'Seungjang' is what Cho Sang-hyun, head coach of Changwon LG, said.
Changwon LG won 67-64 in the first round of the semifinal playoff (PO·3 of 5 games) against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis at Changwon Gymnasium on the 24th. This gave LG a 77.8 percent chance. Of the 54 teams that won the first round of the all-time semifinal PO, 42 were in the championship game.
After the game, coach Cho said, `When I play against Hyundai Mobis, I always get very nervous. I think I'm playing a really interesting game. All games were within five points from the fifth to sixth rounds of the regular league and the first round of the semifinal PO. Although his initial sense fell, it was the strength of defense that tied Hyundai Mobis' offensive power to 64 points. Took advantage in rebounds, errors and transitions. I think that's why we won."
At the center of the victory was Asem Marei. He had 27 points and 13 rebounds alone. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the referee in the middle of the game, but he led the team to victory.
Director Cho said "I told Maray I couldn't tell you anymore because my throat hurt (laughs). I did the same to Tamayo. I'm trying to control refereeing and things like that. Tamayo is my first PO in Korea. "There were some concerns, but I'm going to push and praise the players so that they can focus and go on with it."
Regarding Yoo Ki-sang (7 points), who was somewhat slow on the day, he said, `The shot may not go in. However, the amount of defensive activity is enormous. What I couldn't do with a shooter is organic. There is a plus in that area." On this day, Yoo Ki-sang attempted nine 3-pointers and succeeded in only one.
The two teams will play the second game at the same place on the 26th. `I will do my best to prepare for the second game,' he said.
