Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang, who is at the bottom with 7 wins and 20 losses, is in the quagmire of nine consecutive losses.

Coach Kim Sang-sik, who entered the official interview room after the game, said, `Alexander, the second option, cannot play properly. Just before recruiting Alexander, he was reported to be targeting two other teams. He also figured out that Alexander played until a month ago. By the way, I can't run properly now. A situation in which the injury is suspected..."

The letter of the articles of association said, "Caddie Lahren is also below expectations. He is passive in defense as well as offense. Scenes such as `Tae-Jae-Sung Play' often appear. The poor performance of foreign players, who account for 50% of their power, is a direct blow to the team's performance.




KCC has a Dionte Burton dilemma. There are many ups and downs. The former strong activity has disappeared. KCC is trying to replace foreign players, but they have only one replacement right. The articles of association also only have one replacement right. There are no players to bring to the foreign player market yet. To rebound, it is essential to replace foreign players, but if you do it wrong, this season itself could be ruined.

Changwon LG lost consecutive games due to Asem Maray's injury. Team power again, but again Maray's injury to the four weeks before his fascia injury. We quickly brought in an alternative foreign player, Griffin. Griffin isn't very good, but it's the best option for now.

Goyang Sono, Seoul Samsung, and Suwon KT also played once in the supply and demand of foreign players. This season alone, as many as six teams are foreign players, facing a severe crisis in team management.




The core of the problem is the current system. 2 foreign players, 1 participant. The Salilacap is $800,000. You have to pay at least $500,000 and up to $600,000 to bring in a top-rated player. Two-option foreign players must bear the disadvantage of lowering their skills. Even if you spend $600,000, there is no guarantee that you will bring in a special player.

As the CBA (Chinese Professional League) B League (Japan Professional League) took foreign players with high salaries, the number of players who could come to the KBL became more limited. In addition, even if you bring them for $600,000, you have to give them a full guarantee. It is a condition that compensates for a season's salary even if he cannot play due to injuries.

In short, the current system has severe side effects. This is a problem that occurs every season. It is not a difficulty that only some of the 10 clubs experience, but a problem that at least half, or more, clubs experience. However, KBL is still on a downward level.




Due to the current foreign player system, the overall quality of the game itself is poor. At this point, SK in Seoul, Hyundai Mobis in Ulsan, KT in Suwon, Korea Gas Corporation in Daegu, and Wonju DB are the teams that are showing normal power. All four lower-ranked teams are hampered by foreign players.

Of course, the competitiveness of the league and the quality of the game are poor. Eventually, basketball fans are harmed.

What I don't understand is the KBL board of directors, which consists of 10 club heads and senior KBL leaders. It is the only body that can fix the system.

He shouts 'Basketball Development' but remains silent about the foreign player system, which can be the most urgent and practical measure. Damage is continuing in the field, but no one is saying 'reform the foreign player system'.
