“I was surprised, but it was only part of the game.”

Jamil Warney (Seoul SK) looked back on the battle of nerves against Omari Spellman (Anyang KGC).

SK played the first leg of the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Professional Basketball Championship against Anyang KGC at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium at 7:00 pm on the 24th and won 77-69.

It is SK who sewed the first button well. Looking at all-time records, the probability of winning a team that won the first game of the championship game reached a whopping 72% (18 out of 25).

SK, which showed a strong aspect in the recent postseason opponents, continued its momentum.

Anyang KT&G, the predecessor of KGC, defeated SK with two consecutive victories in the 2007-2008 season 6 PO, but SK beat KGC 3 wins and 1 loss in the 2012-2013 season semi-final PO. In the most recent championship last season, SK won the final championship with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.

On this day in SK, ‘one-two punch’ Kim Seon-hyung and Jamil Warney led the team to victory while Choi Jun-yong was injured. Kim Seon-hyung scored 22 points and Jameel Warney scored 23 points. 

On the other hand, in KGC, Oh Se-geun scored 21 points and Omari Spellman scored 24 points, but they could not prevent the team from losing.

In the middle of the second quarter, Spellman made a provocative move toward Warney. After a timeout was declared, Spellman suddenly threw a ball at Warnie. In the process, Spellman even received a technical foul. The players and referees quickly stopped them.

KGC coach Kim Sang-sik explained, “Spellman was excited to give the ball to Warney. Warney and Spellman always run into this situation every time they play. I don’t think Warney likes to score.”

Warney was cool. Regarding this, he said, “We are close friends. I was surprised that it suddenly happened, but it was only part of the game.”토스카지노

On the other hand, Warney said about his impression of winning the game that day, “In the beginning, I needed to adjust my adaptability. I played with trust in my teammates. It gradually improved.”

At the same time, he also added thoughts about the goal of winning. He said, “To win, I need help around me. Just like how I was able to win the MVP because the players were good. The team started the season badly, but we got together and solved it. If we work together, I think we’ll get good results.” he said forcefully

Lastly, regarding Kim Seon-hyeong’s floater, which neutralized KGC, he praised him, saying, “This is Kim’s advantage. It is more efficient than sticking it with a rim, and it can be an easy shot. I’ve seen his floater improve. His shot is getting better.”
