"I think we should bring out Chris's strengths."

OK Savings Bank, led by Coach Ogino Masayoshi, lost to Woori Card in the men's team of Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at the Ansan Sangnoksu Gymnasium on Wednesday with a set score of 1-3. Having failed to add more points, OK Savings Bank (score point 4) failed to escape from the bottom.

OK Savings Bank was the earliest in the men's team to replace a foreign player. Lucconi, who chose to try out without renewing his contract with Leo, failed to be of great help to the team and packed his bags. Although Lucconi is not tall (195 centimeters) tall, he drew attention with his "surgent jump" approaching one meter.
However, Lucconi showed below-expected attack strength not only in the Cup but also in the season. Lucconi left the club with 29 points in five matches, 35.29 percent success rate and 14.71 percent efficiency in attack. He failed to display clear attack through apogit, and thus parted ways with OK Savings Bank early on.

That's how OK Savings Bank brought Chris. Chris is an apogit with a height of 2 meters and 10 centimeters. He played in Bulgarian and Polish leagues. He is good at offense and blocking that come from high RBIs using his height. Chris was rated first by two teams and second by one team in a tryout preference survey, but was not chosen by the team.

Ogino said before the game that he would use Chris as a one-point blocker, but granted him more chances to play than expected. Chris stepped on the court for the first time with situations of 23-22 in the first set. However, he was replaced again due to Ki's miss on serve.

He had more chances to play in the second or third set. His serve was powerful as well as offense. He wasn't a strong serve, but he displayed strict ball pitching to sway Woori Card's receiving. Moreover, as he was tall, Woori Card's strikers couldn't easily score points when Chris was deployed to the potential.

Chris scored three points and had one block. The attack rate was 28.57 percent. He still left a question mark on offense. Of course, he just joined the team. He needs to blend into Ogino's system and work with the setters more.

Coach Ogino said, "I like the mindset of trying to be together. I think we should bring out Chris' strengths. His blocking was strong. We will make sure that we follow the instructions as we ask." As the recruitment of Lucconi failed, OK Savings Bank should let Chris play a foreign player to some extent. 메이저놀이터
