There is a complex problem. There is also a locker room issue.
This is the DB that won the Cup. He was considered a strong favorite. Not only the main player but also the backup member was outstanding. Last season, he ranked first in the regular league and advanced to the semifinals of the playoffs.
He was evaluated to have become more solid under the basket than last season. He caught all of Kim Jong-kyu Kang Sang-jae, who was released as an FA, and recruited the league's best big man, Chinanu Onuaku.
There was also regular league MVP and best player in the Asian quarter, Lee Sun-Albano.
Onuaku appeared to make a soft landing. He was a key player in winning the Cup. He also won the MVP award.
However, DB has lost four consecutive games since winning 88-83 in the opening match against Seoul Samsung on the 19th. In the gas construction match, he lost by 30 points, and suffered a shocking defeat to KCC without the weak Jeong Kwan-jang and the big three.
Albano's shooting balance was completely disrupted, and Onuaku was unable to exert power. DB manager Kim Joo-sung also said harsh words to Albano during operation time during the game.
In addition, Onuaku dropped the team chemistry with frequent errors, insincere-looking team play, and outspoken behavior with teammates. In particular, there was a scene where he seemed to ignore the coaching staff's words while sitting alone on the bench during operation time.
After four consecutive losses, rumors of Onuaku replacement were circulating in the basketball world.
However, so far, DB has no intention of replacing Onuaku. It is true that the atmosphere of DB's locker room is unstable. However, it is judged that 'seal' is possible.
