Coach Cho Sang-hyun, who was chased by 24 points → 3 points, “I feel sick and upset”
“I think forgetting all 20 points is not enough as a coach, and it hurts my heart. It’s frustrating to ruin the game like that.”
Changwon LG defeated Daegu Korea Gas Corporation 69-64 in the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Professional Basketball home game held at Changwon Gymnasium on the 20th and recorded 19 wins and 12 losses, narrowing the gap with No. 1 Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation to 3 games. LG, who got away from 3 consecutive losses at home, rode the upward trend with 3 consecutive wins.
LG, who took the lead from the beginning of the game with Lee Jae-do and Yoon Won-sang’s consecutive goals, maintained a double-digit score throughout the second quarter, which started 22-10. In the middle of the 4th quarter, LG, which led by 62-38, 24 points, seemed to be getting a pleasant home victory after a long time.
However, due to a lack of concentration at the end of the game, they were chased by 3 points with 7 seconds left, and ended the game with difficulty calling the operation time.
LG coach Jo Sang-hyun said after the victory that day, “The players ran hard, and the players who entered played a good defense. I’m happy to win at home after a long time, but I’m embarrassed because I couldn’t finish well.” I hope to prepare more for the ability to read the game and know the flow even on the bench. I feel that forgetting all 20 points is not enough as a coach, and it hurts my heart. He is a professional who can appeal only when he finishes well. I am upset that he ruined the game like that,” expressing more regret than joy.
Gas Corporation’s 3-point shot went into the 20th attempt, and it was terribly sluggish.
Coach Cho Sang-hyun said, “We played hard on defense, but the opponent’s 3-point shot didn’t go through, so we played a low-scoring game. If the 3-point shot went in, it could have been a difficult game,” he said. “The first thing I ordered from the players was defense. Due to our composition, after defending, we ordered fast basketball. There are many orders from Lee Jae-do and Lee Kwan-hee. Seniors have to lead. I ask Lee Jae-do and Lee Kwan-hee to demonstrate responsibility and leadership on the court, and even foreign players follow suit, so it works.”
KOGAS coach Yoo Hoon said before the game that day, Asem Marey and Lee Kwan-hee scored more points against KOGAS than in other team matches. Marey grabbed 12 rebounds on the day, but scored only 4 points. The 4 points is Marey’s lowest score this season.
Director Cho Sang-hyun said, “I was sensitive to the whistle, so I asked him to restrain himself. During the double team, I wanted to see opportunities on the outskirts, but I was sensitive to the judgment, so I couldn’t be cool.” “Kim Jun-il and Cunningham are good, so we have other options. I can’t do well in every game, so I try to adjust the playing time when that happens,” recalled Marey’s play. 먹튀검증
Unlike the beginning of the season, Marey’s free throw success rate is gradually declining as the round goes on. At least it was over 50% until the 3rd round, but it was 47.8% (11/23) in the 4th round and 5 games.
Coach Cho Sang-hyun said, “I practice shooting every time. There is no reason to stress. He also practices with coach Kim Dong-woo.”
Seo Min-soo only played 3 minutes and 46 seconds that day. When asked about the ups and downs of Seo Min-soo, who returned from injury, director Jo Sang-hyun said, “I think I made a mistake in checking. It seems that the body condition is not 100% yet. not ups and downs I rested for 2-3 weeks and now it’s been a week since I worked out. Since my physical condition is not perfect, I think (how to use it) while increasing the playing time.”
