Kim Hyo-beom, manager of Seoul Samsung, had to let out a sigh. It was to alert Samsung players that they should work hard to develop their individual skills.
Samsung, led by head coach Kim, lost 63-72 in an away game against Suwon KT in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Suwon KT Sonic Boom Arena on the 20th, losing for the second consecutive opening game.
Samsung lost its head start from the first quarter of the day and was dragged throughout the game except for a brief tie chase until the end of the game.
Coach Kim, who responded to the interview after the game, couldn't open his mouth for a while when asked about the general review of the game. He opened his mouth belatedly and said "I missed too many easy shots. The fielding rate is in the late 30% range, and I think I missed four or five layups. It feels like deja vu, just like last year." He expressed disappointment with his performance that did not stick to the basics.
He then said "I also told the players today. 'Who's to blame… It's your personal ability that you can't score a layup, is this your ability. "Personally, I said, 'Improve it.'" He lamented the players' ability.
On the other hand, KT seems to have envied that there is a solver called Heo Hoon. Coach Kim said, `I think we did a good job of blocking the opponent's mercenaries Hammonds and Tillman today. However, in the first half, Huh Hoon shot a middle shot with an early offense and played to break the pattern, serving as a vitality. That's the difference. Someone doesn't do it for me. If only he had an easy shot in the first half, it would have been worth it in the second half"I couldn't hide my regret.
