KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin, who is engaged in off-season training in Nagoya, Japan, said.
I met him at the Nagoya Tokyu Hotel, KCC's Japanese training camp.
He explained the team's dualization. It was a statement that considered both the present and the future of the team.
KCC has a number of issues. There was an offseason 'Huhm Incident', and Choi Jun-yong and Song Kyo-chang were injured. However, I prepared steadily.
In particular, DeYonte Burton and Tyler Davis, who have MVP-class skills, have been prepared for their second consecutive victory of the season.
Coach Jeon watched the Singapore game with Burton representing the G League. certainly a capable player." Burton entered Nagoya on the 16th and joined KCC.
He said of the usage of the button and Davis, "The button comes first, but depending on the opponent, you may use Tyler more. Still, the first option is button" Considering the skills of the button, if he uses it with Choi Joon-yong, Song Kyo-chang, Lee Seung-hyun, and Heo Ung, it will certainly be powerful. "We need a faster attack, and Lee Seung-hyun defends foreign players in defense, but I think we need a double team, and we are also considering special regional defense as an option."
It feels like he's already got some calculation in his head. He added "Tyler weighs about 140 kilograms. Due to symptoms of enteritis, he was unable to participate in Nagoya training. He laughs, "I have a headache" but needs to lose about 10kg, and he is a player with enough skills. I changed my mind when I played for KCC in the past. In fact, there were many outside plays at that time because of their greed to advance to the NBA. There was also a collision with me. However, I am well aware of the solid play under the basket, the solidity of the defense, and the play that I can play well and have to limit myself. He said that he already had the concept of early offens.
KCC has a good experience with Davis. At the time, Jeon made full use of Davis's one-on-one attack under the basket, and also made good use of the second break based on strong transition. It meant Davis was well aware of the system.
I was also curious about the injury status of Choi Joon-yong and Song Kyo-chang.
He said "Choi Jun-yong is definitely serious about basketball. The hamstring injury is mild. I did my best in off-season training. However, the problem is that they always do their best to the extent that they are unreasonable in every game. The injury also occurred during the practice game. "I emphasized to Choi Jun-yong once again what I should do with all my strength and what I should do without any strength even after I was injured."
As for Song Kyo-chang "I re-opened my previous dislocated hand. The finger needs to be fixed. Because of this, the key is how the shooting will feel. However, since he is left-handed, he is not expected to have a significant impact on his shooting sense. He is focusing on rehabilitation with the goal of making a comeback in November. I'll be back without any problems during the season."
There have been many cases, but I'm working on basketball. I made a body that can run for about 20 minutes.'
