"There was another one besides Leo" 2 years of apogee existence

Leonardo Leyva 34, registered name Leo was not the only one in OK Financial Group. Apogit Spiker Shin Ho-jin 23 led his team to the championship game with high-purity attack.

OK Financial Group won the first round of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League Men's Postseason Playoff held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 23rd with a set score of 3-2 25-20, 25-19, 22-25, 21-25, 15-11.

The OK Financial Group, which started third in the regular league, has a 88.9 percent chance. In the past, the winning team in the first round of the men's playoff in the V-League made 16 of 18 to the championship game.

On the day as well, Leo remained loyal to his role as the main gunner with 29 points, the most in any team. However, he was not the ace on the day. With his performance showing ups and downs, Leo had a 41.22 percent share of his offense, but only had a 50 percent success rate and 35.19 percent efficiency rate. He also made 10 individual errors.

Instead, he led the offense. Having failed to surpass 20 points in a single game this season, he increased his success rate by 70 percent and efficiency by 24 points with 63.33 percent, despite having a mere 22.9 percent share in offense. Notably, his success rate in offense up to the second set reached 80 percent.

"Chaengjin did a great job. I think he was in very good condition," Okay Financial Group coach Masahiro Ogiino said after the game. "I made a mistake in the first attack. I pointed out this part, but it was corrected on the next play. Chaengjin is a good player who gives answers to instructions once he gives them. He must have felt pressured today, but he did a good job."

"I felt heavy before the game, but my body came up while running," Shin Ho-jin said. "I can lean on my older brothers because I have a low annual leave. I think I did it comfortably because I have a lot of older brothers who will solve it for me even if I don't."

Shin Ho-jin, who graduated from Inha University, joined OK Financial Group as the first choice in the first round of the V League in the 2022-2023 season. Having boasted impressive offense by leading Inha University's three gold medals since his college days, Shin stood out with outstanding defense that maximized his partner Leo's offense this season. However, he showed off his insane presence with explosive offense reminiscent of his college days.

Shin Ho-jin said, "When I'm in a hurry, I tend to hit the ball from behind, but the coach gives me advice every time. As I got feedback like that every time, I think it was a good fit, including blocking," adding, "When I always worked hard, it was stopped at 19 points in one game, but I felt twice as good as I felt about breaking that record in the postseason."

They are signals that are particularly strong whenever they meet Woori Card. In this season alone, Woori Card's attack success rate when scores are higher than 10 points stood at 59.38 percent, and the team often showed better performance than when it faced other teams, including 40.74 percent in open attacks, 62.26% in quick openings, and 80 percent time difference. Woori Card manager Shin Young-chul also cautioned against this and prepared for this, but he was helpless until the second set.

Shin Ho-jin said, "Whenever I see Woori Card, I get confidence for some reason. I don't know why, but if I have fun, the result came out well," adding, "But the coach told me not to be overconfident. If I'm greedy, I won't get the play I want, so I'm going to play with the same mindset in the second round."

It may be difficult to get physical in two consecutive full-set matches, but they focus on recovery through eating a lot of food. Also, the team's teamwork, solidarity, and passionate support from fans, which are stronger than last year, help them overcome physical fatigue. On this day, 3,378 spectators visited, and one side was filled with oranges, the color of OK Financial Group.

Shin Ho-jin said, "When I looked at Won, I thought this was Ansan. I really appreciate it because more people came because it was the weekend. Since the second set is home, I think I will get good results if I get support from fans like today," adding, "I want to give myself 80 points today. I will try to fill the remaining 20 points at the championship."
