Yesterday, in the third leg of the 2023-2024 South Korean Women's Volleyball League championship and runner-up finals, the Hyundai Engineering Construction women's volleyball team narrowly defeated the Heungkook Life Insurance women's volleyball team 3-2 (22-25 25-17 23-25 25-23 15-7) away, and the Hyundai Construction women's volleyball team won three consecutive games 3-2 narrowly and defeated Heungkook Life with a total score of 3-0 to win the league championship. This game was another game, Heungkook Life led 2-1 and was reversed by Hyundai Construction 3-2 to win the runner-up of the season. Xingguo Life lost five games in three consecutive games and missed the championship. Kim Ge regretted missing the Korean league championship again after last season.
Hyundai Construction tied twice in the case of falling behind twice in the game, and finally won the five-game battle, in the best-of-five games, all of them lost the first game and then reversed the victory, and defeated the Xingguo Life led by Jin Ruanjing 3-2 in three games, and finally won the championship. Xingguo Life has been the runner-up for two consecutive seasons. In the 2022-23 season, Heungguo Life won three consecutive games by Road Commune after winning two of the best-of-five finals.
Hyundai E&C won the championship for the third time after the 2010-11 and 2015-16 seasons, and Momoa scored 38 points in the third game of the final, and won the MVP of the final in three finals. Jin Ruanjing scored 23 points. Although Xingguo Life has a golden soft scene, modern construction has Momoa, Liang Xiaozhen and Li Duoxian. In the end, Xingguo Life could only accept the cruel reality of being the runner-up for two consecutive seasons.
Korean media reported: In the final, Jin Ruanjing's performance was unique, although she did not show efficient offensive efficiency as before, but whether it was receiving the serve, smashing or passing, Jin Ruanjing silently undertook a lot of invisible "dirty work". The extremely physically exhausted life of Xingguo was able to fight with modern construction in the middle of the championship to the end, and the biggest motivation was undoubtedly Jin Ruanjing.
Despite maintaining the usual level, it is a shame to be the runner-up for the second year in a row. At the moment, there is more attention to the possibility of Jin Ruanjing prolonging his career. However, for the Xingguo Life Club, it seems that it will take a lot of effort to keep Jin Ruanjing. The setter problem, which has been criticized throughout the season, the lack of attackers who can replace Kim Jung-kyung, and the failure of foreign aid selection, the Heungkook Life team really did not provide enough support for Kim Jung-kyung's "last dance".
What will the "volleyball goddess" choose to think about again after a year? Although the season has ended, the attention of all volleyball fans has once again arrived. Last month, a Korean media asked Jin Ruanjing about his future plans, and Kim Ruanjing's answer at the time was: I am thinking about it, but I don't want to talk more about this topic to the outside world.
Kim Ruanjing is an evergreen tree in Asian and even world volleyball, twice leading the South Korean women's volleyball team to the semifinals of the Olympic Games, and even broke the routine for the Olympic Committee to award the Olympic MVP to the fourth place. After not participating in the national team competition now, the South Korean women's volleyball team has fallen from the top four in Asia (Chinese women's volleyball team, Japanese women's volleyball team, South Korean women's volleyball team, Thai women's volleyball team) to the point where it is difficult to win in the world series and is bullied!
In fact, Jin Ruanjing can learn from Lang Ping and go to coach the Korean women's volleyball team, she has first-class skills, and she can lead the rise of the Korean women's volleyball team and be the "Lang Ping of the Korean women's volleyball team"!
