Yang Jun-seok proved his worth. LG ran a 6-game winning streak at home.
Changwon LG won 85-68 in a home game against 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Professional Basketball Goyang Carrot held at Changwon Gymnasium on the 17th. LG tasted its 28th victory (15 losses) along with 6 home wins in a row with this victory. Carrot suffered his 20th loss (21 wins) of the season.
LG scored double digits with five players. Among them, Yang Jun-seok stood out the most. Yang Jun-seok, who gradually raised his sense of the game, took the lead in the team’s victory by recording 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists that day. It proves that it is worth being selected in the first place.
Dante Cunningham (16 points, 11 rebounds), Lee Jae-do (13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists), Kim Jun-il (13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists), and Yoon Won-sang (11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists) also scored in double digits.
Carrot has been down on his 3-point shooting accuracy (5 of 25) and is down 27-of-47 in rebounding. Jeon Seong-hyun (19 points, 2 rebounds, 3 3-point shots) and Kim Jin-yong (14 points, 2 rebounds) fought hard. The total score of the two foreign players was 13 points, so it was an even harder game to win.
Prior to the match, LG coach Cho Sang-hyun said, “I asked the players to forget the previous game and play the basics. I lost about 20 rebounds in the match against KGC Ginseng Corporation. Such a game should not come out,” he emphasized the rebound.
LG averaged 6 more rebounds (39.8-33.8) against Carrot. Considering this, it could have been an understatement. However, LG had a rebound advantage of 4.3 (36.8-32.5) in the confrontation with KGC Ginseng Corporation until the 4th round, but it was 17 inferior (30-47) in the match against KGC Ginseng Corporation on the 15th.
Director Cho Sang-hyun’s worries were unfounded. LG grabbed twice as many rebounds as Carrot at 24-11 until the first half. Connecting the rebound advantage and Carrot’s mistake with a quick break, he took a 46-36, 10-point lead in the first half. In particular, they trailed 26-29 with 5 minutes and 55 seconds left in the second quarter, but took the lead in the game by driving 20 points and giving up only 7 points during the remaining time.
Carrot threw an average of 35.3 3-pointers before the game and made an average of 12.3. He threw 259 more three-pointers than KGC Ginseng Corporation, who played three more games, and attempted twice as many three-pointers as DB’s 773, which had the fewest three-point attempts.
Carrot threw only eight 3-pointers in the first half. He was only half as tall as usual. He showed potential for more 3-pointers in the third quarter. A 3-point shot could overturn the 10-point gap.
Jeon Seong-hyun, who had scored 7 points until the first half, scored 7 points in 1 minute and 59 seconds with the start of the 3rd quarter. Even Kim Jin-yong, who stood at the center of Carrot’s scoring until the first half, added to the score. Carrot turned the game back to square one, 48-48, with 6 minutes and 11 seconds left.
Carrot also lost his concentration from this moment, just like in the second quarter. He conceded a lot of points under the goal after getting a 3-point shot from Yoon Won-sang and getting hit. Carrot, who failed to reverse, lost the flow to LG again. 먹튀검증
LG took the initiative again by continuously tapping Carrot’s weakness, the bottom of the goal, even with a particularly inaccurate free throw. This trend continued into the 4th quarter. With 6 minutes and 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter, they ran away to a 73-59, 14-point gap.
Carrot called the key players to the bench one by one over the middle of the fourth quarter.
With 1 minute and 59 seconds left, LG actually confirmed the victory by widening the gap to 83-66, 17 points with Jeong In-deok’s 3-point shot.
