[스포츠월드=잠실학생체 전영민 기자] The number behind the goal changed to 3 seconds. I barely jumped with the defender in front. Foreign player Nick Mineras (33, SK) won the team a valuable win.
On the 2nd, Mineras showed off their presence by participating in the ‘2020 Hyundai Mobis Professional Basketball’ e-land and home game held at the Jamsil Student Gymnasium. 16 points during the run of 17 minutes and 57 seconds. 3 rebounds also added to personal records. SK reported its 16th win (20th loss) of the season by defeating Eland 75-73 thanks to Mineras’ performance. The gap with the 6th place Electronic Land (18 wins and 17 losses) was narrowed by two games. Two consecutive victories in 81 days after the Mobis match on November 13 last year.
On this day, Mineras covered his face several times. It was because he made mistakes several times in a quick attack and pattern situation. Every chance that I could get ahead, I shed a ball, and the opportunity rather led to the rapid attack of E-Land. The situation in which two points could be scored led to two points conceded. In the situation where there are not many scoring routes, the place SK manager will rely on is Mineras. However, the SK bench sank heavily as Mineras continued to turnover.
However, in the last 10 seconds, I cleared all the regrets of the first half. Six points behind the game with 40 seconds left. After successfully defending twice and chasing by one point, Mineras’ Showtime began. Mineras, who was handed the ball with 6 seconds left, attempted to break through the opponent’s forward Chabawi outside the 3-point line. When the road couldn’t be seen, Mineras jumped with her body leaning sideways. The intention to get a foul and the intention to put it in both seemed to coexist. And the ball with the parabolic line stuck on the rim as it was. It was a dramatic reverse shot and a valuable 3-point shot that gave the team a winning streak.
Mineras didn’t win Moon’s trust early in the season. SK also had Jamyl Warney, who was in sync with the team last year. In addition, Mineras tried to play unreasonably amid various attack options such as Kim Sun-hyung, Choi Jun-yong, and Ahn Young-jun. However, as time went on, Warney was sluggish, and as the wounded continued, Moon needed a clear attack option. Mineras has met Moon’s expectations several times and is reborn as the team’s one option.
After the game, Mineras said, “Our team is in desperate situation. It was an important match for competing for the last spot in the playoffs.” “I thought it would give me space if I cheated in that situation. I think it’s really fortunate that I saved that chance.”
