Cheong Kwan-Jang Mega scores 20 points in two consecutive games…
Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is also full of breath, and each team’s commander says, “It’s a big help to our strength.”
The Asian quota system introduced this season appears to have a significant impact on the battle for rankings in the women’s professional volleyball division. 토토사이트
The Asia Quarter players selected from each team are filling the void by performing at a leading level within the team.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s wing striker Wipawi Sitong (Thailand, registered name Wipai) has established himself as a key player on the team with his incredible elasticity despite his short stature (174cm).
He led the team to victory in the game against IBK Industrial Bank on the 21st,
scoring 21 points, the second most on the team.
The only player who scored more points than Wipawi on this day was the foreign player Moma Basoko Letizia (registered name Moma).
Cheong Kwan-Jang’s Mega Wattie Puttiwi (Indonesia, registered name Mega) is playing the role of the team’s ace.
He scored more than 20 points in two consecutive games after the opening.
There are also teams that prevented power shortages with Asian quota players.
IBK Industrial Bank alleviated the setter problem with the addition of Ponpoon Gedpard (Thailand, registered name: Ponpoon),
and Pepper Savings Bank improved its height weakness by recruiting middle blocker MJ Phillips (Philippines, registered name: Phillips).
With the addition of Asian quarter players, the power gap between teams seems to have decreased.
Pepper Savings Bank, which lost 31 out of 36 games last season,
is in 5th place with 1 win and 2 losses in 3 games this season.
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea suffered three consecutive losses after the opening,
but played evenly in the last two games,
taking one set each against strong teams Hyundai Engineering & Construction and GS Caltex.
The managers of each team who are in charge of the field agree that the addition of the Asia Quarter players has made it easier for them to manage their players.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Seong-hyung said ahead of the home game against Korea Expressway Corporation held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 25th,
“We were concerned about height issues when selecting Wipawi,
but his jumping and serving abilities are better than expected, so he is a great help to the team.” said.
Korea Expressway Corporation coach Kim Jong-min also said,
“It seems that there is a team that has benefited greatly from the Asia Quarter players.”
He added, “Tanacha Suksot (registered name: Tanacha, Thailand),
an Asia Quarter player on our team, is an aposite spiker (along with other players).
Traffic control is necessary, but we will be able to improve teamwork by the middle of the second round.”
There are also voices saying that the bubble in professional volleyball is bursting with the introduction of the Asian quota.
The annual salary of Asian quarter players is fixed at $100,000 (about 135 million won),
which is less than the average compensation for the women’s division (152 million won).
It is more efficient for the club to use Asian quota players rather than excessively using domestic players who receive annual salaries of up to hundreds of millions of won.
Some clubs are voicing the need to increase Asian quarter entries.
On the other hand, there are predictions that the domestic player base will be greatly reduced due to the Asian quota players. 카지노사이트 백링크
In fact, many players who were main players until last season saw their playing time decrease significantly.
It is pointed out that Asian quota players may have a negative impact on the domestic volleyball ecosystem.
