On the day, KEPCO overwhelmed OK Financial Group 13-1 in blocking.
With Tice scoring 17 points, Seo Jae-deok scored 12 points, including four blocks, while Shin Young-seok grabbed five blocks and harvested eight points. Lim Sung-jin also had 10 points.
Coach Kwon Young-min, who met after the game, said, "It was difficult because the receiving was shaken in the middle of the first set, but Lim Sung-jin turned the tables as he gave away an important score. The first set was a crisis, but luckily, the opponent (main pointer) Leo and the main setter Lee Min-kyu were missing, so I think we won."
Regarding blocking of OK Financial Group\'s offense, he said, "Leo\'s offense share used to be high, but this season he was mostly focused on domestic players. I tried to block mainly domestic players, but that part matched well. He also successfully targeted the serve."
KEPCO will have a showdown with Hyundai Capital on Monday after taking two days off. Hyundai Capital, which ranks sixth this season, announced the replacement of its coach Choi Tae-woong, who was accompanying the team for nine seasons, just before the game began.
"Coach Choi Tae-woong is a senior that I like and have a lot to learn from. You did a great job for the past nine seasons. I feel sorry for you as the same coach. I hope you rest a little and come back as a coach for another team," Kwon said.
"With the absence of a coach, Hyundai Capital (who will meet on the 24th) could bring us together and make us look even worse," he said. "I think we need to prepare well for our performance and be careful."
OK Financial Group lost to KEPCO on the same day and lost five consecutive games.
"I lost unfortunately, but I think the players became one mentally," OK Financial Group coach Oh Gi-no said. "There were some parts where two setters couldn\'t come out due to injuries. I don\'t know how much I can recover (before the next game), but we need to increase the success rate of side attacks and prepare to win the game for the rest of the time."
