'Lock down the ace!'

The game plans of Changwon LG and Busan KCC, which will face off for the first time in the 2024-2025 season, are similar in a large framework. Apart from detailed attack and defensive tactics, the top priority that can lead the showdown to victory is, after all, 'opposition ace containment strategy'. The home team LG tries to block Dionte Burton, who joined KCC as much as possible. The away team KCC also planned to harass LG's formidable main scorer, Asem Marei.

The two teams will face off in the first round of '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' at Changwon Gymnasium at 7 p.m. on the 21st. Both teams won the opening game with a pleasant victory. In the opening game on the 19th, LG beat Daegu Korea Gas Corporation 70-67 and KCC also defeated Suwon KT, which was the championship match last season, 77-72 at home in Busan.



We met in the hope of winning back-to-back games. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin said, `After all, my homework is to defend Maray. We're short now, so we're the same against other teams. "There's a part that's missing from the right to provide, so we have to block it with rotation defense. Then our players can have a hard time physically, and the homework is how to overcome it.'

Jeon came out with a strong boxout and rotation defense to block Maray's rebound-induced offense and Maray's outstanding scoring ability.



In response, LG manager Cho Sang-hyun also mentioned the blockade of KCC ace Burton as the first. Cho spoke highly of Burton's skill. He said "It's hard to stop domestic players alone. So Maray came out with some defensive methods in addition to how to go deep into the help. There's John Defense, there's a way to change players in regular defensive situations"In the end, Burton and Heo Woong's one-two punch should make it difficult to score."," he stressed.

Director Cho then said, `I want to block the button with just one point""After joking, "I told the players that it would be successful if they stopped it at the 20-point level." Defensively, I'm thinking of a number of ways, but we'll see if it goes well.' It is expected that the 'Ace containment strategy' that LG and KCC prepared respectively will lead to an end.
