[점프볼=창원/이재범 기자] “I thought Lee Dae-sung would finish it, but I didn’t expect that he would cut in. I was one step late and I was lucky.”
Changwon LG ended their 8th consecutive home victory by winning 93-91 after an extended game against Goyang Orion held at the Changwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 9th. LG recorded 13 wins and 26 losses, alive the hope of escaping from 10th place. Orion was defeated for the 17th time (21 wins).
Leon Williams and Lee Kwan-hee stood out. Williams scored 35 points and 16 rebounds and 3 assists. He wrote his 10th personal career 30-10 and won the team. In particular, he scored the final score with 6.5 seconds left.
Lee Kwan-hee performed the best in airborne with 29 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steels, 2 blocks including 5 3-point shots.
LG tasted a thrilling victory, but Orion, on the contrary, knelt again with a difference of two points. Orion was sluggish with 1-9 in the match within 2 points. Even if he only won 4 out of 9 losses, he would be in second place with 25 wins and 13 losses, 1 game behind Jeonju KCC.
Maybe LG had luck, and Orion had no luck, as if defeat within two points was fate.
When Devin Williams, who was doing post-ups around 28 seconds overtime, was defended by the double team, he gave Lee Jong-hyun a pass. Lee Jong-hyun missed the perfect shot below the goal. Orion had a chance to lead 93-91, eventually conceding to Leon Williams and lagging behind by two points.
Orion unfolded the tactic of raising two points to tie after the operation time with 6.5 seconds left. Lee Dae-sung delivered an inbound pass to Han Ho-bin and immediately attempted a cut-in. Lee Kwan-hee, who was defending Lee Dae-seong, was a step late. Lee Dae-sung also failed the layup.
Since Daesung Lee attempted a layup quickly, there was enough time for Devin Williams to catch an offensive rebound and score a goal. Even Devin Williams’ bottom shot missed. In Lee Dae-sung’s lay-up, Lee Kwan-hee tried even a block, but Devin Williams took a perfect boxout and then rebounded and tried a bottom-of-the-foot shot, so there was no defense.
If Lee Jong-hyun’s bottom shot, Lee Dae-sung’s layup, and Devin Williams’ bottom shot are reproduced 100 times, it may not be possible to fail all three.
After winning this day, Lee Kwan-hee said, “I thought Daesung would finish it, but I didn’t expect it to cut in. I was one step late, but I was lucky.” “I think it was the day for me today (9th) that Lee Jong-hyun couldn’t shoot at the bottom of the goal before that time.”
After the official press conference, Orion Director Kang Eul-jun left the press conference with a regrettable sigh, saying, “It worked out at the end, but I couldn’t put all three times.”
