Coach Lee Sang-min was worried about 3 games in 4 days, but the players' mental strength won
|
Lee Sang-min, head coach of Busan KCC, did not hide his gratitude for the players' mindset.
Busan KCC, led by head coach Lee, won 83-80 at home against Seoul SK in the '2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball' held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 7th.
KCC, who won two consecutive games after two consecutive losses, rose to third place alone with 11 wins and eight losses. SK, which stopped winning three games in a row, fell to fifth place with 10 wins and 9 losses.
With three games played in the past four days, he has achieved satisfactory results with two wins and one loss.
In response to the victory, coach Lee said, `Today's victory is thanks to the players' mental strength. It is a difficult situation for three games on the 4th, and I was rather worried. However, he defended well from the first quarter and held on until the end as a result of earning points,' he said. `I'm satisfied if I win three games and two games amid a tough schedule.'
In the game, Hernandez played well with 13 points and five rebounds. In response, Lee said, `Shaun Long had a pelvic contusion early in the game and was also caught in foul trouble, so Hernandez was appointed""I felt very sorry for not giving Hernandez enough time to play. Nevertheless, Hernandez did well enough today. He filled the void well," he said, expressing his gratitude.
Coach Lee judged that Heo Hoon returned, but considering the 100-day injury gap and the time he has not been able to work together, the whole group is still far away.
He is called a super team by people around him. However, with Huh Hoon playing, he has not played the practice game properly. "I'm holding up well with the rest of the players now, but I think the injured will be a little stronger if they come in and match a few games in the future."
