“Monroe did a great job.”
Anyang KGC led the series with 2 wins and 1 loss, winning 81-70 in the 3rd game of the 2022-23 SKT Adot Professional Basketball Championshipㅋㅋㅋ벳 against Seoul SK held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 29th.
KGC coach Kim Sang-sik said after the game, “The offense didn’t work out well in the first half. Still, I was able to win by working well in the second half.”
KGC was once pushed back by 13 points, but the atmosphere changed after Darryl Monroe was put in. Regarding this, coach Kim said, “I was motivated to participate. I haven’t been able to run much in the meantime, but I was preparing well through individual training,” he said. In the first half, Monroe, and in the second half, Spellman showed himself.”
Defense as well as offense supported KGC’s victory. After giving SK 37 points in the first half, they reduced it to 33 points in the second half. In particular, in the 4th quarter, they did not give a single point with 5 minutes remaining. In particular, following the second game, the third game also perfectly blocked Kim Seon-hyung and Warney.
Coach Kim said, “The defense went well in the second half. Following the second game, I think it worked for me to block Kim Seon-hyung and Warney’s scoring this time as well.”
Meanwhile, in KGC, Byun Jun-hyung’s sluggishness continues throughout the championship match. Park Ji-hoon and Lens Abando are doing more than their share, so it’s not a big deal, but it’s quite worrisome that they’re not using the best weapons they have.
However, coach Kim said, “I just think that today was bad. (Park) Ji-hoon came in instead and did a great job. (Byeon) I will tell you a lot so that Junhyung can have confidence.”
