Pepper Savings Bank, the youngest club in the V-League, is growing slowly but ceaselessly to surpass ‘last year’s me’.
Pepper Savings Bank lost to Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 15th at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon with a set score of 0-3 in the 5th round of the women’s division of the ‘Dodram 2022-2023 V League’. On the 10th, he raised expectations by winning 3-2 in a home game against Hyundai Engineering & Construction, who was the leader at the time, but could not surpass Heungkuk Life Insurance with Kim Yeon-kyung at the fore.
Despite being in last place with 3 wins and 25 losses and 9 points, Pepper Savings Bank is the most burdensome opponent at the end of the regular season. The biggest topic in the ranking competition at the last minute is ‘avoid the pepper storm’. On the 23rd of last month, after beating GS Caltex, which was competing for third place, it dealt a big blow to Hyundai E&C. It is highly likely to act as a big variable in the ranking fight until the end of the regular season.
At the beginning of the season, Pepper Savings Bank’s offense and defense were both top-notch. With 17 consecutive losses in the opening season, former manager Kim Hyung-sil even resigned. However, as the game goes on, the growth trend is clear. This is the effect of filling in the lack of experience by recruiting setter Lee Go-eun and libero Oh Ji-young. In particular, the addition of Oh Ji-young, who joined as a trade during the season, led to stable defense. All other records are last, but Pepper Savings Bank is ranked 4th on Team Dig (20.3 shots per set) and 5th on defense (27.58 shots). 슬롯사이트
As acting head coach Lee Kyung-soo said, “We basically lack experience in receiving and defense, but when we find stability, offense naturally follows.” Opposite Spiker (light) Nia Reed, who scored 19.5 points per game in rounds 1 to 3, is gaining strength with 23.6 points after the 4th round, when Oh Ji-young joined in earnest.
Until the end of the regular season, Pepper Savings Bank has a clear goal. It is to exceed the 11 points (3 wins and 28 losses) of the 2021-2022 season. Acting Lee said, “I wonder if there will be more than one opportunity. All teams will lose their stamina towards the end. I will seize my chance by managing my stamina and managing the injured well. I hope anyone gets caught,” he raised his voice.
