[벤치명암] Orion coach Eul-jun Kang announces foreign player replacement

[점프볼=울산/이재범 기자] “I think I have to keep everything open and make a difference. In the current situation, foreign players cannot be changed, but we have plans to change them.”

Goyang Orion lost 85-86 in the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball Ulsan Hyundai Mobis away game held at the Ulsan Dongcheon Gymnasium on the 24th. Orion, who fell in two consecutive losses, remained in third place, recording 18-14. If he won that day, he could have risen to second place alone, but it is 1.5 games behind second place Hyundai Mobis.

It was a disappointing defeat. Orion finished the first quarter with 22-14 with Didrick Lawson, who scored 16 points in the first quarter alone. Orion, who was reversed by giving Jang Jae-seok 15 points in the second quarter, was dragged by a 15-point gap in the middle of the third quarter.

From this point on, the chase started. Lee Dae-sung led the scoring with a 3-point shot and a quick attack. Orion, who reversed with Lawson’s 3-point shot with 5 minutes and 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter, couldn’t get past the last hurdle. With 34.1 seconds left, they conceded against Sean Long, and fell behind 85-86.

Lawson got a free throw with 8.8 seconds left, but all failed and collapsed by one point.

After finishing the game, Orion, Kang Eul-joon said, “It was a game that followed (from the flow that was drawn) because of a change of players (starting). We are a team where domestic players score a lot. Lawson also played his part, but his power was weak and he was pushed down the corner by Sean Long. It would have been more fun if it had been defended under the goal,” Pain explained.

Lawson scored 33 points and 13 rebounds and 3 assists, but Jeff Withy only scored 3 points and 2 rebounds.

Director Eul-joon Kang said, “I think I have to keep everything open and make a difference. Lee Seung-hyun is also tired. “The strength of the domestic players is great that we have come so far.” “Under the current situation, we cannot change foreign players at will, but we have plans to change them. Both can be (replaced). A team with a strong defense has an advantage at the end of the season. It is difficult for us to give an easy score from a foreign player,” suggesting that even Lawson could be a substitute.

Overtime was possible if Lawson had put in at least one of his last free throws.

Director Eul-jun Kang said, “How many would you like to include that friend? So is talking. If you put it in, I would have been grateful.”

Orion lost 90-92 in a confrontation with the previous Wonju DB. Two consecutive games were defeated within two points.

Coach Eul-jun Kang said, “Domestic players are tired in the second half because they have a lot of time to play. It covers up to the share of foreign players and physical fitness problems appear.” When it’s difficult, you have to get two points in the post, but it’s unfortunate that it consumes more physical strength.”

Lee Dae-sung, who scored no goals until the middle of the third quarter, scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Director Kang Eul-joon said, “Since Choi Jin-soo is on the defense, Kim Kang-sun and Heo Il-young have guards on the side, so I asked them to watch a derivative attack in a two-man game. He tried to give him a pass and lost his attack flow. I told him to give it quickly to give it (pass),” he said. “(Lee Dae-sung) took a 3-point shot and pursued it. If it didn’t go in, I would have searched further. I am still doing well, but I wish I was a little smarter.”

Director Eul-joon Kang said, “Lawson scored 33 points. Still, the probability of post attack is higher. The players did their best. I will be good at preparing for the next match” and left the press conference.
