Director Cho Dong-hyun of Hyundai Mobis who clarified the task. Ace Shaun Long + Strong Rotation + Complementing Pressure Weakness

The system is still solid. Han Ho-bin, who was recruited as an FA, is very solid in offense and defense. Park Moo-bin, Okzone, and Kim Ji-wan are also worth looking forward to. Lee Woo-suk is growing into an ace, while Shin Min-seok and Kim Kook-chan are making a lot of progress in defense.
Jang Jae-seok, Kim Jun-il, Ham Ji-hoon's big man rotation. Then there's Sean Long and Gage Prim, the best outsiders back in three years.
Hyundai Mobis' basic stance this season is its strong rotation, solid defense, and outstanding performance. Add transition.
However, the shortcomings are also clear. On the 14th, he was completely defeated 75-91 by B-League powerhouse Shinshu Brave Warriors in an open game at Japan's Chikuma Kotobuki Arena in Nagano.
Lack of solvers on the outside to solve the game in crisis, 2% of the core to lead the strong flow. I witnessed the shaking of Shaun Long and Prim that followed.
However, it is the achievement of the off-season training in Japan that it clarified the problems to be solved. At the end of the off-season training, I met Cho Dong-hyun, the head coach of Hyundai Mobis, at the Shinjuku Prince Hotel in Japan.
Cho was clear. He seems to be right that he should basically take the rotation more broadly. I agree with the lack of cores. The part that the coaching staff needs to solve is..."
When asked specifically about the nature of the rotation "First, the foreign player will take Sean Long as the center. Sean Long is a bit more ripe than he was three years ago. It has the power to solve the game. I'm not in 100% condition yet, but I can take on the role of ace of our team. But you're going to be active in both offense and defense?? If you play for more than 30 minutes, the efficiency will decrease. Depending on the opponent, the proportion of prim may increase."
In other words, Sean Long implied that beyond the main one option, he would play an ace, and Prim would give him 15-20 minutes of playing time depending on the opponent.
I was also curious about the division of roles for Jang Jae-seok, Kim Joon-il and Ham Ji-hoon. He added "Ham Ji-hoon will play the role of supporter. It's the end of his career, but he said to prepare thoroughly and play as in previous years this season. I think Jang Jae-seok and Kim Jun-il have improved their skills internally. Jang's defense is solid. Sean Long will order a defense he can't do when he plays together. Kim Jun-il will also use it with great importance."
In the case of Lee Woo-suk "It continues to grow. I've talked a bit more about the off the ball move, and as a main ball handler, I can also change my weight. Shin Min-seok and Kim Kook-chan have improved their defense a lot. Depending on the opponent team's situation, he said, "We can take more time to play."
The guards need to improve.
He said "Han Ho-bin is solid in offense and defense. However, something more than that is necessary for our team. Our guards are still vulnerable to opponent pressure and lack the power to lead strongly in the match. Park Moo-bin's physical strength is important, and Okzon is not in good condition yet. I hope that the players, including Kim Ji-wan, will lead the game more proactively. And we have to be more fierce against the opponent's pressure."
Hyundai Mobis is considered one of the best dark horses this season. It has built a strong rotation member. I'm wondering which of the 14 players should be removed from the entry. ??Therefore, internal competition is progressive and fierce.
