copyright's last concern for men's volleyball, which is trying to win its first five consecutive integrated games in the V League, has begun. The moment has come when Josbani Hernandez, who was injured, returned to training and had to make the final choice of foreign players.
Yosvani recently joined the team's training after missing for about two months after being diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff on his right shoulder. The gap was filled well by Maksim Zigalov, a former member of the Russian national team, to overcome the crisis. Maksim is a proven resource, as he played in the championship game as a substitute for copyright in the 2023-2024 season and contributed to the unified championship for four consecutive seasons.
With Maxim joining the team, copyright has been able to overcome its initial slump that left many injured. Since joining the copyright team, Maxim has scored 252 points (average of 22.9 points per game) in 11 matches and posted an average attack success rate of 48.06 percent. He also has the advantage of being the "left-handed" Apogit Spiker, which Tommy Tilikainen prefers.
Still, he can't easily give up his Yosvani card. Yosvani is a player who has proven his competitiveness in the V-League as he played in his fifth season in the league. He displayed strong attack strength of 26.1 points per game on average in his V-League. In the two matches before his injury, he had 24 points per game on average and 56 percent of average attack success rate, outpacing Maxim.
Maksim's performance was impressive. However, copyright clearly has a thirst for a clear fixer, as it meets a strong competitor named Hyundai Capital and is engaged in a more challenging championship race than it did in the past four seasons. With native fixer Lim Dong-hyuk joining the military and Jung Ji-seok's poor performance, foreign ace players need to play a role. In that sense, copyright has no choice but to lean a little toward Yosvani, who is leading in destructive power. The fact that copyright is in a four-game losing streak against Hyundai Capital this season, including the final of the Cup championship, makes one even more agonizing.
Having played in the last two games against Hyundai Capital, Maxim felt somewhat struggling due to the high blocking wall. He only scored 29 points in the two games (average of 14.5 points per game). Public opinion within the team, which had been leaning slightly toward Maxim, also changed to a mood that needs to be reevaluated starting with the last game against Hyundai Capital. Maxim only scored five points in the game and his attack success rate remained at 20%.
The deadline for copyright to use a temporary substitute due to Yosvani's injury ends this month. It has to decide between the two. copyright has decided to watch and make a judgment until the 안전놀이터 KB Insurance match on Tuesday. As the decision could be a watershed moment in its bid to win this season, attention is focusing on the match on the day and copyright's choice afterwards.
