Professional basketball KGC, final 3rd place in William Jones Cup
Anyang KGC, led by head coach Kim Sang-sik, finished third at the 42nd William Jones Cup.
KGC lost 64-92 in the final match of the tournament against Taiwan A team at Huffing Gymnasium in Taipei, Taiwan, on the 20th.
With 6 wins and 2 losses, KGC finished third after UC Irvine (8 wins) in the U.S. and A team in Taiwan (7 wins and 1 loss).
It was difficult for KGC to operate its normal power on the same day amid a seven-game push for eight days.
Foreign player Duvon Maxwell was out of power due to back pain, and Choi Sung-won and Bae Byung-joon suffered minor injuries at the beginning of the tournament. On top of that, Brian Griffin also stepped down to the bench by sending a sign that he was not in good condition about 3 minutes and 30 seconds after the start of the first quarter. 토토사이트
The KGC, which had been doing well in the midst of unfavorable factors, fought equally 32-34 until the middle of the second quarter. However, he had difficulty blocking his opponent's twin towers, Xiangchun (2m5) and William Joseph (2m10) and finished the second quarter with a 36-50.
Since then, KGC, which has given up the lead, has evenly hired players with fewer chances to play and eventually lost by 28 points.
After the tournament, head coach Kim Sang-sik said, "The players were not in good condition due to the strong march. "I had no choice but to put the main players in the early stages, and after that, I tried to hire players evenly," he said adding, "The players did their best even though they were having a hard time."
"I was able to figure out the pros and cons of hiring players who didn't play much last season. "It was a competition that was a good study for all of us," he said adding, "We will prepare well for the new season by supplementing our shortcomings in the future."
