Coach Kim Joo-seong’s DB, opening 6 consecutive wins… ‘Overturning the difference of 18 to 19 points’
A professional basketball opening record of 8 consecutive wins is also within sight… Confrontation with Samsung on the 7th
After the opening of the professional basketball Wonju DB, the upward trend is unusual.
DB won 90-79 in an away game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis held at Dongcheon Gymnasium in Ulsan on the 5th.
In this game, Hyundai Mobis was expected to win easily with a 50-31 lead at one point in the second quarter, but DB launched a big counterattack in the second half and ended up winning by 11 points. 카지노사이트킹
DB is headed by coach Kim Joo-sung, who was a leading figure in Korean basketball during his active career, ahead of the 2023-2024 season.
Although they were evaluated as a mid-to-upper tier ahead of the season opening, the general expectation was that they were not at the level of threatening the ‘two-strong system’ of Jeonju KCC or Seoul SK.
However, DB has been on a six-game winning streak since the opening, beating second place KCC by 2.5 games and taking the lead.
The game on the 5th was not the first time that DB overturned a large score difference.
On October 28, against KCC, they showed their potential by ending the game, which had been trailing by 31-49 and 18 points, with a 101-90 victory.
The record for the most consecutive wins since the opening of professional basketball is 8 consecutive wins achieved by DB’s predecessor Dongbu in the 2011-2012 season and Goyang Orion, predecessor of Goyang Sono, in the 2014-2015 season.
If DB, which faces Seoul Samsung on the 7th and Anyang CheongKwanJang on the 10th of this week, continues to win, it is possible to achieve the record for the most consecutive wins since the opening game.
Didrick Lawson is also considered the main player in DB’s early rise.
Lawson is quickly being evaluated as the best foreign player this season with an all-round performance averaging 30.3 points (2nd), 9.7 rebounds (5th), and 4.8 assists (6th).
When he played for Sono predecessor Carrot last season, he averaged 18.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
In addition, it is said that captain Sang-jae Kang and national team member Jong-gyu Kim have both height and speed, adding to the power of ‘DB Sanseong’ in the past.
SPOTV commentator Lee Sang-yoon said, “Of course, the performances of Lawson, Kim Jong-gyu, and Kang Sang-jae are good, but coach Kim Joo-sung did a good job creating a team atmosphere where senior players such as Park Chan-hee also throw their weight on the court.”
He added, “Six men such as Seo Min-soo, Choi Seung-wook, and Kim Young-hyun also do bad things.
“He works hard and raises the team spirit,” he said.
In particular, DB still needs to strengthen its strength in that starting guard Doo Kyung-min has not yet played in the regular league due to knee pain.
The future game schedule is also favorable.
This is because they will play six consecutive home games starting with the game against Samsung on the 7th and ending with the game against Samsung on the 18th.
Commissioner Lee Sang-yoon said, “We need to manage the stamina of Lawson and Ethan Albano, who play a lot of time,” and advised that the long-term race should be completed by utilizing the newly recruited Jeff Withy or Doo Kyung-min, who will return from injury.
