The next point may or may not decide the winning team.

If the next point is secured by the Seoul team, it will be the 4th match point in series for them in this final set.

But if the Daegu team scores the next point, they become the victors of today's match since both the teams had won 2 sets each already. The first and forth set were won by the Seoul team while the second and third set were won by the Daegu team.

This match was crucial to the Daegu team since it was an opportunity for that team to enter into the tournament's semifinals.

Seoul team had won a match with the Busan Team which led them to the semifinals already. So, this match won or lost by Seoul team wouldn't effect their entry into Semifinals.

Despite that, the Seoul team players were trying their best since they aimed not to let the Daegu team enter into the semifinals, as it was one of the best performing teams of the nation and could give them a tough fight if paired against each other, again in any upcoming matches in the tournament.

The whole stadium roared with audience cheering for their respective teams.

They suddenly fell silent with everyone keening on the ball up in the air which the Daegu team has just served.

The served ball flew towards the Seoul team and the team's libero received and volleyed the ball up for the setter to receive.

Even before the ball was received by his team's libero, the setter's sharp and quick gaze which observed the competitor team's positions, built up an immediate strategy and communicated it to his forward line players- the outside hitter, the opposite hitter and the middle blocker through signals.

As he received the ball from the libero, he looked at the opposite hitter and took a stance to pass the ball to him. The opposite hitter was also in a ready stance to receive the ball. But the setter passed the ball to the outside hitter instead, building confusion in the opponent's team who had deduced differently from their stances.

It was exactly the Seoul team setter's intention- to create a confusion in the Daegu team.

As the ball flew towards the outside hitter, he on reflex, jumped high up near the net and hit the ball with force trying to send it to Daegu team's floor with speed and accuracy.

But what they did not expect was the quick reflex of the Daegu team's opposite hitter who jumped up high blocking the ball and hitting it back, sending it past the Seoul team's middle blocker and outside hitters' hands, towards the floor.

The middle blocker and the outside hitter tried hard to block the ball and send it flying back to the Daegu team, but failed to do it. The Seoul team's libero slid down the floor trying to lift the ball up before it could hit the floor but missed the timing leading to a massive victory to the Daegu team.

The audience who were there to support the Daegu team cheered loudly chanting the Daegu team's name over and over.

Seokjin, the Seoul team's setter and captain left out a sad sigh. He then bent down helping the libero to stand up. He then clapped and cheered up the team who were down by spirits, by appreciating them for giving their best, even though internally he wasn't satisfied with the result of the match. He knew it was not his team's fault. He was to blame, for he had underestimated the Daegu team's reflexes.
