Changwon LG won three consecutive games despite Doo Kyung-min's absence.

LG beat Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang 82-75 in the home game of the KCC professional basketball regular league in the 2024-2025 season at Changwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 24th.

Asem Maray (14 points, 15 rebounds) and Yang Joon-seok (22 points, 9 assists) were active in LG, while Jeong In-deok (10 points, 6 rebounds) also helped.



Although Caddy Lahren (13 points, 8 rebounds) and Park Ji-hoon (15 points, 6 assists) struggled, Jeong Kwan-jang swallowed the anger by revealing his physical weakness in the second half of the match.

Jeong Kwan-jang and Kim Sang-sik, the head coach, are the virtue leaders. However, he spoke in a very strong tone before the game. "First of all, it's my fault. However, the players' transitions were too sloppy. This is why he was defeated in the last SK match. I edited the video clip and thoroughly reflected on it at the team meeting." Jeong Kwan-jang was completely defeated 71-95 in his first game of the season against SK. At that time, he was completely beaten in SK's transition.



LG's Doo Kyung-min was injured. It's a four-week total injury. It is a partial rupture of the thigh muscle. It's a bad news for power. For LG, neither Jeon Sung-hyun nor Doo Kyung-min, who were ambitiously brought this season, can come out. Jeon Sung-hyun is improving his condition in the D League.

 There was no gap between Doo Kyungmin! Yang Joon-seok scored 22 points. LG defeated the 82-75 Jeonggwanjang for the third consecutive victory. It comes from LG's strength, Yang Joon-seok, Yoo Ki-sang, and Jeong In-deok.

▶ First half



The articles of association made changes to the starting members. Jonghyun Lee and Asia Quarter Harvey Gomez came out as a starting member. He is the older brother of SK's Asian quarter Gomez.

Choi Sung-won and Jung Hyo-geun are waiting on the bench. It was a correction to the last economic slump.

The movement of the articles of association has changed. four points in a row. On the other hand, LG struggled under the pressure of the articles of association. The 24-second attack time limit was used, and the next attack was a mistake.

Jeong scored six points in a row in the beginning. Lahren showed good movement. LG cut the flow with Tamayo's three-point shot. However, Jeong Kwan-jang continued his momentum with consecutive goals by Park Ji-hoon and Gomez.

LG launched attacks around Tamayo and Maray's high-ro. Increasingly, the speed and pressure of the offense and defense were increased. However, the height of Lahren, Jonghyun Lee, Park Ji-hoon, and Gomez's three outer stores showed their power.

19-13, the lead of the articles of incorporation.

With 2:46 left in the first quarter, Lahren and Tamayo, who were engaged in a fierce under-the-goal struggle, collided. In the situation of Jeonggwanjang's quick attack, Lahren pushed first, and Tamayo responded. However, even in the previous situation, the two players had a fierce war of nerves. a double technical foul.

LG's defense was not smooth. Coach Cho Sang-hyun said before the game, `We were wary of the opponent's 3-point shooting and asked to fight for two points.' However, Jeong Kwan-jang led the game with a fast transition different from the SK match, followed by Lauren's under-the-goal attack and Gomez's three-point series. 26-19, ending the first quarter. Jeong Kwan-jang's performance was good, but the problem was Lahren's foul. Three fouls. I got into foul trouble early on.

Another problem with the articles of association is Michael Young, a two-option foreign player. There is no off-the-ball move. Team contribution drops sharply.

First attack in the second quarter, Maray's post-up option, successful. Jeong Kwan-jang's attack fell sharply in organicity. Young's activity was still not good.

However, LG made a lot of mistakes in the process of continuing Maray's post connection. The outside of the articles of association was still alive. Choi Sung-won hit a three-run homer. Still, the initiative was in the articles of association. At this time, Tamayo's under-the-goal breakthrough by early offens and Heo Il-young's mid jumper succeeded. Little by little, strong transitions and two-point shooting games began to come out as LG intended.

However, Jeong Kwan-jang had Park Ji-hoon and Choi Sung-won, who were awakened. Choi Sung-won's surprise three-point play and Park Ji-hoon's post-up made a three-point basket count play. It maintained a 36-30 six-point lead.

However, LG chased little by little. Heo Il-young's clean 3 points by perfect pattern, and Jeong Kwan-jang's team foul by Yang Joon-seok's witty breakthrough. He added a free throw score.

Michael Young drilled under the basket with an exquisite one-on-one technique, but Jung Kwan-jang's defense under the basket without Lahren was a problem. Yang Jun-seok easily breaks through the basket. Even Monroe breaks through Young's defense and a mid-jumper. In the end, it was 38-38, tied.

At this time, Heo Il-young flashed. He adjusted his zero with a mid-jumper mixed with a hedge, and even hit three points. LG's reversal, but the articles of association were also formidable. Jonghyun Lee's three-run throw passed through the rim during the attack time limit.

In the end, it ended with LG's lead by 45-43, two points.

The move of the articles of incorporation was different. Lahren was powerful and the height of the Jonghyun Lee was good. Three points by Harvey Gomez, Choi Sung-won and Park Ji-hoon were also good.

However, when Michael Young came in, the team's organicness dropped a little, and LG didn't miss the gap.

 There was no gap between Doo Kyungmin! Yang Joon-seok scored 22 points. LG defeated the 82-75 Jeonggwanjang for the third consecutive victory. It comes from LG's strength, Yang Joon-seok, Yoo Ki-sang, and Jeong In-deok.

▶ Second half

Yang Jun-seok's mid-jumper burst. Yang was at the crossroads of growth this season. First of all, it's quite good at the beginning of the season. There is room in a 2-2 attack. It creates an offensive path with exquisite techniques such as snake dribbling.

Even the game award was given a 3-pointer after a fake. However, Tamayo failed to score three consecutive points. Then, Young chased with a breakthrough under the basket.

After that, a fierce battle of four to six points.

At this time, the articles of association put in Lahren. After receiving Park Ji-hoon's three-point and Choi Sung-won's flare screen, he hit three points. Rather than LG's lack of defense, Jeong Kwan-jang's guard was in fairly good shooting condition.

Soon after, Bae Byung-joon's three-point step back corner burst, and Jeong Kwan-jang turned around again. 58-56.

LG's defense began to strengthen. I've maximized my activity. In the end, Yang Joon-seok's fast attack situation, foul, and free throw resulted in a reversal. Jeong Kwan-jang's on-screen attacker, foul, was declared.

From then on, the two teams began a fierce defensive battle. In the third quarter, it ended with a 59-59 tie.

The result is near.

In the fourth quarter, Lahren took the lead with a cool dunk.

As a team color, LG steadily failed Maray's one-on-one attack. However, Tamayo responded with a putback score by an offensive rebound. At this time, it was belatedly discovered that the rim was bent forward, perhaps because of the long hanging of Lahren.

In the end, the game was suspended for now. A variable has occurred. The rim is finely curved, and has not been restored. Eventually, another goal post in the gym was brought and newly installed. It takes about 20 minutes. The players' bodies cooled down, and the new goal was also a variable.

The game has resumed. LG started again with Jeong In-deok's three-point corner from the early offens. Jeong In-deok is very impressive this season. It is growing into the league's top 3&D. It exudes a force similar to KT's Han Hee-won.

Yang Joon-seok and Maray even made an exquisite 2-2 attack. On the other hand, the movement of the articles of association has slowed down overall. The accuracy of the under-the-goal breakthrough has declined.

The organic image is the decisive still. Fastball finish as Maray follows the trailer, 70-64, LG's lead by 6 points.

Bae Byung-joon's 3rd store is Airball. After the Weave action, LG scored three points after Yoo Ki-sang beat Markman with a fake. Jeong Kwan-jang's physical strength dropped sharply. Lahren misses a normal tip-in. Yang Joon-seok scored a decisive three-point game.

He widened the score to 76-64 with 3:51 left in the game, 12 points. The victory or defeat was decided here.

LG had many mistakes in the first half. The defensive system and activity remained, but the flow was cut off in attack. The 3-point shooting accuracy was also not good.

On the other hand, Jeong Kwan-jang's movement was completely different from the previous SK match. Lahren was powerful, and Park Ji-hoon, Choi Sung-won and Gomez's three-pointers were also accurate. They responded with strong pressure and transition.
