DB tries to get on the winning streak again by sacrificing LG.
Wonju DB Promy will play against the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Changwon LG Falcons in the second round at the Wonju General Stadium on the 2nd.
DB is currently in first place with 14 wins and 2 losses. If DB wants to advance further, it will have to beat LG on this day.
DB coach Kim Joo-sung said: "LG's form has been on the rise lately, ranking first and second in the main record. Their defense is also good. I think they're going to score less. I think the key is rebounding. If it's 3 points, "I think we'll split the winner." We can't give up a lot of rebounds to Marley. We prepared the pressure defense yesterday through training. We will send Kim Young-hyun and Choi. Seungwook starts," he warned.
DB's opponent on this day, LG team, foreign player Dante Cunningham was absent due to injury, but Assem Mare showed good performances under the goal every day. For DB to achieve victory on this day, the blockade of Mare is absolutely necessary.
Coach Kim said, "We need to reduce the number of three-point shots allowed by Maray. We will inevitably allow them, but we will focus on Mare. If the opponent is shooting around 50 percent, we need to be good at grabbing rebounds when we miss the ball. ”
DB is consolidating the number one spot with the trio of Lawson, Sangjae Kang and Jonggyu Kim on track. However, the opponent LG is also a team with many tall players such as Ma Lei, Park Jung-hyun, and Yang Hong-seok.
Coach Kim Joo-sung said, "We have prepared about three lineups, including the starting lineup. This will vary depending on the opponent. If I'm going to play a lot, I think Vesey will play a lot compared to other games. Although Lawson has not been good at defending behind goal, he has played a lot of games. "It's also about improving his form. If Vesey had done well against Mare today, I would have him play for a long time. It's an important game. He said.
On the other hand, regarding Do Kyung-min, who checked his status through the Development League, Coach Kim said, "He trained well in the second team. However, after the last Development League game, he said his back was not so good. "Said his back was also stiff this morning, so he rested. "Yes. I think I need to look closer," he said.
