In the professional volleyball men's division, KB Insurance's Korean Min changed his position from wing striker to middle blocker.

Korean Min will play as a middle blocker in the visiting game against Korea Electric Power Corporation to be held at Suwon Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 17th.

KB Insurance coach Hu In-jung said, “I decided that I could play a longer career as a center (middle blocker) rather than on the side (aposite spiker, outside heater), so I actively changed my position.” 온라인카지노

He added, “I adapted more than I thought.”

“I was surprised that he did well,” he said.

He has often played as a middle blocker in cup competitions, etc., but in this regular season, he will play a changed position from the opening game.

Korean Min, who was selected as the 4th pick in the first round of the 2018-2019 rookie draft, played 83 sets in 29 games last year and scored 106 points (25.14% attack success rate).

The player placed in the center together is Choi Yo-han, who is 199 cm tall and was selected as the second pick in the fourth round of last year's draft.

Coach Hu said, “Every year, I heard that the height of the middle blocker was a weakness,” and added, “To reinforce the height, I started with Min Han and Yo-han Choi, and they followed the off-season training well.”

Meanwhile, Coach Hu was also concerned about the condition of main gun Andrés Vijena (registered name Viena).

Coach Hu said, "I injured my calf muscle while playing for the Spanish national team.

I was worried about myself, so I couldn't train much.

My condition is about 80%."

KEPCO coach Kwon Young-min placed his hopes on Japanese libero Ryohei Iga, who joined the team on the Asian quota.
