"Friends, it's been a while"
The expression of OK Savings Bank's Shin Jang-ho, who visited Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 7th, was more brilliant than other players. This is because Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon was the home stadium of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, where Shin Jang-ho had been involved for the past five years.
Shin Sang-ho wore a Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance uniform as the fourth-round pick in the 2019 Rookie Draft. With good offense and serve, he became a starting player in the 2020-2021 season, his second year as a professional, and has been steadily stepping on the court for the past five years to revitalize Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's outside heaters.
However, he became a free agent after the end of last season and changed his uniform with OK Savings Bank for a total of 200 million won (annual salary of 180 million won and option of 20 million won). This was his first visit to his hometown team since the transfer.
When Shin appeared on the court, Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance players welcomed their old teammates. In particular, he talked with Kim Jung-ho for a long time and showed off his friendship.
After the game, however, the mood was different. His smile, which he smiled brightly before the game, turned into a bitter smile. OK Savings Bank was completely defeated in a one-sided game. Asian quarter Ki Sung-long (13 points), native striker Shin Kyung-jin (12 points), and Cha Ji-hwan (11) scored double-digit points, but failed to overcome the absence of troubleshooter and collapsed weakly with a set score of 0-3 (19-25 20-25 21-25).
On the other hand, foreign player Blanimir Grosdanov (registered Grosdanov) was sluggish with six points, but the team had another troubleshooter. Asian quarterback Ali Fazli (21 points, registered name Fazli) played the right role and saved the Samsung Fire Department from a three-game losing streak. Also, Korean wing striker Kim Jung-ho (14 points) played his part. 안전놀이터
Shin looked full of emotions as he watched his old teammates play in the warm-up zone on the other court. He could not hide his regret that he could not play this season as his condition has not improved yet.
One of the reasons why Shin moved to OK Savings Bank is that he wanted to experience spring volleyball. Shin has no experience in spring volleyball since his debut. "I really want to experience spring volleyball for the first time in my life this season. I plan to do my best to reach the championship with OK," he said.
