Cho Sang-hyun, head coach of Changwon LG, expressed his honest feelings. Changwon LG lost 70 to 78 in the away game of the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' against Seoul SK at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 3rd. LG (21 wins and 14 losses) ended its winning streak at '7'. Jeon Sung-hyun and Asem Maray each scored 19 points to lead the team. However, LG collapsed at the most important moment and took the loss.
The game received great attention as a match between the first and second place in the league. The game was fierce. In the beginning, LG set the tone and dragged it, but SK chased fiercely and played a seesaw game. The victory or defeat was decided in the final quarter. The two teams fought fiercely for the victory. The game got hot. There were even two technical fouls in the fourth quarter alone. The game was played in a chaotic atmosphere. LG was pushed out of the back. He lost without reversing the atmosphere.

Coach Cho said 'bigger game' is none other than 's spring basketball'. This season's first and second-place teams will go straight to the semifinal playoff. The third- to sixth-ranked teams will decide their fate through the semi-final PO. LG is currently in a situation where it can go straight to the semifinals if it is ranked.
The regular league and PO are different. As PO is played in tournaments, each game is a final. A hot fingertip should be accompanied by a cold head. Cho hopes LG's young players will be able to maintain their composure even in close games. Some of LG's key players this season are rookies in the league's first to third years. Asian quarter player Carl Tamayo of Japan challenged the KBL stage for the first time this season. The `Ace' Yoo Ki-sang is in his second year, and the main guard Yang Joon-seok is in his third year. Coincidentally, all three players were born in 2001 and are very young.
Coach Cho said, `I tend to do a lot of 'push' to young players. Recently, I've been trying to give a lot of compliments. It's just a way of expression. I have expectations that young players can do better. If you try a little harder, you can go higher. In the end, the value of a player is to make it on his own."
