Gas Corporation lost a practice game against Kobe Stokes, Japan's B League 2 powerhouse, at the Gleon Arena Kobe Practice Gymnasium in Kobe, Japan, on the 10th.
The final score will not be released at Kobe Stokes' request. Kobe was in League B but had a formidable record. Three foreign players were operated in a rotation, and there is Hachimura Aren, the younger brother of Rui Hachimura.
Belangel Kim Kook-chan, Yang Jae-hyuk, and Matiang were the starters for the Korea Gas Corporation. When Kim Kook-chan hit a three-run shot from the front, Hachimura Aren responded with a three-run shot from the corner.
Gas Corporation scored a putback point after Kim Joon-il grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds, and Ra Gun-ah connected Bellangel's lap pass with a shot under the basket.
The Korea Gas Corporation used a full-court press with about three minutes left in the first quarter. However, Kobe scored back-to-back goals with a series of 2-2 attacks. Hachimura Aren's fastball dunk was also broken by Kim Kook-chan's error.
the operational time of the gas works.
The gas corporation, which had maintained the battle lines, chased after Raganah's three-point gun. After that, it seemed to induce Kobe's error with a surprise double team. However, he did not recognize the right to attack the ball that the opponent hit. I protested on the gas corporation bench, but it was not accepted. After that, Kobe's under-the-goal breakthrough failed. However, he pointed to Ra Gun-ah's foul under the basket. The judgment was doubtful.
Jung Sung-woo was put in with 1:40 left in the first quarter. I activated the two-guard system. As the perimeter defense became solid, Kobe's offense began to be blocked.
Jung Sung-woo succeeded in the fastball with a perfect still at the half-line. He was the best defender in the league. It ended eight points behind in the first quarter. The organization of the gas corporation's set offens attack, which was pointed out as the biggest weakness, was not bad. Belangel, Kim Kook-chan and Ra Gun-ah created a 2-to-2 corner 3-pointer chance, but the success rate was not good. It was the reason why Korea Gas Corporation fell behind in the first quarter. However, it is not a big problem.
In the second quarter, Jung Sung-woo, Cha Ba-wi, Shin Seung-min, Shin Joo-young, and Matiang took the court. Gas Corporation launched its own defensive pressure. Kobe struggled.
In the attack, he used the gap in the opponent's defense with early offens. Matiang scored from under the basket. Basically Kobe couldn't find a way out of the attack. Attacks were often failed due to the 24-second time limit.
It operated various defenses such as full-court press and half-court surprise double team. Added to this is a 3-2 regional defense. Kobe's attack continued to falter.
Gas Corporation took the flow perfectly with Martian's back-to-back points. Let's chase by 3 points, eventually Kobe's operation time. As such, Gas Corporation's defensive organization and pressure were strong.
A storm of momentum continued. Gas Corporation induced an error with a strong defense, and a tiebreaking three-point game broke out. After that, Jung Sung-woo succeeded in turning the tables by stealing and speeding again with strong pressure.
Gas Corporation's destructive defense continued. Korea Gas Corporation also tested the switch defense with an experimental big lineup (Martian, Yang Jae-hyuk, Shin Seung-min, Kim Joon-il and Shin Joo-young) without Jung Sung-woo and Belangel at the end of the second quarter. In the end, the first half ended in a tight tie.

Kobe also responded with a transition. The game became violent, and foreign players in Kobe began to use mismatches intensively. There was a part that could not be prevented even by the solid defensive organization of Gas Corporation.
Gas Corporation's attack also slowed down in the third quarter. Kobe responded to the gas corporation's transition by taking active safety measures.
However, the gas corporation slowed down aggressively. He aimed for a fast transition, but Kobe's speed battle was not easy. Kobe started to hit the bottom of the goal that Ra Gun-ah endured with a 2-2 score. As the gas company's mistakes overlapped, it allowed a quick attack. In the end, he gave up a lead of more than 10 points. However, Gas Corporation and Kobe played strong defense with full-court press and regional defense. The lead of around 10 points was not narrowed. Belangel's one-on-one jumper made a clean success, ending the third quarter with 11 points behind.
In the fourth quarter, Korea Gas Corporation explored the possibility by putting Son Joon in. Belangel led the attack, and Chabawi Shin Seung-min Martian was on the court.
From the middle of the fourth quarter, Jung Sung-woo and Bellangel were used at the same time to increase the speed. Kobe used most of the best, and Gas Corporation used the backup team to test. In the end, the Korea Gas Corporation lost by more than 10 points.
Gas Corporation's performance was impressive. For now, he has freely used a number of defensive variations. Full-court pressure, half-court surprise double team, local defense, etc. were executed according to the situation. To be sure, Gas Corporation's defensive organization is solid. Considering that he rotated a strong rotation around Ra Gun-ah and Matiang on the day, Gas Corporation's pressure defense was certainly impressive. In addition, Jung Sung-woo's previous pressure ability had a strong impact. He recorded three steals.
The transition attack was a bit of a bummer. There was no clear leader in the process of moving on after the defensive rebound. This part is likely to be revised and supplemented. However, in the set offens, the process of making a 2-to-2 corner 3-pointer based on abundant activity after the Weave action (attack method after consecutive handoff plays) was smooth. However, the accuracy of the three-point shot was not good.
