Teams on a roll despite low receiving efficiency...Grades don't come in the order of receiving

The most important factor in the field of V-League is "receiving efficiency." Receiving efficiency refers to the accurate portion of receiving (the ball is connected to the setter's three steps or less than one meter after receiving the opponent's serve) in the total number of receptions. The higher the efficiency of receiving, the more stable the setter can receive the ball, and the higher the quality of the toss to the striker.
At first glance, receiving efficiency seems to be a factor that is directly related to victory. Each team's head coach always emphasizes a strategy to use a target against an opponent team who is weak in receiving, or to change the target according to circumstances. Many players place importance on receiving to the extent that they are limited in utilization due to weak receiving.
However, he does not emphasize receiving as much as he did in the past on the global stage. This is because the speed and amount of change of the opponent's serve have increased, making it difficult to perform delicate receptions as in the past. Instead, he is emphasizing the movement of the setter, positioning of strikers, and speed of attack after receiving.
Such trend is also witnessed in the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League 메이저놀이터. The receiving efficiency and the ranking of the teams are not proportional. Through Tuesday, Hyundai Capital and Heungkuk Life Insurance, the leading men's and women's teams, ranked only 32.53 percent (5th) and 29.65 percent (4th), respectively. KB Insurance, the third-ranked men's team, and Jeong Kwan-jang, the third-ranked women's team, also ranked at 31.25 percent (6th) and 27.96 percent (5th), respectively.
These teams have one thing in common: they have top attack options and compliance setters. Even if accurate receiving is not achieved, the setter responds quickly and makes a high-quality toss, or the striker draws points with overwhelming height.
On the other hand, a number of teams remain in the bottom ranks despite high receiving efficiency. Korea Expressway Corporation, the women's team, ranked sixth after marking 34.37 percent (1st) in receiving efficiency, is a case in point. Nicolova (Bulgaria) and Tanacha (Thailand) are struggling to find a breakthrough.
As a result, the coaches of Hyundai Capital are focusing on other factors instead of focusing on receiving efficiency. "It is true that the basic premise of side out (acquiring sub rights) is good reception. However, we need a strong striker who can score even on poor receiving and set," said Philip Blanc, manager of Hyundai Capital.
"Receiving efficiency does not determine victory or defeat. Even if the receiving line is shaky, we can respond by replacing the players appropriately," said Jeong Kwan-jang and Ko Hee-jin, the coach. Kwon Young-min, a former setter of KEPCO, also said, "If there is a big striker who can handle unstable receiving and sets, the team's ups and downs will be reduced."
