All of the Ginseng Corporation players were examined on the 25th after their colleague Byeon Jun-hyung showed suspicion of Corona 19. On the 26th, all of them were judged negative and played the game normally on the day, but lost to the Electronic Land with 73-78. Incheon/Yonhap News
On Christmas the 25th, the professional basketball industry was thrilled. Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation guard Byun Jun-hyung, 24, showed suspicious symptoms of Corona 19, such as a high fever and body aches of over 38 degrees, and the entire team was examined. For this reason, the match with Busan Katy, which was scheduled to be held on this day, was postponed. It was the first case that a regular league match was postponed because a player showed signs of corona19 suspicion. Fortunately, Byun Jun-hyung and all of the Ginseng Corps team received a negative Corona 19 test the next day, and on the 27th, they played the E-Land held at Incheon Samsan Gymnasium as scheduled. While the spread of Corona 19 has not subsided, representative winter sports are also on the verge of walking on thin ice. This is because the entire league could be stopped if even one confirmed person from inside or outside the squad appears. Professional basketball and professional volleyball Experienced early cessation of the league last seasonBecause I did it, I wrote a more detailed response manual this season. Choi Hyun-sik, the PR team leader of the KBL, said in a call with the Hankyoreh on the 27th, “We are fully preparing to follow the current government quarantine policy. There are over 200 pages of the Corona 19 response manual alone.” If the social distancing stage is upgraded to stage 3, the league will operate flexibly according to the government policy. If the scope of the 3rd stage is limited to the metropolitan area, and if the metropolitan team is a home game, the game is played by moving to an away team stadium outside the metropolitan area. Of course, if Phase 3 is implemented nationwide, the league will be completely suspended without exception. “If there is a break in the league, the game schedule can be adjusted using the All-Star break. The response manual differs depending on whether the league break is less than 4 weeks or more than 4 weeks.” For professional basketball, the ranking method is different depending on whether the league schedule is 50% (round 3). If 50% or more is scored, the ranking is determined according to the competition guidelines, and if it is less than 50%, a joint ranking may appear based on the end point. The third round of professional basketball, which is currently unattended, ends next weekend. Professional volleyball, which ends round 3 on the 29th, is also continuing the league according to the manual. At one time, the stadium Volvo and others were classified as in close contact with the confirmed case, so I was nervous, but fortunately, a negative decision came out and swept my chest. Professional volleyball is supposed to stop the league altogether even if the players or club officials as well as the stadium’s Volvo or staff are confirmed. An official from the volleyball team said, “A business of tens of billions of dollars can be shut down due to one person’s mistake. So he said, “There are quite a few clubs that camp because of the tight league schedule, but the team is refraining from going out and moving only in a limited space. The trainer checks for fever before meals three times a day.” Most of the teams in professional volleyball are located in the metropolitan area, so in the third stage, the league is completely suspended regardless of the scope of application. If the interruption period is less than two weeks, the schedule will be readjusted to cover all remaining matches and postseason schedules. The season ends early when the league break period exceeds 4 weeks. At this time, there are no winning or runner-up teams, and only the regular league rankings are reflected until the previous round for the order of the new draft.
