As a result, Hyundai Capital won the cup competition for the first time in 11 years since the Ansan competition in 2013.
Heo Soo-bong, who led the attack with 21 points, the most in the team, was selected as the most valuable player (MVP) and received 3 million won in prize money.
Immediately after the game, Huh Soo-bong said, “I think Hyundai Capital has won for the first time in a long time, but it was really thrilling,” adding, “I’m so happy, and I think the players have overcome difficult situations, so the team will grow further.”
As for the MVP award, he said, “Honestly, I didn’t expect to receive it. I didn’t expect much from Leo because I thought he would receive it, but I’m happy to receive it. I think I could have received it because the players helped me. I will pay all the prize money for the players’ dinner.”
“In the first set, we made a mistake that was not like our team, and we lost the first set,” Huh said. “We also had a close game in the full set the previous day, and we lost the first set because we couldn’t concentrate in the beginning. From the second set, we reorganized and communicated a lot among the players. We talked about it without any regrets.”메이저놀이터
