[OSEN=수원, 고성환 기자] “Choi Jun-yong is my ultimate weapon.”
Suwon KT Sonic Boom and Busan KCC Egis will play the 5th game of the 2023-2024 Cheong Kwan-Jang Professional Basketball Tournament (best of 7 games) season at Suwon KT Arena at 6pm on the 5th.
In the 5th game played at home again, KT must win. KT, who lost 73-90 in the first game, tied the game with 101-97 in the second game. Since then, they have lost both of their away games in Busan and are down 1-3. If they lose this game too, the championship will go to KCC. To win the first championship in the club’s history, we must win at all costs.
If KCC wins this match, it will get its 6th win in 13 years. This is the first win for the 5th place team in the regular season. Looking at past championship games, the probability of winning was 100% (10/10 times) when a team recorded 3 wins and 1 loss. The future is unknown, but history is on KCC’s side.
KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin has only one benefit from winning the tournament. He said, “Mental strength is the most important thing. Since we have already faced each other more than 10 times, we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We also talked quickly about the offensive and defensive aspects , but we talked about the bigger side of the mind.” He said, “Don’t be greedy, be selfish, and take your time slowly.
KCC chose a strategy of not actively blocking Moon Seong-gon in the last 4th game. Coach Jeon Chang-jin laughed and said, “I’m not throwing Moon Seong-gon away,” and then he said, “It’s not easy because the opponent has two aces.” So, I just do it in a modified way. You shouldn’t say that you are completely throwing Moon Seong-gon away. “
He continued, “The change in defense is because there is a disadvantage in a 5-on-5 fight. If there is no handicap, we will play 5-on-5 normally. Moon Seong-gon scored 3 in the first game, widening the score gap.
Will there be major changes in defense? Coach Jeon Chang-jin said, “I always promise to defend against Heo Hoon. I hope I don’t let him be in a situation where he is broken through the midline. Also, since I have high confidence in 3 -point shots, I have to check. I asked him to take responsibility for 3-point defense.” Bath He seems to adapt well against . game, but Lee Seung-hyun, Johnson and Choi Jun-yong paint a picture of being block it step by step.”
Choi Jun-yong, who played well in Game 4, will not start. Coach Jeon Chang-jin said, “As a coach, I have a personal iron rule. Until now, as a coach, I have always chosen to use my weapons last. In the end, I was thought Lee Ho-hyun’s position improved as he played well, so I put him in as a starter.
Choi Jun-yong is expected to be coach Jeon Chang-jin’s secret weapon. He said, “Choi Jun-yong is my ultimate sword. If Jun-yong does well even without Jun-yong, his strength will be doubled in the future. Players these days are conscious of selection. But I spoke to Jun-yong well. He said he would follow suit. When Jun-yong goes in.”
In addition, coach Jeon Chang-jin said, “Junyong is the biggest weapon for me. I decided that way. Now that his situation has improved, I believe to play more consistently. The most important thing is to have fun playing basketball and score well,” he said strongly.
He remained silent on the final MVP question. Coach Jeon Chang-jin said, “It’s hard to say now. There is no guarantee that we will win today. Anyway, the MVP will come from the winning team. After the series be over, I will be able to express my opinion with confidence.”
