“Spring volleyball, which I only watched on TV, is exciting to play” ‘Spring season’ after 7 years, two pillars of CheongKwanJang

'Seonmyung Girls' High School duo' Park Eun-jin and Jeong Ho-young are middle blockers responsible for fast attacks in the center of the court. Park Eun-jin of Team ‘Wings’, with a success rate of over 50% in the second half, “lost in the second round “The players’ confidence” Ho-young Jeong “Turns hate into cheering “It will be stronger”

Professional volleyball women's Jeong Kwan-Jang's two middle blockers, Park Eun-jin (left) and Jeong Ho-young, are striking a blocking pose at the club's practice gym in Daejeon. The two players, who are one-year seniors and juniors at Jinju Myeong Girls' High School, are determined to recreate the glory of their high school days, when they won four national championships together, on this 'spring volleyball' stage for the first time since their professional debut.

“I always felt bitter while watching ‘Spring Volleyball’ on TV. I’m excited that I can now feel the pressure of spring volleyball. “I think it will be exhilarating to be on the court.”

These are the words of Jeong Ho-young (Jeong Kwan-jang, middle blocker), who entered the postseason stage 5 seasons after his professional debut. Jeong Kwan-Jang, who failed to advance to the postseason in succession from the 2017-2018 season to last season, secured third place in the regular league this season and will enter the spring volleyball stage for the first time in seven seasons. Among the seven professional volleyball women's teams, Cheong Kwan-Jang is the only team that has suffered from a spring volleyball drought for more than six seasons.

Ho-Young Jeong was a promising player who attracted attention enough to be selected for the adult national team when he was in his third year at Gwangju Sports Middle School. In 2018, when she was a sophomore at Jinju Seonmyeong Girls' High School, she led third-year senior Park Eun-jin (middle blocker) to four national championships. When Gwanjang Jeong nominated Park Eun-jin as the second overall pick in the 2018-2019 season rookie draft and Chung Ho-young as the first overall pick in the following season, it seemed like 'spring day' was just around the corner.

However, even after the two players joined, a ticket to the postseason seemed impossible to secure. Last season, we were not invited to the ‘Spring Banquet’ because we were just one point short. Park Eun-jin, who met with Jeong Ho-young at the club's practice gym in Daejeon, said, "Ahead of this season, I promised myself, 'Let's not leave any regrets like last season.' “I will not be satisfied with advancing to spring volleyball and will prepare more firmly for the postseason game,” he said.

For a middle blocker who plays in the middle of the court, fast breaks are as important as blocking. Park Eun-jin had a fast-break success rate of only 45.2% in the first half of this season (rounds 1 to 3). Ho-Young Jeong (47.3%) also failed to exceed 50% in quick attack success rate. However, Park Eun-jin is ranked first in this category (56.3%) in the second half of the year. Ho-Young Jeong also ranked 4th in quick attack success rate (52.7%) during the same period. As the two players survived, Jeong Gwan-jang was able to break away from the attack pattern that relied on the pair of wing strikers Mega (Indonesia) and Zia (USA).

Of course, the team performance also improved. CheongKwanJang, which had 7 wins and 11 losses (24 points) in the first half, is now recording 13 wins and 3 losses (37 points) in the second half. If Cheong Kwan-Jang, who has recently won 7 games in a row, defeats Pepper Savings Bank, the lowest ranked team, in the last home game of the season on the 13th, they can tie the club's record for the longest winning streak (8 consecutive wins). Jeong Ho-young said, “In the past, there was pressure that all six players on the court had to do well to win. “Now, I have faith that even if someone is not in good condition, other team members can take their place,” he said.

Ryu Hyun-jin “There were too many arrests” The highest speed in the first demonstration was 148 km/h.

In his first start against KIA, he showed off a variety of pitches, including a curveball and a cutter, allowing 1 run in 4 innings, proving that he was a control artist,with some spectators waiting to enter from early in the morning.

Ryu Hyun-jin is pitching as a starter in the 2024 professional baseball exhibition game against KIA held at Daejeon Stadium on the 12th. On this day, Ryu Hyun-jin, who threw a mix of fast balls (27), change-ups (12), cutters (12), and curves (11), allowed 1 run in 4 innings with 62 balls without 4 outs.

Ryu Hyun-jin (37, Hanwha) ‘Ryu Hyun-jin did it’. Ryu Hyun-jin started the professional baseball exhibition game held at Daejeon Stadium on the 12th and threw 62 balls in 4 innings, allowing 3 hits, 3 strikeouts, and 1 run, laying the foundation for the team's 9-1, Kangwoo Cold victory in the top of the 8th inning. According to the club, Ryu Hyun-jin's speed reached a maximum speed of 148 km/h that day. The speed is 5 km/h higher than the 143 km/h recorded in the club's own practice game on the 7th. Ryu Hyun-jin laughed, saying, “I think there were too many arrests.”

Ryu Hyun-jin, who started the game by returning KIA's top hitter Park Chan-ho (29) to a ground ball to shortstop, tried to steal the hitting timing by throwing a 'slow curve' at 101 km per hour against the opponent's second hitter, Lee Woo-sung (3. However, Lee Woo-seong, who hit a double, hit home when the next batter, Kim Do-young (21), hit a heavy hit. Kim Do-young also hit a line drive in his second at-bat in the third inning. Ryu Hyun-jin said, “Kim Do-young’s bat control was good. “I felt he was a good hitter,” he said.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who completed his defense in the top of the first inning without allowing any additional runs, entered the pitch in the top of the second inning with a 9-1 lead thanks to the 5-RBI performance of Noh Si-hwan (24), who came to bat twice in the bottom of the first inning alone. KIA's leading hitter was veteran Choi Hyeong-woo (41). Choi Hyung-woo was the ‘Ryu Hyun-jin Killer’, recording a career batting average of 0.400 (16 hits in 40 at-bats) before Ryu Hyun-jin entered the Major League (ML of American professional baseball. However, Ryu Hyun-jin threw two cutters and two fastballs in a row, resulting in a swing and strikeout. The result of the second match in the top of the 4th inning was also a ground ball to first base. Among the nine KIA batters who faced Ryu Hyun-jin on this day, Choi Hyeong-woo was the only one who had experience facing Ryu Hyun-jin before.

When Ryu Hyun-jin pitched in the top of the 4th inning, he proved why he is called a 'control artist' against KIA foreign hitter Socrates (32). Facing Socrates in a crisis where Hanwha first baseman Chae Eun-seong (34) was on base with no outs due to an error by Hanwha first baseman Chae Eun-seong (34), Ryu Hyun-jin threw a curveball, fastball, and fastball and recorded a strikeout on three pitches. The Automatic Ball and Strike System (ABS) judged all three balls thrown by Ryu Hyun-jin to the 'border line' to be strikes. Socrates shook his head in disbelief and returned to the dugout.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who experienced ABS for the second time following the club's own practice game on the 7th, said, “There are difficulties in that the strike zone varies for each batter, but since the ball did not enter the zone, it is called a ball. “The players will not be able to protest,” he commented.

Although the game started at 1 p.m. on this day, some fans lined up in front of the stadium from dawn to see Ryu Hyun-jin from a little closer. At Daejeon Stadium, which recorded a full crowd (12,000 people) for the opening two exhibition games last weekend, 3,500 people visited on this weekday as well. There were more spectators at Daejeon Stadium than the total number of fans (3,20 who visited the other three stadiums where the game was held that day. Ryu Hyun-jin, who finished pitching in the top of the 4th inning, returned to the dugout after finishing bullpen pitching before Hanwha's attack in the bottom of the 5th, and waved vigorously at the fans first, and the crowd responded with applause and cheers.

Ryu Hyun-jin said, “When I went up to the mound, the cheers were so loud that I felt good. “He is satisfied that he completed the number of pitches and innings he intended to throw.” Ryu Hyun-jin is scheduled to start against 'defending champion' LG in the regular season opening game held at Jamsil Stadium on the 23rd after going for one more practice test against Lotte in the Sajik visit game on the 17th.

Ryu Hyun-jin’s brilliant return, “There were too many arrests “We will increase the number of pitches in time for the opening game.”

Hanwha starting pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin is fighting during an exhibition game between Kia Tigers and Hanwha Eagles in the professional baseball '2024 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League' held at Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park in Jung-gu, Daejeon on the afternoon of the 12th.

'Monster' Ryu Hyun-jin (37, Hanwha Eagles), who pitched in a Korean professional baseball exhibition game for the first time in 12 years, expressed satisfaction with his pitching in his return game to the point of joking after the game. Even in the chilly weather, the conditions were so good that the highest fastball speed was 148 km/h.

Ryu Hyun-jin started the 2024 KBO League exhibition game against the KIA Tigers held at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 12th and recorded 3 hits and 1 run in 4 innings.

Hanwha, which emerged as a dark horse ahead of this season, raised expectations by winning a cold game 9-1 over KIA, led by Ryu Hyun-jin's performance.

On this day, Ryu Hyun-jin made his first domestic start in 4,177 days since the final game against Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom) on October 4, 2012. Considering only the exhibition game, it was against the KIA Tigers on March 31, 2012, and it has been about 12 years and 4364 days since the team pitched on this day.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who started the game by giving up a score in the first inning due to the cold weather, returned to 'monster' mode in the second inning and neutralized the KIA batting line with his unique blade control. After the game, Ryu Hyun-jin said, “I felt good because the fans’ cheers were loud even though it was an exhibition game,” and “I am satisfied that I met the number of pitches and innings I originally planned to throw.” Although it was an exhibition game, about 3,500 spectators gathered at Daejeon Stadium on this day to cheer for Ryu Hyun-jin's return.

Hanwha's infield handled Ryu Hyun-jin's ground ball without making a mistake on this day. Ryu Hyun-jin said, “The infield defense was stable,” and “I am grateful to all the players for working hard, and I will continue to throw the ball with confidence in the defense.”

Ryu Hyun-jin successfully completed his starting pitch on this day, further increasing his chances of pitching in the opening game. In response to this, Ryu Hyun-jin expressed his determination, saying, “I think we will have to increase the number of pitches for the remaining period and make up for the changeup control that was lacking today.”

Manager Choi Won-ho, who watched the pitching that day, also gave a satisfactory evaluation, saying, “Ryu Hyun-jin showed stability in both pitch and control over 4 innings as per his goal.”

Meanwhile, Yang Hyun-jong was scheduled to be the KIA starter on this day, but Jang Min-ki took the mound instead due to poor physical condition due to an upset stomach. However, Jang Min-ki collapsed after giving up 7 runs in ⅔ innings without completing 1 inning.

Men's Tennis World No. 1 Djokovic suffers 'shock loss' to 21-year-old rookie Nardi

Eliminated in the 3rd round of the ATP Tour BNP Paribas Open

Novak Djokovic (Serbia), the world's No. 1 men's tennis singles player, suffered a shock loss to a 21-year-old rookie.

Djokovic defeated Luca Nardi (123rd, Italy) 1-2 (4-6 6-3 3) in the third round of the singles at the ATP Tour BNP Paribas Open held in Indian Wells, California, USA on the 12th (Korean time). We lost by -6).

The BNP Paribas Open is an ATP 1000 series tournament. The ATP 1000 series is the next level after the four major tournaments and is held nine times a year.

Djokovic, who won the Western & Southern Open in August last year and the Paris Masters in October, ended his 11-game winning streak in the ATP 1000 Series with this loss.

It has been six years since Djokovic lost to a player outside the top 50 in the world rankings, since he lost to Daniel Taro (Japan), who was ranked 109th at the time, in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open in March 2018.

Djokovic, who lost to Jannik Sinner (3rd place) in the Australian Open semifinals in January of this year, allowed another blow to the Italian rookie.

Nardi, who defeated Djokovic, has yet to win a tour tournament and his personal best world ranking is only 106th. Nardi, born in 2003, passed the preliminary round of this competition. He lost to David Goffin (11th place, Belgium) 1-2 (6-7 <4-7> 7-5 4-6) in the second round of the preliminary round, but as a player withdrew among the finalists, he qualified as a 'lucky loser'. I entered the final stage. Nardi, who passed the first round by default, defeated Zhang Zhi (50th place, China) 2-1 (6-3 3-6 6-3) in the second round, and suffered a major accident by catching Djokovic in the third round. Nardi, who has always considered Djokovic as his idol, looked in disbelief after the match and covered his face with both hands. “This victory is a miracle,” Nardi said. I am only 21 years old, and I am ranked in the top 100 in the world. “So beating Djokovic was crazy,” he said. “No one probably knew me before tonight. “I hope the crowd enjoyed the game, and I’m so happy that we won,” he said. Meanwhile, Nardi will face Tommy Paul (17th, USA) in the round of 16.
