[점프볼=원주/김용호 기자] A wind of positive change blows in the DB.
Wonju DB won a thrilling victory with 74-72 in the 5th round match against Goyang Orion in the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball held at the Wonju Sports Complex on the 7th. DB, which has successfully won three consecutive wins after a long time since the opening of this season, has narrowed the ride to sixth place Busan KT to five games.
DB’s will to not let go of hope for the semifinal playoffs is realizing. Since the end of the All-Star break in mid-January, the DB has been performing well with 6-2 in 8 games.
In the process, the most noticeable thing is the turnover, which is showing a decline. In particular, it stands out even more considering that the opponents of the weekend match were strong teams such as 2nd place Hyundai Mobis and 3rd place Orion. DB recorded only 7 turnovers against Hyundai Mobis and 8 against Orion this day.
DB ranks first in this category with an average of 12.9 turnovers per game this season. Not only this season, but since manager Sang-bum Lee took office in the 2017-2018 season, they have recorded the most turnovers in the league except for one season (third place).
Of course, the turnover and performance cannot be considered proportional. Even though the DB made many turnovers, it has placed first in the regular league twice since the appointment of manager Lee Sang-beom.
However, in this season, there were many scenes in which the concentration was clearly reduced, not a turnover that was unavoidably occurring in the opponent’s defense within the promised play. Coach Sang-beom Lee often said, “You shouldn’t play like this. The play we were playing has disappeared.”
In that respect, it is certainly encouraging that DB only left 10 or less turnovers in two games in a row. As manager Sang-beom Lee said, “We are looking for the original image, not the uptrend,” ahead of the game, it can be seen that the power of the DB, which had a strong backsight, is reviving.
DB that successfully renewed the atmosphere as if recalling the game power of the opening three consecutive wins. It is noteworthy whether the DB, which is playing the last home game with Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation before the A-match break on the 11th, will be able to face the first four consecutive wins of the season by reducing turnover against’Daedo Corps’.
