defense is better than I thought. His team defense is not as good as it should be, but it’s something that came out when he joined the team, and he’s good at defending with power. That’s what I appreciate about Lee Myung-kwan.”

    He added, “We are lucky to have Lee Myung-kwan on board. He instinctively fills in the gaps in the team.”

    “We have to win for the fans”

    “I’m happy to be No. 1 again, but…”

    For the third year in a row, Heo Woong (30-Busan KCC), the top vote-getter for the Korean Professional Basketball League’s All-Star team, is more sorry than grateful for the attention. After starting the season ambitiously with the goal of winning the championship, KCC’s performance is far from satisfactory.

    “I’m happy that I finished first and second in the All-Star fan vote alongside my brother Heo Hoon (28-Suwon KT), but I’m disappointed with the team’s performance,” Heo told the 텍사스홀덤 World Journal, adding, “Busan fans are very passionate about us, but we’re not meeting their expectations.”

    KCC has been a big fish in the free agency market in the last two seasons. They signed Heo Woong and Lee Seung-hyun, both 31, ahead of the 2022-2023 season, and added Choi Jun-yong, 29, the biggest free agent signing this season. In addition, Song Kyo-chang (27) returned from military service in November. The team has been described as a “super team” and KCC was a strong pre-season favorite. “We had great players in each position, so it was very reassuring,” Heo said. “I felt some pressure before the season thinking that I could play with these players, but I had higher expectations.”

    It was not an easy start for KCC. After the first round, KCC finished in eighth place with two wins and five losses. In the second round, the team went 4-4, which was better than before, but still far short of what was expected of them. “Before the season, I was so excited to be on a team like this with players like these, but it was really frustrating to not get results,” Heo said.

    But as time went on, the players found their rhythm and KCC started to show a different side in the third round. KCC is on a four-game winning streak, including defeating Wonju DB, who had established a dominant system in the third round. With a winning percentage above 5 percent (10-9), fifth-ranked KCC is now looking over the top. “I think there are ups and downs, but the team atmosphere is very good right now,” Heo said, emphasizing that “coach Jeon Chang-jin believes in us, so we are communicating comfortably, and we believe in him and follow him.”

    He is averaging 13.4 points this season, playing 31:16 minutes per game. It’s the first time he’s been on the court for more than 31 minutes since the 2015-2016 season. Heung says he’s not feeling the physical strain. “I’ve moved to Busan, but my accommodation is still in Yongin,” he said, adding, “It was hard at first to travel long distances, but I’m getting used to it.”

    Looking ahead to the All-Star Game on March 14, Heo has one wish. He wants his younger brother to be healthy. The younger brother, who had been battling for the No. 1 spot, suffered a broken nose in a game against the Seoul Samsung at the KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on April 12. Facing four weeks of rehabilitation, Heo’s participation in the All-Star Game is still in doubt. “My brother had just returned to the team after his military service,” Heo said, adding that he was “very heartbroken and upset” about the injury.

    In the end, Heung vowed to achieve his goal. “I’m playing basketball happily with my teammates, and there’s still time left,” Heo said, emphasizing that he wants to win the championship. “Busan has a bigger gym than Jeonju, so more fans come and support us,” he said, adding, “We will definitely repay them with our performance.”

    GSW was right… Kumminga’s Potential Begins to Explode

    Kumminga is becoming a mainstay for Golden State.

    The Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics 132-126 on Tuesday night (Feb. 20) at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, in the 2023-2024 NBA regular season. The win extended Golden State’s winning streak to three games.

    It was a hard-fought game. After trading points throughout the game, the two teams were unable to tie the game in regulation, sending it into overtime. Steph Curry was the star of the show in overtime. Curry went on a scoring tear in overtime to give Golden State 안전카지노사이트 the lead, and with 10 seconds left in regulation and a one-point lead at 127-126, his shot clock buzzer-beating three-pointer hit the rim for a 130-126 victory.

    While Curry gets the lion’s share of the credit for the victory, there’s an unsung hero. Jonathan Cuminga. Kuminga had 17 points, seven rebounds, and two steals against Boston. While he scored well, it was his defense that really stood out in this game. He guarded Boston’s ace Jayson Tatum all game long. His defense put Tatum in a terrible slump, holding him to 15 points and 8 rebounds on 5-of-17 shooting.

    Tatum wasn’t playing well, but Kuminga’s defense was too good. Cumminga used his physicality to relentlessly pressure Tatum, forcing him to take tough shots. He also disrupted Tatum’s ball handling with his constant trimming. Even in clutch time, it was Cumminga who defended Tatum. He was the one who forced overtime with a perfect defense on Tatum’s final shot just before the end of the fourth quarter.

    In his postgame interview, Curry had nothing but praise for Curry. “I was able to make plays because of good defense from my teammates, including him,” Curry said.

    After being selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Kuminga hadn’t found a home in Golden State. The Warriors were a powerhouse, and they were looking to win a championship. Kuminga, on the other hand, was viewed from the time he was drafted as a raw talent that would take time to develop. He had good size, but lacked skill and BQ.

    There was no time to wait for him. Rather than develop him, the Warriors played him in wins and losses, in overtime, and didn’t give him time to showcase his quickness and penetration. Furthermore, Steve Kerr is a conservative coach when it comes to playing young players. There was no way Kerr was going to give the immature Kuminga any playing time or a significant role.

    This season is different. Andrew Wiggins, a key resource for Golden State in the past, is having a terrible season. Add to that Draymond Green’s suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct, and that means Kuminga is the only forward Golden State has available. Kuminga has done a good job of pushing for playing time.

    The best part is the defense. His defense this season has been incredible. Previously, Golden State‘s best perimeter defender was Wiggins. But he’s replaced him perfectly. It’s no coincidence that he defended Tatum in the game against Boston. His defense has been consistent throughout the season.

    He’s starting to earn Kerr’s trust on the defensive end, and he’s gaining confidence on the offensive end. He’s finally utilizing his best attribute: his physicality. Including tonight’s game against Boston, Kuminga has scored in double figures in his last seven games. He’s averaging 12.2 points per game this season. At this rate, expect that number to rise.

    Kuminga has been mentioned in trade rumors ever since he was drafted by Golden State. He’s a raw talent that takes time to develop, so he wasn’t a good fit for the Warriors, who were looking to win a championship right away. But Golden State’s brass stuck with him, and it’s finally paying off.

    Cho Young-wook, Who Played 85 Games for each Age Group

    [Asian Games] Cho Young-wook, who played 85 games for each age group, achieved his own ‘early discharge’

    Leading the way to a third consecutive gold medal with a ‘come-from-behind final shot’ in the Korea-Japan match… Representative 10-year finale by age group.

    Cho Young-wook

    Cho Young-wook (24), who played in over 80 games for 10 years as a representative of his age group,

    honorably reported ‘early discharge’ by leading the Korean men’s soccer team to victory at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games,

    which will be the last competition as a representative of his age group.

    As Cho Young-wook scored the team’s second goal in the 11th minute of the second half in the men’s soccer final against Japan at the Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Huanglong Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou, China on the 7th,

    leading the team to a 2-1 victory. 카지노사이트원

    It was a dramatic comeback when Korea conceded the first goal two minutes into the game and then maintained the balance with Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart)’s equalizing goal in the 27th minute of the first half.

    The game ended 2-1, and this goal sealed Korea’s third consecutive men’s soccer championship.

    It is a goal that has many meanings for Cho Young-wook.

    According to the information available through the national team participation record on the Korea Football Association website,

    Cho Young-wook has 10 years of experience representing each age group,

    starting with the U-14 national team at the Nanjing Asian Youth Games in August 2013 and ending with this Asian Games.

    After playing for the U-20 and U-23 national teams,

    today’s final against Japan was his 85th match as a representative of his age group.

    Asian Games

    As the Asian Games were postponed for a year,

    even players under the age of 24 were allowed to participate,

    so he had the last opportunity to compete as a representative of his age group.

    He maintained his position as Hwang Seon-hong-ho’s starting striker,

    exceeding the goal of ‘3 goals’ set before the competition, and won the gold medal.

    The beauty of death was achieved.

    He filled in early with multiple goals in the group stage game against Kuwait and one goal in the round of 16 against Kyrgyzstan,

    played the role of a problem solver by scoring one more shot when the team needed it most.

    Cho Young-wook, who has been playing for K League 1 FC Seoul since 2018 and has been considered a ‘next generation franchise star’,

    is a ‘corporal’ who enlisted in K League 2 Gimcheon Sangmu this year to serve in the military.

    However, he will be discharged early due to military service benefits from winning a gold medal.

    I was able to enjoy a boatload of joy.

    He scored 13 goals in K-League 2 this season, ranking second in league scoring after Lewis (Gimpo, 16 goals),

    was inevitably(?) leaving the competition for the top scorer.

    Attention is focused on whether he, who was selected to the adult national team last year and played in 4 A matches,

    will now be seen more often in the A national team rather than as a representative of his age group.

    Dong-ju Moon, Dreamed of the Asian Games Stage

    [Asian Games] Dong-ju Moon, “I dreamed of the AG stage while watching my father when I was young… I’m happy that my dream has come true”

    Moon Dong-ju’s father is the hammer thrower Moon Jun-heum’s coach…

    Roaring on the AG stage following my father.

    Moon Dong-ju

    ‘Ace’ Moon Dong-ju (19, Hanwha Eagles), who led the Korean national baseball team to victory,

    smiled brightly, saying he was very happy to win the Asian Games gold medal,

    which he had dreamed of since he was a child.

    He said, “When I was young, my father visited the Asian Games as a coach, and from then on,

    I always said that I wanted to win a gold medal in the Asian Games.

    I am very happy to make that dream come true.” 먹튀검증가이드

    He smiled brightly, saying, “I think I showed a good performance in front of my family, fans, and baseball fans, especially Hanwha fans.”

    Moon Dong-ju’s father is Moon Jun-heum, a former national hammer thrower and coach of the Jangheung County Office track and field team.

    Coach Moon served as the national team leader from 2010 to 2018 and participated in the 2010 Guangzhou Games and the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games.

    Asian Games

    Moon Dong-ju added to his significance by following his father’s footsteps in participating in the Asian Games and winning a gold medal for Korea.

    Moon Dong-ju’s pitching that day was perfect.

    In the 1st inning, with 1 out and 3rd base on base, he had to throw out the opposing team’s 3rd batter,

    Lin Lee, and 4th batter, Lin Anger, to get a ground ball and a strikeout.

    In the 6th inning, when he was ahead 2-0, with 1 out and 2nd base,

    he had to get Lin Lee and Anger out again with a ground ball and a strikeout.

    He escaped a major crisis by striking out.

    After catching Liang Ge, he roared, attracting attention.

    He added, “I roared without realizing it.

    I’m not really that type of person, but I was that much more desperate.”

    Moon Dong-joo said, “It’s important for me to win,

    but I think we need to create a game that our team can win.”

    Moon Dong-ju was the losing pitcher in the match against Taiwan on the 2nd,

    allowing 3 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, and 2 runs in 4 innings,

    but he took revenge in the final match that day after taking 4 days off to pitch.

    Breaking News, Korean Baseball Wins Gold Medal

    [Breaking News] Korean baseball wins gold medal… 19 people who did not complete military service receive military service benefits

    The Korean national baseball team, led by coach Ryu Joong-il,

    won the gold medal and won its fourth consecutive Asian Games title.

    Korean National Baseball Team

    The Korean national baseball team won the championship by defeating Chinese Taipei 2-0 in the finals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at Stadium 1 of the Baseball and Softball Sports Center in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, China, on the afternoon of the 7th.

    With this, the national team completely avenged the 0-4 defeat suffered by Chinese Taipei in the group stage and won their fourth consecutive Asian Games title,

    following the 2010 Guangzhou, 2014 Incheon, and 2018 Jakarta-Palembang competitions. 카지노사이트킹

    The MVP of the game was Moon Dong-ju, who pitched 6 innings without allowing any runs.

    On this day, Moon Dong-ju allowed a double to lead hitter Zeng Zhongzhe in the bottom of the first inning,

    was in danger of giving up a run with one out and a run on third base due to Lin Zhiwei’s sent bunt in the second.

    However, No. 3 Lin Lee and No. 4 Lin Anker were dealt ground balls and strikeouts to shortstop, respectively.

    Afterwards, the 2nd, 4th, and 5th consecutive three-way failures were eliminated, turning the atmosphere around.

    Moon Dong-ju

    After one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, Moon Dong-ju hit a double that hit the top of the fence in right-center field from Zeng Zong-ju and was in danger of giving up another run,

    but he struck out the subsequent batters in succession.

    After finishing pitching without allowing any runs, he clenched his fists and roared loudly.

    By winning a gold medal, athletes whose military service issues were not resolved can now enjoy military service benefits.

    This national team is made up of players under the age of 25 or who have been professional players for four years or less.

    Out of a total of 24 players, 19 have not served in the military.

    Meanwhile, when receiving military service benefits through the Olympics and Asian Games, the phrase in the Military Service Act Enforcement Decree that states, ‘In the case of team sports events, only applies to athletes who actually competed’ was deleted on June 30, 2020.

    Accordingly, players who did not take the mound in this tournament will enjoy the same military service benefits.

    Asian Games, Women’s Hockey Coach Han Jin-soo

    [Asian Games] Women’s hockey coach Han Jin-soo “It’s a shame we conceded the first goal… The Olympic finals are a must”

    Korean women’s national hockey team coach Han Jin-soo cited “conceding early goals” as the reason for the team’s loss in the finals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and pledged,

    “I will make every effort to advance to the Olympic finals.”

    National Hockey Team

    Korea lost 0-2 to China in the women’s hockey finals held at the Archer Canal Sports Park in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 7th.

    Although a return to normalcy failed for the first time in 9 years since the 2014 Incheon Asian Games,

    the disappointment of no medal (4th place) at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games was somewhat washed away. 카지노사이트탑

    Coach Han Jin-soo said in an interview after the game,

    “The players played well, but because we conceded goals too early in the beginning,

    we had to spend a lot of stamina to make up for it.”

    He added, “Ahead of this Asian Games, there were opportunities such as New Zealand training camp and foreign team invitational competitions,

    but “If we gain more international experience than we have now,

    the competitiveness of Korean women’s hockey will improve,” he said.

    The absence of Baek Yi-seul (Asan City Hall) due to injury was also disappointing.

    Han Jin-soo

    Coach Han said, “Baek I-seul injured his finger bone during the group match against India and has not been able to play since.

    Since then, the players have had to run one step more to fill Baek I-seul’s space,

    which has led to a lot of physical exhaustion.”

    Korea won a dramatic victory in a shootout after drawing 2-2 with Japan in the semifinals two days ago.

    Coach Han expressed regret, saying, “In both the match against India and the semifinals against Japan,

    we were able to score first and play well, but today, the early goals ended up holding us back.”

    But the Asian Games are not the end.

    Coach Han said, “The Asian Champions Trophy will be held in India at the end of this month,

    the final Olympic qualifiers will be held in January 2024.

    Since we were not able to participate in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, I really wanted to win today.”

    China, which won the Hangzhou Asian Games, will receive a gold medal and a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Korean women’s hockey advanced to the Olympic finals eight times in a row,

    from the 1988 Seoul Games to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, but failed to advance to Tokyo in 2021.

    Coach Han Jin-soo pledged, “I will prepare well for the Olympic preliminaries in January next year and do my best to advance to the finals.”

    Korean Women’s Hockey Lost 0-2 in the Final Against China

    [Asian Games] Korean women’s hockey lost 0-2 in the final against China… Won a silver medal

    The Korean women’s hockey won a silver medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

    Korea, led by coach Han Jin-soo, lost 0-2 to the home team China in the women’s hockey final held at the Archer Canal Sports Park in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 7th.

    Women’s Hockey

    A Korea, which won the 2014 Incheon Games by beating China 1-0 in the final,

    attempted to return to the top of the Asian Games for the first time in nine years, but finished with a silver medal.

    At the previous tournament, the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games,

    Korean women’s hockey lost 1-2 to China in the 3rd and 4th place match and did not fall into the medal range. 온라인카지노사이트

    On the other hand, China won the Asian Games gold medal again for the first time in 13 years after winning three consecutive Asian Games from Busan in 2002 to Guangzhou in 2010.

    In addition, China also took the ticket to the finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics,

    which is given to the winning team of this competition.

    Olympics

    Korea still has a chance to qualify for the Paris Olympics through the final qualifying round to be held in January 2024.

    Korea failed to advance to the finals of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

    On this day, Korea was unable to make up for the goal it gave up to China’s Chen Yi in the 7th minute of the first quarter and wasted no time.

    Korea, which maintained a one-goal lead until the middle of the fourth quarter,

    was in a tight fight and was unable to continue its pursuit as Chau Mei-rung conceded an additional goal with about six minutes left in the game.

    However, Korea won a silver medal for women and a bronze medal for men in this hockey competition,

    shaking off the pain of ‘no medals for both men and women’ at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games.

    In 2018, women ranked 4th and men ranked 5th.

    At the Hangzhou Asian Games, hockey became the only sport among Korea’s team ball sports (baseball/softball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, handball, hockey) in which both men and women won medals.

    In the 3rd and 4th place match, India defeated Japan 2-1 and won the bronze medal.
