Frustrated LG coach Cho Sang-hyun in the championship game “I will come back stronger”
Pro basketball coach Changwon LG Changwon Jo Sang-hyun, whose championship match was frustrated, promised the next season.
LG lost 84-85 in the 2022-2023 SK Adot Pro Basketball quarterfinal playoff (PO 3 best-of-5) against Seoul SK held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 18th.
LG, which went directly to the PO of the semifinals in second place in the regular league, gave away the first and second games held at home and then lost the away game in the third game and collapsed.
LG suffered from the sluggish performance of Asem Marey, who left due to an injury at the end of the regular season.
Reggie Perry from the NBA was brought in, but time was not enough to adapt. He posted 17 points and 5 rebounds in the first game of the semifinals, and showed his power with 31 points and 13 rebounds in the second game, but on this day, he only scored 1 point by playing 10 minutes in the first quarter.
LG launched a counterattack with Dante Cunningham and Lee Jae-do at the fore, but it could not overcome SK, which put forward a combination of Jamil Warney and Kim Sun-hyung.
Coach Cho said after the game, “It was a season with a lot of expectations and worries. However, the players followed well. I want to say thank you to the players. Personally, I think I have achieved some results.” .
He added, “However, we couldn’t show good performance in the playoffs. I’m sorry to the fans who have been looking forward to it. I’ve confirmed what I need to prepare for next season. I’ll come back with a stronger team.”
Coach Cho, who said, “Completing the defense is the achievement,” said, “I have gained the strength to follow after being pushed by 20 points like today.” . 안전놀이터
