"0% chance? It was broken last year. It's just a number. I want to show you this year."

Spring sunshine after 2561 days. It was too good to turn away.

Chung's first postseason victory in seven seasons. Head coach Go Hee-jin Chung pumped her fist once again.

The team defeated Heungkuk Life 3-1 in straight sets in the second round of the Dodram V League Women's Playoffs at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on April 24 to set up a best-of-three series on April 26. Jeong's postseason victory came 2561 days after the second leg of the playoffs against IBK on March 20, 2017 (3-2).

All 3514 seats were sold out, and the venue was ablaze with cheers. Jung was not far behind as Heungkuk Saengsim drew clouds of supporters everywhere they went.

In the end, it was all about filling the void left by Lee So-young and Jung Ho-young. The 'hidden card' Kim Se-in stood out. With a 64.7 percent reception success rate and nine points, she was responsible for one of the outside hitters. "I think we showed why we traded Kim Sae-in today," said coach Ko Hee-jin, smiling broadly.

The veteran's stability and two-step connection also stood out. 안전놀이터 추천 It also gave the coach a pleasant thought about whether to utilize Jung Ho-young and Hansong when they return for Game 3.

"In Game 1, there was a lot of fumbling in the two-step connection. It was probably ridiculous because they made so many mistakes. When (Han) makes one, it makes the other players feel comfortable."

At one point in the second set, they trailed by one point at 24-19. It was reminiscent of the nightmare third set, when they came back from 22-16 down in the first game. "It wasn't a call that I could have protested. I focused on the players' mind control," said Ko.

It was her first spring volleyball victory as a head coach. But she doesn't have time to dwell on the personal.

"At the end of the day, it's all about how we harass Reyna and how they harass Jia. They had a lot of short serves coming in to try to keep her from attacking from behind, and we had to be prepared for that (to be picked up by other players). I think we definitely have the advantage in terms of physical strength."

In the 17 playoffs in the V-League's history, the first-round loser has never advanced to the championship game. For Chung, the odds are against them.

However, in last season's championship game, the Roadrunners pulled off the first reverse sweep (three straight wins after two straight losses) in V-League history. Coincidentally, their opponent was also Heungkuk Saengsim. "We want to show a 0% miracle like last season," said coach Ko Hee-jin.
