I read somewhere that the team that wins the first playoffs match goes on to play in the finals 100% of the time. So Lazareva got to play and if she doesn't then IBK won't win.
According to the reports below: KIM Woo-Jae stated that Lazareva recovered a lot now. He can't say that her back is perfect but she has been training continuously. Pyo Seung-Ju will also be starting despite suffering a minor ankle injury in their previous match. Hope she has recovered enough to handle the pressure from Heungkuk as Park Mi-Hee on V-League Women's Postseason Media Day stated that she will be targeting Seung-Ju.
And a reminder, the first playoffs match will start soon at 14:30 KST.
