"You just have to make an opportunity to rebound." (DB director Kim Joo-sung)-"But today (the button) comes out." (Director Jeon Chang-jin of KCC)

Wonju DB and Busan KCC head coaches, who fell into an unexpected slump at the beginning of the season, wished the players well with a consistent mind. The winning team will lose three consecutive games, but if they lose, they will lose four consecutive games. However, both teams are currently in a very bad situation.

DB and KCC will enter the first round match of '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' at Wonju Gymnasium at 4 p.m. on the 27th. Both teams have been sluggish with three consecutive losses since their opening win.



The result is far different from what was expected before the season. DB won the cup competition ahead of the opening, showing the side of a strong team. Chinanu Onuaku, who newly joined the pattern of Lee Sun-bano leading the attack reliably in the front and scoring, formed a strong double post with Kim Jong-kyu. It seemed that if Kang Sang-jae, who is injured, joined, 'New Dongbu Fortress' could be built.

KCC, the winner of last season's championship game, was evaluated as creating a stronger power by recruiting Dionte Burton, who entered the NBA through the KBL. However, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong were already injured before the opening, and Tyler Davis, who was recruited as the second-ranked player, was forced out early because his physical condition did not rise. On top of that, even Heo Woong injured his knee against Changwon LG on the 21st and was declared rehabilitated for three weeks.



In the end, DB and KCC are experiencing an early crisis, losing three consecutive games, contrary to pre-season expectations.

In response, DB manager Kim Joo-sung "Kang Sang-jae is in a state of poor balance and condition as he returns for the first time in two months after his injury. But I think it can be good enough. Albano can also recover his condition. I want to use it more actively. Our outposts don't work, so we're being beaten by the opponent's defense that binds Albano, and we can get better in the future."



He then asked Onuaku to show a more heavy appearance. I'm talking briefly now, but when I have time, I try to solve the problem through personal interviews once again. "

Against this, coach Jeon Chang-jin expressed his frustration. Director Jeon said "The button is coming out today. I heard my ankle hurts, but I'm going to play because I'm wearing a uniform. "But I didn't practice yesterday, and I played for a while only in the morning. Feel heavy. I think the players are very different from before. Burton said he's been to the NBA, but I don't know if it's the NBA's style to not play if it hurts a little bit.

It means that the button 'injury appeal' is not well understood. When Burton complained of ankle pain, KCC took him to the hospital for a detailed examination, including an MRI. The doctor's opinion was "No problem, you can play in the game". But Burton missed practice, saying he was sick all the time. I'm sure I'm not in normal condition.

Coach Jeon said, `However, there is one thing I gained from the last Hyundai Mobis match. Jeon Jun-beom was always loose, but he showed good performance for the first time in a long time"Lee Seung-hyun is also doing well as much as he prepared hard. However, I'm worried that I might hit or get hurt while using Lee Seung-hyun too much. You have to adjust it at the beginning."
