You shouldn’t be lazy” (Kim Sang-shik, KGC coach)
“Today we will have an all-out war” (Kim Seung-gi, Carrot coach)
Anyang KGC will play Goyang Carrot in the 2022-2023 professional basketball quarterfinal playoff game 2 held at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium on the 15th. meet
KGC faced a change this off-season온라인카지노. Head coach Kim Seung-gi, who previously led the team, left and appointed head coach Kim Sang-sik. Jeon Seong-hyeon (187cm, F) also left the team.
But there was no problem. From the start of the season to the end, he maintained first place and won the regular season championship. There were crises in the middle, but they all overcame them and showed the aspect of a strong team. They won not only the regular season but also the EASL and became the best team in East Asia.
He showed tremendous power in the first leg of the playoffs in the quarterfinals. They dominated the opponent from the first quarter and won by 56 points. This was the largest margin of victory in KBL history.
After a pleasant victory, KGC prepared for the second game. KGC coach Kim Sang-shik, whom we met before the game, said, “We prepared as usual. We won the first game big, but we don’t know what the game will be like. You shouldn’t be lazy just because you won big. Aside from winning a lot, we have a goal, so we have to focus more.”
He continued, “In terms of skills, the players are doing well. so i have nothing to say I just wanted to be strong mentally. I said from the beginning that I shouldn’t be loose,” he said, emphasizing his mental strength.
In the first game, KGC, the bench players, not the main players, did their part. In response, coach Kim said, “First of all, the player appointment is the same. The players who enter later are called sixth men, but all of those players are doing very well,” he praised the bench players.
Meanwhile, Carrot was newly created this season. Coach Kim Seung-gi was appointed as the first coach and the team was organized through trade. There, he recruited Jeon Seong-hyun and strengthened his power. Nevertheless, objectively, it was evaluated as a lower rank.
However, after one season, Carrot is no longer weak. Seonghyun Jeon has grown to the MVP level. Lee Jeong-hyeon (187cm, G) also had a great second-year season. Other players also did their part and led Carrot’s blast.
Carrot’s blast continued in the playoffs in the 6th round. Even in difficult circumstances, he caught the 4th and 5th games and advanced to the playoffs in the quarterfinals. However, in the first leg of the semifinal playoffs, they were unable to overcome the difference in power and suffered a crushing defeat. A situation where the atmosphere needs to be reversed through the second game.
Carrot coach Kim Seung-gi, whom we met before the game, said, “I thought it was not easy last time. We were in the worst condition and the opponent was in the best condition. So, I skipped the starting lineup and played the game. He also apologized to the fans. The 2nd game couldn’t be broken, so I tried to take a break from the 1st game and do an all-out battle in the 2nd game. Today, we will have an all-out war,” he foreshadowed an all-out war.
He continued, “But if it doesn’t work today, it shouldn’t be. (Laughs) The opponent has become a monster. We are a team in the making,” he added.
And, “Today (former) Seonghyun goes first. If it’s not good, I’ll take it out right away. However, if you can, you can digest full-time. Still, I will not make them run too much,” he said, announcing Jeon Seong-hyun’s selection.
Afterwards, coach Kim said, “Rather than winning, I try to play a fun game. I’m going to try to finish it today. Then, if you win, you can play number 2 in Goyang. But it won’t be easy. The players are too tired.”
