[점프볼=인천/최설 인터넷기자] “It was a game that didn’t go the way I wanted to, and I couldn’t.” Director Yoo-hoon, Pajang, dropped his head.
Incheon E-Land lost to 64-82 in the 3rd round confrontation with the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball Jeonju KCC held at the Incheon Samsan Gymnasium on the 1st of New Year’s Day in 2021.
The first quarter sluggishness (2-22) was too big. E-Land, which did not show such a reversal in the rest of the quarter, has regretted the first start of the new year.
E-Land also tried to win three consecutive games on January 1, but it ended in failure. In addition, it fell to 7th place after being pushed by Ulsan Hyundai Mobis, who recorded 13th loss (13th win) in the season and won the same day.
E-Land Jeon Hyun-woo scored 27 points (5 3-point shots) on this day and performed the best with a career-high score, but the team’s defeat was fading. On the other hand, KCC lightly hit E-Land with the even performance of Song Gyo-chang (19 points and 4 rebounds), Laguna (15 points, 12 rebounds), and Tyler Davis (15 points and 6 rebounds).
Coach Yoo-hoon Yoo, who met after the game, said, “It was a game that I had nothing to say as a manager.” “I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t play in the direction I wanted to. Isn’t it all my fault,” he expressed regret. E-Land showed the worst performance on two points in the first quarter of the match on this day, leaving a fault of being the least scored in one quarter.
In addition, coach Yoo said, “This is the part I want players to reflect on, too.” “(In today’s game) I used Kim Jong-nyeon as a starting member. This was because (Jung) Young-sam was not in normal physical condition. (Kim) I used retirement age because Nakhyun might feel physically burdened if Nakhyun took on the lead role from the beginning, but it didn’t work properly. I think the player did his best.”
However, despite the team’s defeat, Jeon Hyun-woo’s big success was great. Regarding this, “I think the same result as today came out from the efforts to actively engage in the attack despite the difficult situation. I think that if you play with more confidence, you will become a better player. He didn’t forget his advice, saying, “We have to take the ballless movement better and become a player who can play not only three points but also two points.”
Finally, as to the reason why the rookie Yang Jun-woo was not put in, “I made Lim Jun-soo and Yang Jae-hyuk play in the sense that the players who struggled in the off-season had more opportunities to have that opportunity. This is the conclusion I reached after consulting with the coaches.”
