KCC lost a game against Japan's B-League strong team Nagoya FE (Fighting Eagles) at Nagoya FE Practice Gymnasium in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan on the 5th.(The match score will not be disclosed at the request of Nagoya FE)
On the day, KCC had a game plan to hire one foreign player in the first and fourth quarters and two players in the second and third quarters. It informed Nagoya FE in advance.
Choi Jin-kwang, Heo Ung, Song Kyo-chang, Choi Jun-yong, and Sean Long started the game.
Heo Woong, who succeeded in bulk-up in the offseason, made two three-point 暉構 at the beginning of the first quarter?I put it in.
Sean Long scored a putback point after catching the offensive rebound.
Although Nagoya FE struggled with strong outside defense pressure and transition, KCC did not falter.
With 4:55 left in the first quarter, Song Kyo-chang was hit in the face during a quick layup shot. However, the foul was not called. It was a dizzying moment, but Song Kyo-chang soon woke up.
Sean Long stood out. In the event of a post-up attack, he laid the foundation for making an open three-point shot with an exquisite outer pass to the opponent's surprise double team, and showed persistence in the rebound fight under the basket.
Heo Woong and Song Kyo-chang were also in good condition. Huh Woong showed good shooting condition, including the first two 3-pointers, and Song Kyo-chang also showed his heyday by scoring a clean 3-pointer. He was still powerful in defense.
KCC switched gears in the middle. Lee Ho-hyun, Jang Jae-seok, Dwan Hernandez and William Navarro were put in. Navarro had a clean three-run shot from the corner. Huh Woong's three-point game followed.
In the context of a quick attack, Hernandez induced a foul on the opponent's close defense and scored a free throw. In the end, he finished ahead after a close game in the first quarter. It was regrettable that the opponent's ace Jones received a buzzer beater three points.
In the second quarter, both Long and Hernandez came in for KCC. Lee Ho-hyun, Heo Ung, Song Kyo-chang came out. Sean Long grabbed three offensive rebounds and then stuck them in. He also showed concentration in defense and succeeded in stealing.
Nagoya was also not easy. Although it is mixed race, the Japanese player's quarter guard Sudo's exquisite 2-2 pass and three points were scored.
However, in the situation of Lee Ho-hyun's floater and rapid attack, Sean Long's putback score was scored. However, Nagoya created an outer open chance with transitions and detailed patterns, and showed a high three-point shooting accuracy rate. In some cases, KCC's rotation organization has not been smooth yet. However, the improvement was sufficiently possible.
Choi Jun-yong's two exquisite fastball passes came out. It led to easy scoring by Hernandez and Choi Jin-kwang. Nagoya's transition was fast, but KCC was also not easy. There was no problem with the activity that I was concerned about.
However, he lacked the ability to play defense. In many cases, offensive rebounds were lost, and Nagoya was allowed to open three points as the defense was disturbed.
Nagoya certainly took advantage of KCC's weakness in defensive organizing. He confused the KCC defense with a quick pass, and induced a violation by surprise pressure. In the end, the first half ended with KCC trailing.

However, KCC's weaknesses were clear at this point. The guard and the big man did not work together against the opponent 2-2. Nagoya led the transition game with constant runs and guns, and its defense was weak. In the end, Nagoya's speed match broke the good flow at the beginning of the third quarter. KCC's Operation Time.
In the end, KCC had an intermittent counterattack in the third quarter, but Nagoya also countered with an outside three-point shot by a passing game. The gap between scores was rarely narrowed.
In the fourth quarter, Sean Long, Huh Woong, Song Kyo-chang, Navarro and Choi Jin-kwang were put in. However, the overall team's speed fell, allowing a fastball score due to Nagoya's strong pressure.
In the end, KCC called in the main players from the middle of the fourth quarter and checked the backup's condition.
KCC's Sean Long Song Kyo-chang Hur Woong had a lot of playing time. Sean Long was certainly powerful. It was a practice game, but he showed his concentration and there was also a scene that devastated Nagoya's bottom of the goal. Two-option Hernandez was also a passing point.
Choi Jun-yong had a presence. He didn't play much time while thoroughly controlling his playing time, but his presence was clear when he was with Sean Long and Song Kyo-chang.
In other words, Sean Long's game attitude, which was concerned, was not a big problem, but rather powerful. Huh Hoon was absent, and Choi Jun-yong didn't play much time, but KCC certainly looked strong if it became a full body.
The backup team was also solid. There were Jang Jae-seok, Navarro, Hernandez, Choi Jin-kwang, Lee Ho-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, and Kim Hoon.
However, he struggled with Nagoya's full-court press and defensive pressure. He showed a collapse in the second half. In addition, the overall breathing was still unstable. After the 2-2 defense and rebound, the fastball development process was not smooth. He was not fully active in defense, and the loopholes in the outer defense were clear. Nagoya allowed three runs. In other words, KCC is strong as a whole, but there are still many elements of anxiety. The exhibition match against Nagoya FE was a game that gave KCC hope and homework at the same time.
