It was eliminated by Busan KCC, who built strong wingman resources in the semifinals, with one win and three losses, but DB's power remains intact. DB caught Kang Sang-jae and Kim Jong-kyu, the main pillars of the team, who were released as FA.
The contract with Didrick Lawson failed. It seemed to be shaking. However, in the short term, a more powerful post card was needed.
In the end, I chose Chinanu Onuaku. There was also anxiety. Lawson, who was the league's best all-around player, maximized the power of Kang Sang-jae and Kim Jong-kyu last season. It made the DB's sticky color darker, and created numerous attack routes.
Onuaku proved his dominance under the basket at Goyang Sono last season. However, there was a unique personality and discord with the team members. However, the DB wanted a winning team, mentioning whether Kang Sang-jae and Kim Jong-kyu signed at the time of Onuaku's contract. I highly value this initiative. I expect him to adapt well to the team.
In other words, the main 1 option has changed from Lawson to Onuaku. The gains and losses must be determined.
▶Under-the-Ball dominance ▶ Kang Sang-jae Kim Jong-kyu and harmony ▶ Lee Seon-bano's teamwork is key.
Japan's off-season training is the first stage. First of all, it's a passing point.
Onuaku showed a clear competitive edge under the basket in the match against Tokushima, the third-division of the Japanese B League, on the 17th. Albano and the 2-2 attack are quite powerful.
The role sharing with Kang Sang-jae inside and outside, and the double post with Kim Jong-kyu were not bad either.
The basic start of the DB attack is placing two players in the corner. Maximize space in the middle. The two-to-two of Ethan Albano and Chinanu Onuaku are basic.
Last season's regular league MVP, Albano is not only the best player in the Asian quarter, but one of the best guards in the league. It has excellent technique and shooting ability. The combination with Onuaku could be the league's top one-two punch.
In addition, Kang Sang-jae, who played MVP-class. It is a versatile wingman resource with accurate outside shots, sharp cut-ins, under-the-basket shots by postplay, and midjumper.
That is, as Albano and Onuaku's two-to-two become 'bait', Kang Sang-jae's post-up option or cut-in option can be added. If Kang Sang-jae goes under the goal, Onuaku, whose three-point shooting ability has been upgraded, balances the court on the outside.
In other words, while using double and triple posts, mobility, activity, and spacing, which are bound to be 'concerned', are drawn to some extent 'SOLVED'.
In fact, Kang Sang-jae Kim Jong-kyu, Onuaku, and Albano caught both height and speed in two practice games against Tokushima at Osaka Sports Science University in Japan.
Although Onuaku's poor selection's frequency of outside shots was high, and his weakness in breathing was seen in the 2-2 defense, it was not a problem with the triple system. It was a part that could be sufficiently solved if we worked together.
Not as colorful as Lawson's synergy. However, the basic transition can be stronger, and the core power of Kang Sang-jae, Albano, and Onuaku can be stronger than last season.
