Hyundai E&C and Jeong Kwan-jang played the first round of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League Women's first round match at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on Sunday. The result was Hyundai E&C's 3-1 victory. Lee Da-hyun's performance on the day was impressive. He managed to grab seven blocks and also grabbed the finishing block at 38-37 in the fourth set of a huge deuce match.

However, Lee Da-hyun, who visited the interview room after the game, said, "The opponent's attacks on both sides were so strong that the blocking was focused on Megawati Putty (registered name Mega), but I was a little confused because Hye-sun reversely used it and wrote a play toward Seung-joo (Pyo)."

And Lee Da-hyun, the ever-studying player, showed perfect feedback on her disappointing parts in the second round match, which took place eight days later. In the second round match, which was relocated to Suwon, Lee Da-hyun grabbed as many as 11 blocks to lead her team's 3-1 (25-18, 25-16, 23-25, 25-19) victory. In particular, she made seven blocks in the first set alone, setting a new record for the most blocks in a single women's set.

Lee Da-hyun, who came into the interview room after leading another victory, said, "When I got the first one or two, I thought I just had a good feeling, but after that, I thought, 'Oh, I can catch everything if I just put my arm in what I see?' There were many high-ball situations, so it was easy to read the course, and it was also thanks to the side blockers' good position," telling the story of the blocking sensation that was hot from the first set.온라인카지노

Afterwards, Lee Da-hyun brought up the story of Yeom Hye-sun's reverse play, which she mentioned after the first round confrontation. He said, "Hye-sun kept watching me in the last round and made such a good play in the opposite direction. I think that's the best play in the V-League. So I tried to keep watching the video and read the flow," he said, mentioning that he had a thorough rebirth to avoid being beaten by the same play twice. I could see that he made the best preparation to face the player who knows how to play the best. 

Meanwhile, one of the previous holders of the record for the most blocks in a single women's set on the day was Yang Hyo-jin, a senior who played with her (five, two times). Yang Hyo-jin achieved two records but faded due to her team's defeat, but Lee exceeded this record and was able to lead her team to victory. It was a meaningful day to make the process beyond the seniority with the senior.

Lee Da-hyun said, "I am glad that I was able to play on the court with (Yang) Hyo-jin on such a good day. I am the person who watches her practice the most closely. The whole process is really helpful to me. When I become Hyo-jin's age later, I think my current times will be remembered as the days when I made the precious foundation as a volleyball player."

Lee Da-hyun told me a little more about Yang Hyo-jin. He said, "I observe my sister a lot. I see her behind the net, I see her next to me. I tend to watch steps and timing, etc. intensively," he said, introducing how to spend time with Yang Hyo-jin. "My sister said to me, 'Blocking can only be said to know a little bit now if about 100 formulas are established in the head.' I think he's really right. That's why I'm trying to learn everything about my sister," he said, emphasizing that there is still a long way to go and climb.

Additional stories about the game also showed that Lee's development and growth are still in progress. "The blocking timing was good, but the opponent team's block height was good, so I tried to open it all, but the timing of the attack was a bit late. Still, it was a relief that I got hit in the second half of the game. If one (blocking) goes well, one (attack) does not work (laughs). He goes back and forth," Lee said, pointing out that although he showed strong performance in the attack, he still had some regrets.

Since it was this game that showed how to compensate for the regrets he felt in the previous game, I was looking forward to seeing what kind of attack Lee Da-hyun will show in the next game. Lee Da-hyun's sharper attack, which will change the blade once again, can be seen in the second round match against IBK Industrial Bank on the 21st.
