The head coaches of Suwon KT and Changwon LG delivered a strong message to the players before the important match.
KT and LG will play the 4th game of the 2023-24 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Semi-Final (PO, 3 wins out of 5 games) held at Suwon KT Arena on the 22nd. Previously, LG recorded 2 wins and 1 loss, and if they win this game, they will advance to the championship game. If KT wins, the two teams will decide who will win the championship ticket in the 5th game to be held at Changwon Gym on the 24th.
Before the game, KT coach Song Young-jin said, “I told them not to hit each other and not lose. Just told me to keep my cool. If we are pushed there, the flow can go over. “We have to clash and overcome it together,” he said. “There will be a lot of fighting of atmosphere and spirit. “Even if there are some fouls, we shouldn’t lose in that area,” he stressed.
‘Ace’ Heo Hoon’s hip condition is not very good. Director Song Young-jin said, “It’s not good, but it’s okay. there is a problem. I feel like I can’t find my state. “I also had a meeting this morning, and it seems I’m not finding my balance or my previous state, rather than being sick,” he said.
Ha Yoon-gi performed poorly in the last 3rd game. Coach Song Young-jin said, “Overall, there is a feeling of being a bit more relaxed compared to the second game. “We need to be more mentally armed,” he said.

LG coach Cho Sang-hyeon said, “Except for the first game, the second and third games did not go well, not only for Hongseok, so we are playing at a score of 70 points. I asked (the players) to be confident in shooting, etc., which stems from Marey. KT also has a good defense, so they emphasized early offense. “We need to create opportunities for players to shoot comfortably,” he stressed.
KT made it through the PO semi-finals, but voices say that LG, who has been away for more than two weeks, does not have a physical advantage. However, coach Cho Sang-hyun said, “KT also has a wide rotation and it ended in the 4th game. Players recover in two days. “More than physical issues, the third game didn’t go in the direction I wanted,” he said.
Won-Sang Yoon led the team to victory by scoring a buzzer beater in the third game. Director Cho Sang-hyun said, “I feel sorry for Won-ganu a lot. I wasn’t able to use much when using (Yoo) Ki-sang as the starter. My friend prepares a lot. “Instead of saying I’m back, I think I’ve found my place,” he said with a laugh.
