In the last five seasons, there has certainly been a distinction between strong and weak teams. By the way, this season's all-time chaos. The defensive organization of the 10 clubs has been leveled up, and unexpected events are continuing.
As of the 15th, Wonju DB and Busan KCC are tied for first with 3 wins and 1 loss. Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang is third with four wins and two losses. Daegu Gas Corporation is 10th with an unexpected five consecutive losses, but it is a team with sufficient potential to rebound.
Prior to the season, there were many predictions that KCC, LG, KT and SK would form the top ranks. DB, Gas Corporation, Jeonggwanjang, and Sono were evaluated as mid-range dark horses, and Hyundai Mobis and Samsung were widely expected to be in the lower ranks.
By the way, it's completely changed.
Initially, KCC had a lot of variables. There are super stars, but team chemistry was the problem. The injury variables of key players were also lurking.
KCC has yet to join Huh Hoon. He caught Seoul Samsung, but his performance was unstable. They were completely defeated by KT 67-85. Choi Jun-yong left due to injury. The bad news overlapped with KCC's early season flow. By the way, a fresh twist happened. KCC won two consecutive games, with backup members such as William Navarro, Jang Jae-seok, Choi Jin-kwang, and Kim Dong-hyun in harmony with the existing Heo Hoon Song Kyo-chang and Sean Long. He has an unexpected early lead.
SK looked very strong. It defeated LG, which faced each other in the final last season, 89:81, and even KT was defeated by 104:64, 40 points. Jamil Warney was still strong, and SK's unique organizational power was still strong. However, after losing to Sono, he lost three games in a row. In the process of losing three games in a row, Warney's dependence has emerged as a dilemma.
LG lost to SK in the opening game, but won three consecutive games. Defending champion LG emerged as a regular league favorite as it was evaluated that its power has been upgraded this season. However, he is slowing down as he was hit by the chief of the articles of association.
On the other hand, teams that were classified as dark horses, such as Wonju DB and Anyang Jeonggwanjang, are forming a higher rank with stronger core strength and offense and defense than expected.
The freshest impacts are Samsung in Seoul and Hyundai Mobis in Ulsan. The two teams were initially considered the weakest. Samsung's Lee Keun-hwi, Choi Sung-mo and Justin Gutang are active, centering on Andrew Nicholson and Lee Dae-sung. It has built a stronger defensive stickiness than last season. In the end, the articles of association were caught 83-80.
Hyundai Mobis, which declared the rebuilding due to Lee Woo-suk's departure from the military and the replacement of foreign players, is also doing well early in the season with 2 wins and 3 losses, showing solid defense with the core of Lee Seung-hyun and Ham Ji-hoon.
Normally, after the first round, there is a power difference between the top and bottom teams. However, there is no absolute power or absolute underdog this season. The rankings change according to the results of each match.
It is highly likely that the flow of extreme equalization will continue. There are several reasons.
First of all, all 10 clubs have the solidity of organized defense. Most of the 10 clubs have mixed strengths and weaknesses of their cores. For example, LG and Sono have strong core players' power, but their backup teams are weak. KCC has unexpected solidity in the backup, but Huh Hoon and Choi Jun-yong are still injured. KT has a strong defense, but it has problems in offense, and SK has to solve its homework on Warney dependence.
