Game 3 of the championship game held after the "judgment controversy" in question. Fans who filled Cheonan Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium cheered unilaterally for Cheonan Hyundai Capital players with louder voices than ever. Hyundai Capital players also celebrated from the beginning of the game, encouraged the crowd to cheer, and played in an unusual attitude. That's how he won, and the atmosphere on the court changed strangely.

Hyundai Capital won a set score of 3-0 (25-16, 25-23, 26-24) shutdown in the third round of the men's championship match of the 2025-2026 Jin Air V-League against Incheon Korean Air at Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium in Cheonan on the 6th.

Hyundai Capital, which came down to its home Cheonan after two consecutive losses, was in evil. The 'video reading controversy' that determined the joy and sorrow after the second full set blood fight made it even more determined.

"As a person, anger comes to mind first in this situation," Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc, who still expressed great dissatisfaction with the second game decision before the game, said. "If it is eroded (by it), it will subside, but if used well, it will be a catalyst, which will be an opportunity to overcome at any cost." I will show my determination to overcome it somehow," he said.

Led by Leonardo Leiva Martinez (36, registered name Leo) and Huh Soo-bong (28), Hyundai Capital drove Korean Air hard. The team's attack success rate reached 65.38%. Leo showed a scary concentration to the extent that he made only one mistake, even though he scored 23 points, the most in both teams.

After the overwhelming victory, he said, "I think (the anger) became a catalyst," adding, "I think the most positive thing is that our players caught Korean Air through really good performance." Korean Air will also prepare with a new atmosphere and strategy, but I don't want to see it win in Cheonan. I will show you my victory in the next game," he said, expressing satisfaction.

The emotions of the players who played on the court were not much different. Leo, who was the main character of the serve at the center of the controversy in the second game, said of the decision at the time, "Didn't you see it. It's the way it is. "What do you think?" he asked back and confessed, "Honestly, I thought it was a person, but I felt it was stolen."

Heo Soo-bong also said, "As I played 36 regular league games and played the playoffs, the standard for local rules seems to have gone back and forth this season. There was one more video review at the winning point, and the in/out was split in almost the same situation. "I was embarrassed to see the opposite result against us," he said. "When I was in the stadium, I thought it might have been pushed back when I watched it on the electric display, but when it was over (video), I was sure it was in and local rule was in. It's a bit unfortunate. It's past, and the coach talked to the team and said, "Let's do our best using anger as a catalyst, and as a result, I think today's performance came out like this."

I couldn't sleep well. "I think I've replayed Leo's last sub video dozens of times. "After the game, I couldn't sleep fast because of the wake-up effect, but I couldn't sleep more that day," he said. "I was very shaken because I thought it was a really winning game, but the next day, I recovered my mental strength by continuing to exchange positive words with the players to do weight training."

Heo Soo-bong, who blocked in a tight situation of 22-22 in the third set, voluntarily confessed to the touchout. Although it was a situation that could be easily confirmed, it attracted attention because it could have cut off the flow through video reading. It felt like an expression of the will to win fair and square. Heo Soo-bong said, "I felt that (Im) Dong-hyuk was sure, so I expressed it and I thought I got hit too much," adding, "I thought it would be better to reorganize the flow quickly than to break the flow, so I sent a signal like that."

Now we are going to challenge the 0% chance. In the men's championship, 11 consecutive wins were made in the first and second games, and all of these teams won the final championship. After losing consecutive games, he won one game, but he is still at a disadvantage.

Nevertheless, Heo Soo-bong said, "The probability is 0%, but I think it can be said. As we showed in the playoffs, we are a Rivers specialist team. "I'll show you a reverse sweep as a game," he said, and Leo also said, "First of all, the most important thing is how much my physical strength will follow. I don't feel pressure at a moment like this, and I like the harder the game. I think I will win unconditionally," he said, expressing confidence.
