"November is the most worrisome."
Cho Sang-hyun (49), head coach of Changwon LG, sighed deeply. Changwon LG has a new experience this season. 'Defending champion'LG will be playing in the East Asian Super League (EASL) for the first time since its foundation. He is playing both the league and the EASL this season.
It's not an easy challenge. LG has a tighter schedule than ever. In November alone, he will play a total of nine games, including seven league games and two EASL games. Moreover, Mongolia-Taiwan overseas expeditions are scheduled. In particular, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, where the match against the Xac Broncos will be held, is located at a plateau of 1,300 meters above sea level. The average temperature in the morning of November is below minus 10 degrees Celsius. Difficulties are expected in unfamiliar environments. Cho said, "Playing on weekends in November, and going abroad during the week. I'm focusing on conditioning. In particular, flight time is not just a problem for overseas expeditions. You should also consider the waiting time, the time when you arrive and travel. Mongolia is in the alpine region, so we are checking it because it may be difficult to breathe.'
The time of fate has come. LG played a series of away matches against the Seoul SK on the 1st in Goyang Sono-2 on the 1st. He will take a day off on the 3rd and then move to Mongolia on the 4th. He is scheduled to return on the 6th after playing on the 5th. After that, he plans to move to Wonju for the match against Wonju DB on the 8th. Cho said "It's the first time I've experienced it. I'm worried about what kind of variable the movement will be. November is the most worrisome"Asem Maray's back is in a bad condition. EASL matches are also important. I have a lot of worries. I'll have to take the time to play while looking at my condition and hum." Maray had 15 points-14 rebounds in 35 minutes and 54 seconds against SK.

Contrary to Cho's concerns, LG players expressed confidence. After the SK match, Yoo Ki-sang (24) said, "I didn't spend much time as a professional player, but I think I know my body to some extent. I sleep a lot. I like to cycle, so no matter how hard it is, I cycle while moving. "EASL is hard to do in parallel. But it depends on what you think. It's something you have to do even if it's hard. I think we can play one game in front of our eyes." 'Philippines Express'Kaltamayo, 24, also "Eat a lot and sleep a lot for recovery. I also go to a sauna. Looking at the veteran players, they don't seem to eat pork. So I'm only going to eat beef " It's true that the schedule is tough. But we are going to EASL because we won last season. You should be proud. Play against a high-quality team. You should always prepare like a professional."
