Suwon KT, which was selected as the championship candidate this season but is having a cold winter due to continuous defeats, is aiming for a reversal of the atmosphere in Anyang KGC.
KT will play a match against Anyang KGC in the regular 2022-23 SKT A-Dot professional basketball league held at KT Sonicboom Arena in Suwon at 2:00 pm on the 17th.
KT, who ranked third in the regular league last season, was considered a favorite for the championship this season. Although there was a leak that the team’s signboard, Heo Hoon, enlisted in Sangmu, the overall organizational power was evaluated as the most organized.
As he lifted the championship cup in the cup competition, this kind of gaze was strengthened. Newly joined foreign player Jei Anoshike announced his league performance by becoming the MVP of the cup competition. At Media Day held ahead of the opening, most coaches evaluated KT as having the highest level of power.
However, when I opened the lid, a different situation was created. KT prepared a strong defense-oriented basketball, but it seems that the team color has not been properly established yet.
In particular, Landry Nnoko, who was recruited as a defensive center, is not living up to expectations. Anoshike has many ups and downs when he does well and when he doesn’t. Domestic players such as Yang Hong-seok and Jung Sung-woo are fighting hard, but the limits were clear. Coach Dong-cheol Seo also expressed regret over the sluggish performance of foreign players.
As a result, KT has fallen to the bottom (10th) with a record of 7 wins and 13 losses for the current season. Moreover, he suffered 4 consecutive losses in the early round of the first round and 5 consecutive losses in the latter half of the second round, completely losing his dignity as a championship candidate.
On the 10th, they escaped from a long 5-game losing streak against LG in Changwon, but lost again against Seoul SK on the 15th, and the good momentum was quickly cut off.
It is known that 토토사이트 KT eventually turned to replacing all two foreign players early. As soon as transfer agreements for new foreign players are issued, the club’s announcement is expected to come out.
With more than half of the season still left, KT is aiming to renew the team atmosphere by replacing foreign players early.
On this day, KGC, which KT is facing, won the runner-up in the championship match last season, and coach Kim Seung-gi and ace Jeon Seong-hyun were taken away by Goyang Carrot, so there were concerns about weakening their power.
However, Omari Spellman, Byun Jun-hyeong, and Moon Seong-gon made great strides, leading the team with a record of 15 wins and 6 losses. It is 2.5 games behind Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (12 wins and 8 losses) in second place.
However, recent trends are not good. On the 11th, it was caught by Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, and on the 15th, it lost to Jeonju KCC, losing for the second time in a row.
It is the first time in a month that KGC lost two consecutive losses this season against Seoul Samsung on the 10th of last month and Hyundai Mobis on the 16th.
KGC, which is highly dependent on key players, is experiencing difficulties as their power is exposed throughout the season, but it is inevitable to change their power to get out of the dark tunnel.
KGC, which lost the championship trophy right in front of its nose last season, needs to raise its mood as soon as possible by winning against KT in order to head to a higher place this season.
