[투데이★] KCC Tyler Davies “Anthony Davies, the day we meet with each other”

[점프볼=잠실실내/김호중 인터넷기자] Tyler Davis didn’t like the nickname “Korea’s AD (Anthony Davis).” What is the reason?

Jeonju KCC won 88-83 in the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis Professional Basketball Regular League round 5 match against Seoul Samsung in Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium on the 8th. With this victory, KCC escaped a losing streak. In addition, he recorded a record of 26-12 in the season, and the ride against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (23-15), the second place, was held in 3 games.

On this day, KCC’s foreign player Tyler Davies scored 21 points and 13 rebounds, recording the most goals and rebounds for both teams. In particular, in the fourth quarter when the team was inferior, it exploded 8 points, contributing to a 14-point turnaround.

Davis, who was selected as a distinguished player, said, “There are ups and downs throughout the season. It seems to have been sluggish in the last 5-6 games. During that period, I had been trying to make contact with my colleagues and understand them.”

With a big success on this day, Davis summoned his nickname once again. Davis, who is recording an average of 14.7 points and 10.2 rebounds this season, is called’Korea’s AD’. This is because NBA LA Lakers’ star Big Man Anthony Davis is showing an impressive performance.

When asked about the nickname’Korea’s AD’, Davis smiled and said, “Anthony Davis is a capable player that I have seen since childhood. But I don’t want to be called the 2nd Anthony Davis. Rather than being called someone second, I hope that the day will come when I will face the player directly because of my skills.”

Finally, Davis, who recalls Laguna being selected as the national team, said, “The absence of Laguna feels quite large. However, if you stick together and focus on your defense, you can minimize that gap. In particular, you have to pay attention to the rebound. I will also work hard,” he summarized the interview.
