“If you go to this team, you have to hit (spike) 1,500 times, and if you go to that team, you have to hit it 1,000 times. If you come to our team, you only have to hit it 500 times,” former coach Choi Tae-woong joked.

It was a statement that acknowledged the “secret volleyball” that was already known among foreign players seeking to advance to the V League.

The V League, which does not have many domestic striker resources, sometimes operates to drive attacks to foreign players depending on team circumstances.

Some players testified that it was difficult to play this way.

Elisabet Ine Barga (Hungary, registered name Elisabet), who played for Pepper Savings Bank in the 2021-2022 season and KGC Ginseng Corporation in the 2022-2023 season, chose to transfer to the Polish league instead of applying for a V League tryout this season.

Elizabeth, who currently plays for KPS Chemic Police in the Polish Women’s League, said in an interview on the league’s official website on the 14th (local time), “I can’t even remember how many balls I hit in the Korean league because there were so many balls,” adding, “I knew what my role was as a striker anyway, and I always did my best for the team.”

Elizabeth was the No. 1 overall pick, wearing a new team Pepper Savings Bank uniform, ranking sixth in scoring (598 points) and fourth in attack success rate (41.45%) in the 2021-2022 season.

The “secret volleyball” that Elizabeth appealed in an interview came in the 2022-2023 season, the second season of the V League.

At that time, Elizabeth scored 1,15 points, almost 100 points ahead of the 879 points of the second-ranked Letizia Moma Vasoko (registered name Moma, GS Caltex at the time).

It is the third time that the women’s team has surpassed 1,000 points in the 2011-2012 season after Madelaine Montagno Caicedo (KGC, registered name Montagno, 1,76 points) and Joyce (KGC, 1,9 points) in the 2013-2014 season, and it is the second place in a single season.

Elizabeth was overwhelmed just by the attack possession.

Elizabeth’s attack share, which was 35.71% at Pepper Savings Bank, rose to 41.30% at KGC, ranking overwhelmingly first in the league.

The No. 1 offensive share in the women’s division was 54.46 percent of KGC Joyce in the 2013-2014 season.

“In the V League, a team is formed in a way that one or two players lead most of the attacks,” Elizavet said. “In contrast, in the Polish league, even though Apogit Spiker attacks heavily, attacks are distributed among multiple players and attacks are carried out in various ways.”

Elizabeth’s attack share in the Polish league this season is 21.51%, which is half that of last season when she played in the V League.

Elizabeth added, “Unlike being abused in Korea, I’m glad I didn’t feel that way here.”

The owners and operators of the Philippine casino and leisure complex Newport World Resort (pictured) in the capital Manila say overall net profit for the Philippine casino and leisure complex fell about 7.6% to about 7.3 billion PHP ($128.5 million) in the second quarter compared with the previous three months. The revenue was up 4.3% year over year.

In the April-June period of 2023, gross gaming revenue (GGR) fell about 2.2% to about 8.7 billion PHP compared to the first quarter of this year. In the second quarter, GGR was up about 6.1% year-over-year.

The information was from Monday’s filing with the Philippine stock exchange and a presentation by local conglomerate Alliance Global Group Inc., the governing body of Travelers International Hotels Group.

Travelers International’s full-year net profit rose 27.3% year-on-year to 15.15 billion PHP. During the period, GGR rose about 19.7% to 17.6 billion PHP.

Travellers’ net profit rose 124.8% year-over-year to 320 million PHP in the second quarter of 2023. It remained at 516 million PHP for the first six months of the year, compared to just 19 million PHP in the first half of 2022.

Alliance Global said Travelers International’s GGR expansion was “driven by continued recovery in the bulk sector and continued improvement in its VIP business.”

Game net revenue in the first half of the year rose about 24.0% year-on-year to about 11.9 billion PHPs. “The current overall decline continues to improve across all gaming segments, with pedestrian numbers outperforming pre-pandemic levels,” the parent company said.

Travellers International’s nongame core revenue (i.e., including hotels, food, beverages and other services) rose about 43.5% year-over-year to 3.3 billion PHP, “following an increase in clandestine, hotel occupancy, corporate events and MICE [meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition] activities.”

Newport World Resort currently has five global hotel brands: Marriott Manila Hotel, Sheraton Manila Hotel, Hilton Manila, Hotel Okura Manila and Holiday Inn Express Manila. The average occupancy rate in the first half of 2023 was between 68% and 84%, according to data Monday from Alliance Global.

According to a Thursday press release from W Hotels, Hotel W Macao at the Macau Studio City Casino Resort will “open on Sept. 8.” It will add 557 rooms and suites (e.g., photos) to the Studio City complex.

The “W Hotel” mark is the brand of hotel giant Marriott International.

According to Thursday’s announcement, W Macau has four food and beverage stores, including two bars. Spa facilities and meeting and event spaces will also be set up.

Studio City’s majority shareholder, Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd, said W Macau would open “in September” in early August when it reports the group’s second quarter results.

According to an announcement Thursday, W Macao stated, “Reservations have now begun.” When GGRAsia tried to inquire about reservations through the Marriott Bonvoy Hotel Group’s online booking engine, the message returned: “Sorry, we don’t have any rooms available for the date of your choice at this time.”

As of Thursday afternoon, Studio City’s official website still did not mention W Macau as a “stay” section.

GGRAsia has approached Melco Resorts to clarify room availability in W Macau and what general facilities are available for hotels from Sept. 8. The company introduced us to a public relations company that made a Thursday announcement on behalf of W Hotels.

In April, Studio City announced the opening of the initial additional tower at the second stage of the 338-suite Epic Tower. Lawrence Ho Yau Lung, president and chief executive officer of Melco Resorts, said he was opening the company’s “for known customers first” at GGRAsia.

Melco Resorts is spending about $1.2 billion on the entire second phase of Studio City, including two existing hotel towers and two new hotel towers to complement its indoor water parks.

Oh Seung-hwan, who has become a free agent, made the remarks. Having played for the Samsung Lions for 13 seasons except for six years (2014-2019) in the Japanese and U.S. Major League Baseball (NPB) since joining the team in 2005, he declared that he would stay at Samsung even after securing his first free agent qualification in the KBO. Samsung also had strong will to catch Oh. Oh’s contract to stay at Samsung seemed to flow fast because both sides wanted to.

However, there was no sign of contract with Oh even after the year passed. In the meantime, Samsung recruited Kim Jae-yoon, an outside free agent, for a total of 5.8 billion won for four years, and held another free agent Lim Chang-min for a total of 800 million won for two years in the new year. Some also questioned if Oh might have caught two players just in preparation for his departure. However, whenever he does, Samsung said, “I keep talking positively with Oh.”

There was no word on Oh’s remaining until Kim Jae-yoon and Lim Chang-min were hired and Kim Dae-woo, an internal FA, was signed. Some raised doubts over his possible difference in price with Oh. As the unfounded estimate of the amount spread on the Internet, some speculated that Oh is greedy for money at a considerable age. Rumor has it that Oh suffered a lot due to this.

Leaving behind all kinds of rumors, Samsung and Oh Seung-hwan have joined hands. On Wednesday, Samsung signed a contract with Oh Seung-hwan, a free agent, to remain in the team. Oh signed a two-year contract worth a total of 2.2 billion won, including 1 billion won in down payment and 1.2 billion won in annual salary (400 million + 800 million won). He signed a multi-year contract worth two years for a lower amount than the usual amount.

After signing the contract, Samsung General Manager Lee Jong-yeol said in a telephone interview with this newspaper, “It was agreed from the beginning that Oh Seung-hwan will remain at Samsung. Oh suffered a lot when people around him said his contract would be delayed due to money, but he was considerate and supportive of his team. Thanks to the mutual concessions, we were able to sign a contract at a price that anyone could understand.”

One of the biggest reasons for the delayed contract was Samsung’s salary cap issue. Samsung had tight salary cap including two from outside FA and three from the second draft (Choi Sung-hoon, Yang Hyun and Jeon Byung-woo). Samsung, which was considering a multi-year contract with Oh, took time to calculate the amount of money needed to be adjusted by year. It has been reported that Samsung was delayed due to adjustment of details such as down payment and annual salary, rather than the “total cost issue” that had been rumored to be the issue.

“The deal was signed after a series of twists and turns. Samsung finished the final puzzle by remaining in Oh Seung-hwan. Lee Jong-yeol, who had pledged to strengthen the bullpen right after his inauguration, strengthened the back door by embracing Kim Jae-yoon (169 saves), Lim Chang-min (122 saves), and Oh Seung-hwan, the first player to save 400 in the KBO League. “It was achieved the way I first envisioned it. It is the best scenario,” Lee said, adding, “I gained momentum and confidence that it is worth a try in the new season. It is time for Oh and his players.”

PSG won 2-0 in the 18th round of the French League 1 against Lance in the 2023-24 season at Bollart Delilis, located in Lance, France, on the 15th (Korea time).

French media Le10 Sport reported that Luis Enrique was upset about Hakimi’s absence. When asked about Hakimi’s absence, Luis Enrique asked back, “Who is Lee Kang-in?” and said, “Campembe and Mendes can’t play either. Shkliniard is also a player who can’t play. I don’t know why you’re asking me that. As a coach, I have to do my best with the players I’m currently working with.” He added, “I have no reason to complain. Hakimi and others are key players of the team, but they are not here right now.”

Coach Luis Enrique has praised Lee Kang-in whenever he has the opportunity. After beating Toulouse with Lee Kang-in’s winning goal in the Trope de Champaign (France Super Cup) held on the 4th, Lee Kang-in is a player who can play anywhere. Lee Kang-in utilized a lot of space on the right side. He can change the way he plays without replacing players. It is a very important part for us.”

Lee Kang-in, who left PSG and joined the national soccer team, scored multiple goals in the first Group E match of the Asian Cup against Bahrain on the 15th, playing a leading role in South Korea’s 3-1 victory. Lee Kang-in scored the winning goal with a left-footed shot from the outside of the front of the penalty area in the 11th minute of the second half, and in the 23rd minute of the second half, he penetrated the right side of the penalty area and scored multiple goals with a left-footed shot to seal the victory.

He scored a brilliant multi-goal.” Le Parisien said, “Lee Kang-in scored a brilliant multi-goal and Korea is the most likely candidate to win the Asian Cup.”

After the match against Bahrain, Lee Kang-in said through Qatari media Gulf News, “No one on our team thought this match would be an easy one. There were good situations and bad situations. We tried to maintain our performance even when we scored and lost points. All the national teams are looking forward to winning the championship trophy, which they have not won in 64 years.”

Stars representing Korea’s men’s professional basketball responded with active fan service for fans who flocked to the ‘festival’ All-Star Game.5,581 spectators attended the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball All-Star Game held at Goyang Sono Arena on the 14th.After the All-Star Game was not held in the 2020-2021 season due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), it was sold out for three consecutive years, following 2022 (Daegu, 3,300 people) and last year (Suwon, 3,325 people).

Ahead of this All-Star Game, tickets were sold out in just 3 minutes after reservations began on the KBL integrated website on the 8th of this month, predicting an early success. Despite the inclement weather with overcast skies and winter rain and snow, the area around Sono Arena was crowded with fans about two hours before the game.The fans who filled the stands showed their strength by wearing the uniforms of the teams and players they were rooting for and prepared cheering slogans.

From the moment the players entered, they greeted the fans with a dance performance to their designated song. Heo Woong (KCC), the most popular star who ranked first in the All-Star voting for three consecutive years, drew cheers with his cute body movements to the song ‘Poppy’ by girl group Stay.When all the players had finished entering, Wonju DB coach Kim Joo-sung and Changwon LG coach Jo Sang-hyeon, who were in charge of the command towers of both teams, along with Yang Hong-seok (LG) and Kim Jong-gyu (DB) danced to Girls’ Generation’s “Gee” to the support of the fans. I reciprocated.

Last year’s All-Star Game MVP Ha Yoon-ki kicked off the event by singing KBS’ old logo song, famous for its singer Rain’s voice, rewritten as ‘KBL’.At the beginning of the game, Lee Kwan-hee (LG), who has recently emerged as the most famous basketball player thanks to his appearance in the Netflix dating reality show ‘Solo Hell’, appeared as the ‘scene stealer’. In a matchup with Jeong-Hyeon Lee (Samsung), who is famous for his ‘enemy’, he allowed a ‘3-point play’ due to a foul and went on the attack to make up for it, but a rare sight was created where all the players on Jeong-Hyun Lee’s team blocked him.In the second quarter, Heo Il-young (SK) and Daryl Monroe (Cheong Kwan-jang) wore referee uniforms instead of uniforms and blew the whistle for about a minute, bringing laughter.

There were a series of ‘biased’ foul calls in favor of each team, and a serious situation occurred where Heo Il-young stood under the goal line and played defense rather than defense when the opposing team made a free throw.In the ‘Skill Challenge’ game with fans during the second quarter, Lee Kwan-hee attracted attention by appearing as a partner with Yoo Si-eun, who also appeared in ‘Solo Hell’.At the beginning of the second half, coaches Kim Joo-seong and Cho Sang-hyun stood on the court in their uniforms, rekindling memories for old basketball fans and showing a different side to younger fans.

Coach Kim Joo-seong showed off his former skills by successively defending against his team’s player Kim Jong-gyu, but coach Cho Sang-hyeon, who played against LG’s Lee Kwan-hee, had to feel the weight of time as he repeatedly fell to the ground.It was a time of laughing and chatting, but in the 4th quarter, Jamil Warney (SK) and Didrick Lawson (DB)’s offensive power exploded, and the game turned serious. Even after the second half, the game was not decided at 118-118, so it went into overtime. lost.Thanks to Warney’s ‘one-man show’ in the All-Star Game overtime match held for the first time in 22 years since the 2001-2002 season, the ‘Gong-Aji Team’ won 135-128, and Warney, who scored 51 points, was 슬롯게이밍 selected as MVP.

Women’s Volleyball Hyundai Engineering & Construction is a team that firmly maintains first place, breaking the expectations of ‘Oh Woo-heung’ (Heungkuk Life Insurance will win anyway) even after the league has reached its halfway point.Hyundai Engineering & Construction won 3-0 in the Jeonggwanjang match held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 14th, and won 5 consecutive games with a 4th round win streak.Their win-loss record is the same as Heungkuk Life Insurance, with 18 wins and 5 losses, but they are far ahead in points, 55 to 50.

Lee Da-hyun (22), a built-in middle blocker for Hyundai Engineering & Construction who is also active as a member of the national team, cited ‘horizontal relationships’ as the secret.Lee Da-hyun, who scored 11 points including 3 blocking points in Jeonggwanjangjeon, said after the game, “Jeongkwanjang is a team with good offense, so I thought that if they caught a block or made an effective block, their momentum would be lost.” “We paid close attention and adjusted our positions in advance with defenders and combinations for each opposing attacker,” he explained.The important thing is that the players first prepared through conversation with each other.

Lee Da-hyeon said, “The preparation process for the game is done really well. Of the seven players playing in the game, more than half are young players. The sisters ask questions so that they can express their opinions in a horizontal relationship like friends,” and added, “Thanks to this system, communication goes well. “He introduced.Coach Kang Seong-hyung is also a leader who maintains a smooth relationship with the players.It is famous for being so informal that the players would high-five the coach with all their might as if they were hitting a spike.Lee Da-hyun said, “I think the reason this relationship was created was because of the director,” and defined, “If he cut us off in an authoritative way, we wouldn’t be able to talk, but he asks our opinion. The director is like a friend and father.”

So, Lee Da-hyun confidently said that Hyundai Engineering & Construction is currently at its best in history.He said, “This year’s atmosphere is the best since I joined,” and “I’m lucky to be able to play in this team atmosphere.”Hyundai Engineering & Construction is very determined to engrave the ‘third star’ on its uniform this season.

Lee Da-hyun said, “Maybe that’s why I was anxious when the winning streak was broken until last year. And even though I was in first place, I felt uninspired and the current ranking was not important. I think that if you are chased by the leaderboard, your heart is also chased.” “He confessed.Suwon Gymnasium, where the game was held on this day, sold all 3,831 seats, making it the 9th professional volleyball event to be sold out this season.As for Suwon Gymnasium, this is the first time this season.

Lee Da-hyun said, “I was excited because I heard before the game that it was sold out. I thought I was jealous when I saw the Incheon (Heungkuk Life Insurance) game was full. So I wondered why you didn’t come to Suwon.” He added, “It’s the weekend today, and there’s a fan signing event, so a lot of people came. “It was really good. I get excited when a lot of spectators come,” 카지노사이트킹 he said, expressing his gratitude.
