▶ First half




Samsung's Choi Sung-mo has been quite good lately. I could see the reason for this earlier in the day.

In a fast attack situation, Choi Sung-mo scored two points after a fake avoiding Tamayo's block shot. After that, he broke through the basket by 2 to 2 and gave up to Choi Hyun-min. The three-point open burst.

He is a fast player with good defense. There is room here. For Samsung this season, it is 'the best discovery'. The driving force behind Samsung's recent winning streak is Choi Sung-mo and Koo Sung-tae.




5-0 Samsung's lead.

Yang Joon-seok, LG's main ball handler this season, stopped the flow. After Sydneycher 2-2 this season, he easily succeeded in mid-jumper. For Samsung, Coburn's post-up option was blatant. It was also Samsung's inevitable choice because LG's outer defense was so solid. When the ball was put into Coburn, it was a triple team. LG's still. It led to two free throws by Tamayo's fastball.

Yang Joon-seok and Griffin's 2-2, Griffin's alley-oop layup, and then Samsung changed 'Gear'. Derrickson was put in place of Coburn. Lee Won-seok also came out. Derrickson's three-pointer, then Tamayo responded with two consecutive three-pointers.

This shows the power of Tamayo, the MVP of the first round in the third round of the Asian quarter. In the end, 18-8, LG's 10-point lead, Samsung's operational time.

Gutang hit a bold three-run shot by the early offens. It was a little too much, but it was a shot that Samsung could throw. The moment LG's one-sided rhythm is broken. It was a scene where the true value of Gutang's personal ability was seen at first glance. However, LG's defense completely blocked the transition of Samsung's small lineup under strong pressure. Samsung's offense in the set-offens was less efficient. LG's lead by 22-11, 11 points ended the first quarter.

In the second quarter, LG's attack suddenly became difficult. The process of making the shot was excellent, but the shot didn't go in. Jeong In-deok and Jeon Sung-hyun's shots turned away from the rim one after another.

Derrickson in place of Coburn. Samsung, which operated a small lineup, had an outer shot with Choi Sung-mo's three-point starting point as the spacing expanded. Lee Won-seok's shot under the basket eventually tied the score at 28-28.

However, LG targets Samsung's weakened goal without Lee Won-seok and Coburn. Footback score after Monroe grabbed an offensive rebound. Samsung's rise was cut off, and Tamayo hit a three-point game. In the end, 39-36, LG's lead ended the first half with a three-point difference

In the first half, Tamayo led the offense with 13 points. However, the 3-point shooting success rate was slightly sluggish at 37% (11 in 27 cities and provinces), and Samsung scored the most points in the team with 11 points, including 3 3-point shots by Choi Sung-mo. High-sensitivity 3-point shooting success rate of 47% across the team. However, it fell to 17-23 in the rebound.

▶ Second half

Coburn puts it back in the third quarter. Samsung's post-up option is the top priority when Coburn comes in. However, at the beginning of the season, Coburn's simple post-up was mostly caught in the opponent's defense. The efficiency has gone down to the extreme. It was a key cause of Samsung's sluggishness.

By the time Coburn settled down at the post, the opponent had already been prepared for the double team formation. It was like putting your head in a tiger's cave.

Samsung was also aware of this problem. Consequently, he misled the opponent team's defense by mixing "weave action" by handoff (a tactic he named several times as if he were weaving fabric) and "ghost action" (a move that passes by a defender of the main ball handler as if on a screen), and later created a three-point chance for Coburn's post-up or open outside. Alternatively, Lee Jung-hyun caught the ball as he came up to the top from the post and put the ball into Coburn.

However, LG was also aware of this method. Once Coburn had the ball in, there was an immediate double team, or triple team. Here, it seemed that there was also an order to intensively dedicate free throws to Coburn through fouls. Coburn's success rate in free throws is 65.7 percent.

LG had a problem with the attack. Samsung's Choi Sung-mo and Gutang raised their energy levels in defense. Since then, Gutang and Choi Sung-mo's three consecutive points have been scored. 52-45, Samsung's come-from-behind victory. LG's outfielder shot was frustrating. Yoo Ki-sang and Yang Joon-seok's lap pass miss came out in succession.

However, at the end of the third quarter, LG still showed concentration in defense. While Samsung's offense was sluggish, Yang Jun-seok's mid-jumper. And just as Jeong In-deok's three stepbacks turned into airballs, Gutang committed a foul. Let's pick two free throws. However, Samsung maintained its advantage in the battle of momentum when Lee Won-seok hit a buzzer-beater mid-jumper. 60-53, 7-point lead for Samsung.

The last four quarters. Yang Joon-seok finally quenched his thirst for three points. After chasing by 5 points and 2 points in a row, Choi Sung-mo scored 3 points. His shooting sense was at its peak. He was a strong candidate for this season's skills improvement.

Samsung reversely uses Coburn's double team. Conor Gutang's three-run shot went off again. As Samsung seemed to catch the flow, Tamayo showed his presence under the basket. a valuable two points. On top of that, Yang Joon-seok hit another three-run homer. LG's fierce chase again.

Samsung is Coburn's shot under the basket. However, Jeong In-deok's three-point corner, which did not explode in the first half, broke out. And Samsung's post-up to Coburn, however, was blocked by Samsung's intensive defense. Jeong In-deok again scored three points in the corner at the early offens. 71-70, made a comeback.

The result is near. Lee Jung-hyun's three-point game failed. Then, LG utilized Yang Jun-seok's signature. We've action. Yang Jun-seok's mid-jumper since then. However, Samsung's rise was substantial. At a desperate moment, Gutang hit a three-point corner. 73-73, tied.

There are two minutes and nine seconds left. Yang Joon-seok dominated the match. Side 2-2 Yang Jun-seok's superb pass to Tamayo. Tamayo went through the side floater, the rim. It was a foul of foul play, five fouls. Samsung asked for a video review, but Gutang's foul was sincere. LG's 76-73 lead.

Samsung's offense was not organized at the match point. Choi Sung-mo's error and Derrickson's three-point score failed. With 1:09 left, LG passed through the rim after the three-point game that received the screen hit the backboard. 79-73, six points clear. LG perfectly caught the victory. Samsung didn't give up. Lee Won-seok's three-point shot passed through the rim after being hit by a backboard, just like Yoo Ki-sang. LG's Operation Time.

With 31.3 seconds left before the end of the game, the game flashed. A tough three-point goal, checked by the defense, passed through the rim. It was a scene where you can see why the organic award is the best shooter of the next generation. It was a six-point difference again, a moment when the victory or defeat was actually decided.

However, with 18.9 seconds left before the end of the game, LG's organic image collapsed. I grabbed my right knee and collapsed for a while. Eventually, he was carried off on a stretcher.

LG's three-point game was particularly difficult on the day. He struggled until the third quarter. However, he strengthened his defense further in a desperate match. In the end, Jeong In-deok, Yang Joon-seok, and Yoo Ki-sang's three-point game ended in the fourth quarter.

LG without ASEM Maray has won four games in a row. In the end, it was a solid game that showed how scary a team with solid defense was in the regular league. However, the injury to the right knee in the game at the end of the game was worrisome.

In the absence of Maray, organic phase is an irreplaceable resource for LG in offense and defense.

Samsung's gust was real. Especially, Choi Sung-mo, Gutang, and Lee Won-seok were definitely scared. It was also impressive to see Coburn and Derrickson being dualized and active in rotation.
