Changwon LG and Ulsan Hyundai Mobis will play the second round of the semifinal playoff (PO·3 of 5 games) of the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' at Changwon Gymnasium on the 26th. In the first game on the 24th, LG won 67-64.
It was a tight game. The two teams were fierce with 3 wins and 3 losses in the regular league this season. The seesaw game was also held on this day. About 20 seconds before the end of the game, LG only continued to lead Hyundai Mobis by two points.
What determined victory or defeat was the performance of a foreign player. The head coaches of both teams emphasized the foreign players' 'mental' before the game. It was LG who won the foreign player fight. Asem Maray scored 27 points and 13 rebounds to lead LG to victory. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee's decision, but did not lose his concentration. Moreover, according to LG Interpreters, Marei had rats on both calves from the first quarter. "Hyundai Mobis players are always difficult to face off because they are active and have a wide range of defense," Marei said.
On the contrary, the foreign player of Hyundai Mobis was greatly reeling. Sean Long had eight points and eight rebounds in 17 minutes and 39 seconds. There were four errors. Gage Prim had 20 points and 5 rebounds in 22 minutes and 19 seconds, but failed to prevent the loss.
After the game, LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said " (When Maray and Carl Tamayo file a judgment complaint), I often say "I can't talk to you anymore because my throat hurts." I have to control the referee's judgment. Tamayo also had some concerns because it was his first time on the PO stage in Korea. But he also pushes and gives compliments so that he can maintain his concentration." On the day, Tamayo remained seven points for 27 minutes and 1 second.
Cho Dong-hyun, head coach of Hyundai Mobis, said, "My head got complicated. Before the game, foreign players were compared to 'bomb', but concerns became a reality. Coach Cho Dong-hyun said of Prim and Long's shaky appearance on the day, `It's my homework to solve. After the game, he pointed out that we can lead the game at our pace instead of fighting with the crowd and the referee."
