Changwon LG vs. Seoul SK: A Battle of Basketball Powerhouses

A real battle will unfold between the home powerhouse and the away powerhouse.

The third round match between Changwon LG and Seoul SK will be held at Changwon Gymnasium on the 23rd. LG has the upper hand this season with 2 wins. LG, who are in second place with 16 wins and 6 losses, tied the record for the most consecutive wins (9 consecutive wins) for a team in one season for the first time. LG, showing its strength as a home field powerhouse, will break the team’s record for most consecutive wins if it defeats SK on this day.

SK, who are in third place (14 wins and 8 losses), two games behind LG, are also on the rise recently with four wins in a row. In addition, they are on a three-game winning streak on the road. Will SK, with a 60% away win rate, be able to close the gap on LG to one game?

LG coach Cho Sang-hyun said, “The next three games are important. With (Choi) Won-hyuk and (O) Jae-hyeon starting as starters, the defensive pressure is strong. I ordered several attacks in that area. “I hope we can solve the early offense or attack well in transition situations,” he began.

He continued, “I thought there would be a lot of pressure, so I sent (Justin) Goutang as the starter. Gutang is better than (Lee) Jae-do and (Yang) Jun-seok when it comes to getting over with the ball. “In the end, I think winning or losing today’s game depends on turnovers and turnovers,” he added.

LG had a break of 5 days after the last game. However, Director Cho expressed his concerns about this first.

“I’m worried that my condition and feeling for the game will drop after I take a break.” These are the words of director Cho Sang-hyeon.

Regarding new signing Juan Tello (204cm, C), “I hope Juan (Tello) only plays 2-3 minutes per quarter. It can vary depending on the game situation, but if the game is going in our favor, we can use it comfortably. “I’m still in the adjustment phase, so I only ordered simple things,” he said, and I went to the stadium.

SK coach Jeon Hee-cheol said, “We made changes to our defense different from the previous two games. The opponent plays a lot of 2v2, so I plan to play a switch defense. Teams facing LG don’t use a switch defense because of (Assem) Marey, but we’re going to try it for the first time. The defensive formation was changed, such as the direction in which shots and rebounds are allowed. So Marey will be able to score a lot of goals. The opponent’s attacking pattern is well established, their activity level is good, and their rebounding is first in the league. So, I plan to introduce defense changes from the start of the game,” he said, predicting defense changes.

Director Jeon continued to speak, “(Kim) Sun-hyung and (Oh) Se-geun are not in 100% condition yet. They must support the middle and the sixth man must do their part to create a sense of stability. However, there is a difference in play when the score gap widens and when the game is chased. (Jamil) When Warney is blocked, he becomes passive because his attack is blocked. “It comes out in the third quarter,” he said, pointing to the cause of the weakness in the third quarter.
