Busan KCC, which won the KBL Cup and the championship game last season, lost heavily to Suwon KT in the first game of the 2024 KBL Cup. It looked like it was not properly equipped yet.
KCC met KT 74-84 in the first round of Group B of the '2024 DB Insurance KBL CUP IN Jecheon' competition held at Jecheon Gymnasium at 2 p.m. on the 6th. New foreign player Dionte Burton showed good performance with 23 points-13 rebounds, and Heo Woong scored 20 points, including four three-point shots, but Lee Seung-hyun (4 points), Choi Jun-yong (5 points) and Tyler Davis (5 points) were sluggish.
After the match, KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin said, `Our players haven't practiced together much, so I thought about doing a lot of cup competitions as a practice""At the beginning of today, it was quite a poor job, and in the process of chasing, there were many aspects that should not be done." I think the players were sensitive about the referee. The contents of the game were not good in many ways. There were more disadvantages than advantages, but I think we need to fix them and play the next game and prepare for it."
"Domestic players should think twice about what they do with Burton. Burton also needs to be aware of and play in that area. Davis needs more time because his body is not complete yet. We have to lose weight by adding training to the regular league."
Finally, Jeon said "Anyway, we're not ready yet. It's a little different from last year. There is not much time left (until the regular league), but even if it is not possible through the cup game, we have to fix it. It is urgent to increase the physical strength of the main players in the game. We have to prepare by focusing on the main players in the cup competition."
