'Seunggi Ball' and 'Taesul Ball' were definitely different.

Goyang Sono recently replaced its head coach. Kim Tae-sul, 40, was appointed instead of Kim Seung-ki.

We played two games after the A-match break. He has won two consecutive games. It lost to Wonju DB by 78 to 88, 10 points. There were no key guards Lee Jung-hyun and key big man Alan Williams.



Jung Hee-jae, Lee Jae-do, Choi Seung-wook and DJ Burns played for more than 30 minutes, while Lim Dong-seop (22:23), Kim Young-hoon (15:26), Kim Min-wook (11:58), and Kim Jin-yu (11:28).

Lee Jae-do scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and Burns scored 20 points and 10 rebounds. The game was not bad. In the absence of the team's one-two punch, it played a close game until the third quarter, and although it lost due to a lack of hindsight, the performance itself was impressive.



In the game against LG, they lost 78 to 86. Choi Seung-wook, Lee Jae-do, Jung Hee-jae, and Lim Dong-seop played more than 30 minutes, Alan Williams played 29 minutes and 5 seconds, DJ Burns 10 minutes and Kim Young-hoon 10 minutes and Kim Min-wook and Kim Jin-yu played about 6 minutes each.

Lee Jae-do scored 26 points, three rebounds, five assists, and Alan Williams scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, and Burns scored 11 points and three rebounds. They lost 78–86. LG is also without ASEM Maray. Coach Kim Tae-sul's first victory on his debut was expected, but he lost in the end.



Sono is a team with a dark color of 'Winning Ball'. 2-2 and 1-4 attacks based on strong activity. Fearless 3-pointers are key to the offense, and in defense, they maintain sharp momentum with strong pressure, double team, and transition.

Sono's basketball was both very aggressive and unconventional. It was 'High risk, high return'. In sharp momentum, Sono has been making gains.

'Taesulball' is a little different. He said, `I already have an idea right before I took office, but I think we'll know it at a moment's notice before we can materialize it""Sono's defense is very organized and aggressive. I wish I could fine-tune it with a defense that maintains the color but keeps it more. There is no fear in attack. It's a very good team color. However, Sono's success rate of 3-pointers this season is not good, emphasizing fearless 3-pointers. I want to adjust the shooting selection. I want to adjust the team system so that I can make second and third attacks as well as three-point shots at the early offens."

The efficiency of 3-pointers has improved. He recorded 34.6% in the game against LG, and 40% (14 successes in 35 cities and provinces) in the game against DB. The main route of the three-point shot was the pattern of set offens, as well as the ball input to two foreign players (Williams, Burns), the opponent's double team, and the resulting passout and open three points. This is why the success rate of 3-point shots has increased.

It's more stable. Even in defense, the frequency of strong activity and surprise traps has decreased. It's a positive part. However, there are also weaknesses.

In the second half against LG, Sono's simple pattern of attack was fully read by LG's defense. When the ball was put into Williams and Burns, the LG defense had already systematically settled down and defended itself to check the outside 3-pointers by double teams and subsequent passes. As the frequency of surprise double teams in defense decreased, the momentum of the explosive rise in sharp momentum and flow decreased slightly.
