My teammates came up to me and rubbed my shoulders. But the tears didn’t stop.
After the second leg of the 2022-23 season Dodram V-League men’s playoff (2 wins in 3 games) between Hyundai Capital and Korea Electric Power held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 26th, Hyundai Capital outside heater Lee Si-woo did that. He played his part with ‘Joker’ that day.
Lee Si-woo played as a substitute in sets 1-3 and started in sets 4 and 5. His true value stood out in the 4th set when Hyundai Capital was dragged.
Lee Si-woo not only scored offensive points, but also put serves into the opponent’s court several times to keep up with the score and bring the mood. If Hyundai Capital had won that day, ‘Siwoo Time’ could have been completed.
However, in the deuce situation in the 5th set, KEPCO Jo Geun-ho’s sub ace situation hurt Lee Si-woo. The receiving crime was directly connected to the point, and Hyundai Capital lost to KEPCO 2-3.
Lee Si-woo bowed his head and shed tears at the fact that his team lost due to his mistake. On the 28th, the final match of the playoffs came back to the homeroom. Choi Tae-woong, manager of Hyundai Capital, made an unexpected decision.
Siwoo Lee was placed in the starting lineup, not as a replacement card. Lee Si-woo slowed down a bit with a 5-point attack success rate of 30% that day. However, he scored a point with his long-term serve. Above all, Hyundai Capital won the KEPCO with a set score of 3-1 and obtained a ticket to the championship match with a series record of 2 wins and 1 loss.
By advancing to the championship match, he was able to relieve some of the burden left in a corner of Lee Si-woo’s heart. In the 3rd game of the playoffs, his numerical performance was low, but Lee Si-woo scored an attack that cut off the opponent’s pursuit in every important situation.
There is a part where Lee Si-woo prepared a foothold for Hyundai Capital to win the first and second sets in a row at the time. He scored points in every situation where KEPCO chased and could bring the flow. In tennis, he brought the break point.
However, the fact that Lee Si-woo spends more time on the court is not a good thing for the team as a whole. There is a good reason for that.
This is because drunken outside heater Jeon Kwang-in injured his ankle and could not play. Director Choi is also in a situation where he cannot let Lee Si-woo go. Lee Si-woo is also well aware of the current situation of the team. 안전놀이터
That is why he will focus more on the championship game against Korean Air starting on the 30th. Lee Si-woo looked back on the last three playoff games, saying, “I think I had a really valuable experience.”
Most of all, he was able to overcome obstacles well and finish the series with victory while playing 14 sets of 3 matches.
Lee Si-woo also said, “It is a great honor for me to be able to win with my teammates.” He said, “I will focus more on the championship match,” and expressed his determination, “I will win the championship so that I can shed tears of joy this time.”
The championship match, which will be held in a best-of-five match, will be held at Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium, the home court of Korean Air, in the case of the first and second matches. The 3rd and 4th matches will be held at Yu Gwan-sun Gymnasium in Cheonan, the home of Hyundai Capital.
If it goes to the last 5 games, it will be held at the Gyeyang Gymnasium.
