Korean Air, the "defending champion" who is trying to win for the first time in history, has a 72.2% chance of winning.

Korean Air won the set score 3-1 22-25 25-22 25-20 25-18 in the first round of the Dodram V-League men's championship decision in the 2023-24 season against OK Financial Group at Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium on the 29th.

Jung Ji-seok 29 properly played the role of an ace on the important stage. He scored 31 points including seven blocks, and displayed robust attack success rate of 67.65%. Maxim Zigalov registered as Maxim, who joined as a substitute ahead of the championship match, also contributed to the victory by scoring 20 points.

The winning team in the first round of the championship in the V League has a 72.22 percent chance of winning the championship. The winning team won the trophy 13 times out of the 18 championship matches. Korean Air and OK Financial Group will have their second round match at the same venue on Saturday after taking a day off.

Jung Ji-seok's performance is bound to be very welcome to Korean Air. Jung Ji-seok is the 'main gun' who is responsible for Korean Air's scoring. He is the smartest outside heater among native players. He was below expectations during this regular season.

Compared to last season, his score dropped sharply from 507 to 192. His success rate was not the same as in previous years, although he couldn't play on the court until the early part of the 2023-24 season due to back injury at the Hangzhou Asian Games where he played last year.

He played from the third round this season, scoring 192 points in 24 games, and his attack success rate was only 45.68 percent. He has a career attack success rate of 53.34 percent in the V-League. His attack success rate was 53.79 percent last season.

While Jeong was in a slump, Lim Dong-hyuk served as the "main gun" of Korean Air. He replaced foreign player Lincoln Williams with Murad Khan but brought in left-handed Apojit Maxim, who was a former member of the Qatar League and Russian national team, just before the championship game.

I was worried about managing foreign players for a season. Nevertheless, I was able to be here because Lim Dong-hyuk was so good.

However, the Korean Air desperately wanted to revive him. With Leo, the "Coupa Bomber," the opponent team has advanced to the championship game by holding two playoff matches against Woori Card, starting from the semi-playoff match with Hyundai Capital. As the team has strong momentum, Korean Air was expected to struggle.

Coach Tommy Tilikainen replaced Lim Dong-hyuk, who showed the best offense during the regular season, with Maksim, a newly recruited foreign player, as his starting card. Maksim contributed to Korean Air's victory by performing better-than-expected performance. Nonetheless, Jung Ji-seok will play the main role.

He swept the MVP award in the 2018-19 season of the regular season, and MVP award in the 2020-21 season of the regular season and the championship game. He has a lot of experience in big games.  메이저 토토사이트

OK Financial Group's momentum was also not strong. It was not easy to block Leo and Shin Ho-jin. Korean Air lost the first set. However, Korean Air was able to laugh with the firepower of Jung Ji-seok and Maxim.
