(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok = Goyang Orion, a busy professional basketball player, fell into deep trouble over the foreign player, Devin Williams, who seldom contributes to the team’s abilities.

Orion barely beat Seoul SK 81-79 in the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball regular league away game held at the Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 4th.

Orion, who had a 15-point lead in the third quarter, gave 31 points in the fourth quarter only, allowing the pursuit to the bottom of the chin.

At the last minute, the team’s overall concentration was large, but Williams’ immersion in’Play Alone’ throughout the game also caught Orion’s ankle.

Williams focused on dribbles alone without using his teammates, and he also’randomly’ shooting.

Two points threw nine and put three, and three points, three thrown, and I couldn’t put any. The fielding success rate was only 25%. He scored 6 points this day.

Orion, one of the winners, recruited Williams in late January ahead of a fierce last-minute ranking fight.

A month has already passed since the first game was played on the 3rd of last month, but there are many evaluations that it has not yet been incorporated into the team tactics.

At a press conference after the match, all Orion players shared their regrets about Williams.

‘Captain’ Heo Il-young said, “Because Williams has a strong personality and a lot of pride, there are some parts that don’t admit (Coach Jin’s point).” It will be a plus for the team,” he said.

Han Ho-bin pointed out, “I haven’t figured out about Williams yet,” and “I have a strong personality so I tend to play only what I want.”

The most burning thing is Orion’s director Kang Eul-joon, who chose Williams.

Director Kang said that as Williams continued to appear, he recently went to the door of the dorm and handed a basket of fruit to encourage him.

Director Kang said, “Williams couldn’t even pay for fruit,” he criticized, saying, “KBL is a place where NBA players often fail, and Williams, who hasn’t even NBA, doesn’t seem to have tasted the hot yet.”

Coach Kang said that when he brought Williams to the bench that day, he showed a reaction that seemed to be very offended. “If a foreign player ignores Korean basketball, it feels very bad as a leader.”

Director Kang added, “This is not a Harlem basketball…” and added, “It seems there is a need to change our team in a way that suits Williams.”
