The top official salary is KT Moon Sung-gon. It is 750 million won. It's an injury. In second place is DB Kang Sang-jae (700 million won). He was injured during a game against KT in Wonju on the 22nd.
It's a calf injury. It's going to be scrutinized, but it's unusual. A muscle rupture is suspected.
There is also Heo Hoon (KT). He is tied for second in annual salary with Kang Sang-jae. a chronic wrist injury. And during the rehabilitation process, the return was further delayed due to an injury to the soles of the feet. It is expected to take at least two weeks.
Kim Jong-kyu (600 million won) is tied for fourth place. I got a bone bruise in my knee. It is still impossible to predict the return time.
Choi Jun-yong, tied for fourth, suffered a thigh injury before the season and has recently been injured again. Lee Dae-sung, who is also ranked fourth, was out of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury before the season.
Song Kyo-chang, who receives 560 million won, also suffered a long-term injury due to reoperation of his fingers before the season. He returned to the game, but was immediately closed due to injury.
LG Jeon Sung-hyun (550 million won) is also repeating his participation and absence.
The KBL landscape has completely changed due to the ace players' line injuries.
Seoul SK, which was pointed out as a dark horse, is in first place with 14 wins and 5 losses, while Ulsan Hyundai Mobis is in second place with 14 wins and 6 losses.
Moreover, Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, which was the dark horse in the round of six, came in third with 12 wins and eight losses. On the other hand, Wonju DB (10 wins and 11 losses) and Busan KCC (9 wins and 11 losses), which were considered the favorites, fell to sixth and seventh places, respectively. Seoul Samsung, which predicted Lee Dae-sung as the ace, is the lowest (6 wins and 14 losses).
In a word, it is chaos itself. Of course, the time for the aces to return is approaching after the round. The game could fluctuate again. However, this season, when transition and defensive activity are the most important, if the ace's condition is less than 100%, he is at a turning point where he may fall as it is. In fact, in the early days of the regular league, there are many cases where the ace's joining did not leave a big impact.
Why does this happen.
An expert said, `We have something in common with SK, Hyundai Mobis and Korea Gas Corporation, which are at the top. They prepared very thoroughly for off-season training. As a result, he was able to continue the sensation while minimizing injury loss of key players. SK's main players, including Kim Sun-hyung, Ahn Young-joon and Oh Se-geun, strongly performed 'Hell's 8 Week Training', while Hyundai Mobis and Gas Corporation also endured fairly high-intensity off-season training, led by young newcomers.
On the other hand, KT, LG, DB, and KCC, which were considered strong players, faced the season without properly performing team training due to injuries and departures of ace players.
Another expert reminded him that the hard call tendency to emphasize first-round physical fights requires more off-season training. No matter how good they are, if their physical strength is not supported by strong transitions and thorough defense, the ace's contribution to the team will inevitably decrease. "Some teams' aces did not properly train in the offseason. In addition, it is true that there are ace players who prioritize their skills rather than team first. In the future, there is a high possibility that the team will be prioritized in FA large-scale contracts, and that consideration of durability will be made more thoroughly."
