Seoul Samsung Returns to Jeonggwanjang's Sweat to 50% Winning Rate...Jeong Kwan-jang, who lost to 8083, failed to leap to the first place alone



Seoul Samsung avoided falling to the bottom by spraying ash on Anyang Jeonggwanjang.

Samsung won 83-80 with foreign player Andrew Nicholson's strong performance (26 points, 11 rebounds) in an away game against LG Electronics' professional basketball" held at Jeonggwanjang Arena in Anyang on the 12th.

As a result, Samsung avoided losing consecutive games, recording 2 wins and 2 losses and tied for 6th with Seoul SK, and Jeong Kwan-jang, who failed to win consecutive games, failed to leap to first place with 3 wins and 2 losses.




The match between the two teams on this day was a match with the issue of 'Extreme'. If Jeong Kwan-jang wins on the day, it was an opportunity for him to emerge as the lone No. 1 player for the first time this season with 4 wins and 1 loss. This is because Suwon KT lost against Changwon LG earlier and failed to achieve four wins. On the other hand, Samsung urgently needed to escape from the bottom. If he loses, he will be tied for eighth, narrowly avoiding Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, which has lost one win and three games in a row. I was desperate to sow ash on Jeong Kwan-jang's ambition to take the lead.

Before the start of the game, the resolutions of the two team coaches were also like 'Extreme'. Samsung coach Kim Hyo-beom, who drew attention with his "Archery Basketball" at the beginning of the season but failed to bring results, predicted a change in his playing style. "Today, rather than relying on outside shots, I will try to play basketball with a lot of activity." In the meantime, Lee Dae-sung and Andrew Nicholson have given enough opportunities to operate 'Plan B'. It was also a declaration of war that he would strongly counter Jeong Kwan-jang, who was effective with 'fighting basketball' at the beginning of the season.

Against this, coach Yoo Do-hoon of Jeong Kwan-jang was very humble before his desire to take the No. 1 spot. He seemed to be conscious of the burden of the 'back-to-back' match following the SK match (75:66 win) in Seoul the previous day. Coach Yoo said "Major players played for more than 30 minutes. "I'm going to see the game in the fourth quarter. "We're going to go with a bear operation at the beginning of the game. I hope it's a tie." It seemed to be lowering its tail against Samsung, which is considered a relative weak player in terms of objective power, but it would be fun for viewers to watch if Samsung plays a lot of basketball and conflicts with our fighting power", and did not hide 'nail'.




Samsung, which regained its physical strength by taking two days off, succeeded in gaining the upper hand. Like the 'Archery Basketball' team, he scored as many as seven 3-pointers in the first quarter, leading 27-22 first. Jeong Kwan-jang also responded with four 3-pointers, but it was not enough to erase Nicholson's domination of the inside and outside, including two 3-pointers.

In the second quarter, the gap widened to 10 points (52-42). This is because Jeong Kwan-jang's weaknesses, who have been inferior in rebounding competition compared to the team's performance, have been exposed. Jeong Kwan-jang allowed 12 rebounds in the second quarter alone, but only picked up four.

In addition, Samsung also enjoyed the luck of buzzer beater for two consecutive quarters, which is rare. At the end of the first quarter, Choi Sung-mo's long-range shot passed through the rim, and in the second quarter, the buzzer rang when Lee Kwan-hee's layup passed through the net, ending the first half 52-42 in a good mood.




Rather than holding out, Jeong Kwan-jang, who was pushed back by double-digit points, added to the crisis by falling to 17 points (42-59) without preventing Nicholson's scoreless offensive for about two minutes in the third quarter. Based on the flow of the game, Samsung's victory was likely unless something unexpected happened.

Since then, Samsung has been sweating over Jeong Kwan-jang's fierce pursuit, but succeeded in keeping the victory. In the fourth quarter of the game, the two teams fired up. It was a series of chase and run. The Jeonggwanjang was persistent like a drizzle that fell on this day, and the sub-band was at the forefront. One minute and 44 seconds before the end of the game, a picturesque double-clutch layup by Abando tied it 78-78, for the first time. Nicholson's 3-point shot was then sprayed with cold water as Johnny O'Brient's defensive rebound and Byun Joon-hyung's 3-point shot failed to dry the blood of Anyang home fans. Jeong Kwan-jang chased by one point with a two-point shot by Abando 15.5 seconds before the end, but he was chased by time 3.6 seconds before the end, allowing a team foul free throw.
