The V-League's men's ranking at the top of the overall ranking will likely change as early as Wednesday or as late as Sunday. It is also interesting to note that the two who give up the crown and the one who take over the crown were once in a relationship that formed a dynasty together at Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance.
KBSN Sports commentator Park Cheol-woo ranked first in men's V-League as of Wednesday. Park, who played from 2005 season to 2023-2024, the first year of professional volleyball, scored 2013 points through rear-end attacks in 564 games. Ranked second in the list is Leo (Hyundai Capital), who is considered the best foreign player in the V-League ever. Leo played in 202 games and scored 2007 points through rear-end attacks. The gap between the two players is only six points.
This is Leo's seventh season in the V-League during the 2024-2025 season. Born in 1990, Leo entered the V-League as a foreign player for Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance during the 2012-2013 season when he was in his early 20s. Despite his height of 2m6, he was skinny weighing around mid-70kg when he joined the team. Having gained weight under the tutelage of "master" Shin Chi-yong, Leo dominated the V-League MVP for three seasons from the 2014-2015 season by destroying the court from his debut season. While responsible for nearly 50 percent of his team's offense, Leo displayed more than 50 percent of attack success rate, which was truly an "absolute man." Of course, he was also responsible for the MVP of the championship game in the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons. During the 2014-2015 season, he went straight to the championship game by leading Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance to the top spot in the regular league, but lost to OK Savings Bank led by Robertlandy Simone from Cuba, and left the V-League the following year.
Leo, who played in the overseas league, knocked on the door of the V-League again by participating in the tryout of foreign players in the 2021-2022 season. Leo, who played for OK Savings Bank for three seasons from 2023 to 2024, said, "His youthful spirit during the Samsung Fire Department has disappeared, but he has become more seasoned. He also showed better serve than during the Samsung Fire Department.온라인카지노
Leo, who personally led OK Savings Bank's second place in the championship last season, participated in the tryout again in accordance with the policy of giving up the renewal of the contract by Coach Ogino Massage, and will wear the uniform of Hyundai Capital, which earned the second-place nomination. Leo, who had brutally knocked down his traditional rival Hyundai Capital in the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance uniform in the past, played in Cheonan in Hyundai Capital's uniform after 12 years.
Leo, who is still showing off his outstanding skills this season and leading Hyundai Capital's lead, will play in the men's second round of the 2024-2025 V-League against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 19th.
He scored 2007 points through trailing offensives in 202 games. He scored an average of 9.935 trailing offensives per game, but his performance declined this season. He made 23 trailing offensives in seven games. The average is 3.29 per game. Leo was exempted from receiving until the last season and only focused on offense, but he is on the receiving line this season. In addition, Hyundai Capital does not have to leave more than 50 percent of its offense to Leo. Heo Su-bong, the ace of the national team, and Apogit Sinfeng of the Asian quarter are also available.
Leo has more records to beat Park this season. In all-time total score, Park ranks first with 6,623 points, and Leo ranks second with 6,124 points. If it was Leo who scored close to 1,000 points every season with a difference of 499 points, it would be natural to surpass this season, but if it is Leo who plays for Hyundai Capital, the possibility drops to around 70%. First of all, Leo will soon take the top spot in the rear attack. Attention is focusing on whether Leo will be able to successfully write a milestone against his former team Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance on the 19th.
