Changwon LG, a professional basketball team that came from behind to win with a dramatic buzzer beater, is troubled by ace Yang Hong-seok’s poor scoring. It seems necessary to reduce the burden of defense on Suwon kt Paris Bath and focus on offense.

LG will have its fourth match against KT in the 2023-24 pro basketball semifinal playoff (three wins out of five) held at KT Arena in Suwon on Tuesday. If LG wins, it will confirm its advance to the next round. According to the KBL history, chances are 90.5 percent (19 out of 21) of the two wins and one loss to advance to the championship game.

However, LG cannot guarantee consecutive wins. In the third game on Tuesday, Yoon Won-sang hit a three-point shot at the same time as the closing buzzer, to win 76-73 but was lagging behind in competition for firepower throughout the 40th minute. Until the end of the fourth quarter, Asem Maray, the “rebound king,” struggled with 25 points and 23 rebounds, but the rest of the players showed disappointing performance. Only Yoon Won-sang (11 points) and Justin Gutang (10 points), who started the game from the bench, scored double-digit points.

Notably, Yang Hong-seok, who ranks second in scoring (12.9 points on average) within his team during the regular season, was sluggish with five points. Yang Hong-seok, who exclusively played defense against Bath, committed three fouls at 6:43 into the first quarter before being replaced by Jung Hee-jae, and took rest for the entire next quarter. He was deployed with 5 minutes left in the third quarter, but faltered due to the chance to shoot. LG’s main offensive tactics of Yang Hong-seok and Maray also failed to display their 2-2 attack. He broke through without a defender in a close game when the team was trailing by two points two minutes before the game ended, but failed to score due to an ambiguous layup. However, Maray took a breather as he caught the ball and finished the game.

On this day, Yang Hong-seok threw four two-point shots and made only one out of three, staying at 28.6% of the field goal success rate. Ahead of the second game on the 18th, LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, “I nagged a lot to Yang Hong-seok. We need to focus on both offense and defense,” adding, “We need a player who is good in every game. We need Yang Hong-seok’s role,” but Yang Hong-seok averaged 5.3 points and LG only 72.3 points in three games. Coach Cho calls Yang Hong-seok in a frustrating voice every operation time and calls for quick movement.

Yang Hong-seok, who predicted his stellar performance against his former team KT for seven years until last season, seems to be struggling to deal with Bath. On the other hand, KT is saving physical strength of its main scorers Bath and Hur Hoon by utilizing Michael Eric, Jung Sung-woo and Han Hee-won. LG’s field commander Lee Jae-do, who gave up 21 points in the first game, was also tied to nine points in the third game as Jung Sung-woo blocked him.

LG also needs tricks. “As it is the first season since I transferred, I have strong motivation to do well. I am experiencing a temporary slump due to psychological reasons,” basketball commentator Lee Kyu-sup told the Seoul Shimbun. “As Maray is not the type to score many points, Yang’s scoring is important. If he attacks according to his rhythm in an opportunity situation, he will be able to find the average.”

At the Paris Olympics scheduled for this summer, the Korean national soccer team is challenging to advance to the finals for the 10th consecutive time for the first time in the world. To this end, the U-23 Olympic team is aiming for a ticket to Paris at the 2024 Asian Cup of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) that will take place in Qatar from Saturday. The Korean team needs to rank among the top three in the event to win a ticket to the Olympics directly. The Olympic team gained momentum by holding the trophy at the Western Asian Football Confederation (WAFF) U-23 Championship, which was like a prelude to the championship last month. It was a feat that Hwang Sun-hong, the coach of the Korean national team, was away to serve as the interim coach of the A team.

However, negative developments are continuing for the Olympic team, which left for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where its training camp was set up on May 5. As key “European teams” failed to call in, Hwang’s worries deepened.
Korea is set to secure a tough match at the U-23 Asian Cup. Group B teams will meet with the UAE, China, and Japan, respectively, on Wednesday. Japan, which has a large number of European leagues, is the favorite, while the UAE is also considered an ambush in the Middle East.

Hwang Sun-hong, who has to mobilize all his might, is taking off his car and gun. First of all, Yang Hyun-joon (21) of Celtic, former national team player, was disqualified from the race due to opposition from his team on May 5. Yang was replaced by Hong Si-hoo (23) of Incheon International. South Korea, which lost its core of its offense, reported on Tuesday that its central defender Kim Ji-soo (19, Brentford) will not be able to join the team due to his team’s circumstances. As a defense reshuffle became inevitable, Hwang selected midfielder Kim Dong-jin (20, Pohang). He chose multiplayer Kim Dong-jin because he lacked adequate defense resources. Kim Dong-jin, who made his debut in K League 1 this year, played in only two matches.

Moreover, it is uncertain whether Stoke City’s midfielder Bae Joon-ho (20) will join the club. Watchers predict that Stoke City, which is fiercely competing to remain in the club at the end of the season, will not send Bae Joon-ho, who was considered the club’s “Player of the Month” last month. Chances are high that among the 23 players Hwang Seon-hong will be composed of Korean players, except for Kim Min-woo (22, Dusseldorf) and Jung Sang-bin (22, Minnesota). With changes in key players, Hwang will likely consider adjusting his team’s tactics.

Hwang Sun-hong, who is adapting locally, will enter Doha, Qatar, a battleground on the 10th

Jeong Kwan-jang ended his first spring volleyball in seven years after losing 0-3 to Heungkuk Life Insurance in the third round of the 2023-2024 V-League Women’s Playoff held on the 26th of last month. Outside heater Lee So-young, who served as the head of the offense and defense, was unable to stand on the court in the playoffs due to a sprained ankle in the game against GS Caltex on the 7th of last month, and key middle blocker Jung Ho-young was also unable to play in the second and third rounds due to knee pain in the first round of the playoffs. The disappointment was even greater because it was spring volleyball, which was not able to play as a whole.

Nevertheless, coach Ko Hee-jin said after the playoffs, “I don’t want to make an excuse for an injured player, but I don’t want to hear that we lost because there was no one. There is no reason or excuse. Heungkuk Life has become overwhelmed by us.” He was the best player who could have shown his “defeat” by not relying on excuses, excuses or players for the Gatabuta, and frankly admitting his lack of skills.

Less than a week later, the 2023-2024 V-League Women’s Postseason ended with Hyundai E&C winning all three championship games and the first championship in 13 years since the 2010-2011 season. If Hyundai wins the championship game, it will be the first time in eight years since the 2015-2016 season.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which took the top spot in the regular league by one point difference and went straight to the championship game, enjoyed the merit. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which played three playoff games against Jeonggwanjang, lacked the stamina to overcome the “muddy battle” against Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which was held in a full-set battle every game.

The triangle formation, which leads to “Volleyball Empress” Kim Yeon-koung, Willow, and Raina, raged every game, but all three games exposed a significant drop in physical strength after just four sets. Heungkuk Life led the set score 2-1 until the third set in all three games, but the fact that it lost all three games by dropping four or five sets in three consecutive games clearly shows that there was a big physical issue.

The reason why we brought up Coach Ko Hee-jin was mentioned above was to criticize the attitude shown by Coach Heungkuk Life Marcello Avon Danza after the third round of the championship match. Avon Danza, who entered the interview room after the third round, could not hear that it was his fault. “First of all, congratulations to Hyundai Engineering & Construction. He was strong in everything, including his mental and physical strength that he managed to overcome after holding on to the end of the game. He showed good volleyball,” he praised Hyundai Engineering & Construction for winning the title, and blamed the loss on the team, which failed to change its cause.

“What I expected at the beginning of the season was different from the current result. I expected a different result,” Avon Dan-ja said. “It’s unfortunate that there are not many players in the team who are trying to grow or change, or try different things.” “As a foreign coach, I tried to introduce something new that I had not done before, but I couldn’t,” he said. “Trying to change oneself and doing something new does not seem to be determined by age. Kim Yeon-koung and Kim Su-ji, the most influential players in the team, showed that. There were players who showed great growth such as Do Soo-bin and Park Soo-yeon, but the overall team has not changed much. It’s a shame that we haven’t developed our technical or mental aspects as a whole. That’s why the current result came out.”

Heungkuk Life Insurance fell victim to the unprecedented “reverse sweep defeat” last season, as it lost three games even after grabbing the first and second rounds of championship matches. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had a long hiatus due to Kwon Soon-chan’s replacement, brought Avon Danza as its official coach at the end of February last year. A historic defeat in the championship match, which took place more than a month after taking charge of the team, can be exonerated. The loss was made at a time when there was not enough physical time to melt down his volleyball philosophy or tactics.

However, this season is different. Avon Danza participated in the team’s training from the off-season and devised the team. Nevertheless, Avon Danza blamed some of the players rather than admitting that it was his fault. He even said, “This has happened for two consecutive years. I think the sick part of the team needs to be changed.” Heungkuk Life Insurance is an interview that can be read with the nuance of separating itself from the team.

He also expressed regret over the injury. “Even Kim Dae-eun, who showed good performances on the national team, or Kim Chae-yeon, a key middle blocker, could not be appointed throughout the season. Kim also wanted to use it a lot, but it was difficult. This is the analysis that I made for this season,” he said in an interview.

A good coach attributes victory to players and defeat to himself. Born in Italy, a volleyball powerhouse, he served as coach not only in the Italian league but also in far higher leagues than the V-League, including Turkiye and Poland, and once served as coach for the Bulgarian, Canadian, and Greek national teams, Avon Danza is one of the top foreign coaches in the V-League. When he first became the head coach of Heungkuk Life Insurance, fans cheered him up, saying that he would become a “world-class master.”

However, he is not a master at least in the V-League. He failed to secure a championship by making the most of the given squad, and suffered record-breaking defeats in championship matches for two consecutive years. One was a reverse sweep defeat in history, and another was a complete defeat in three consecutive full-set matches. Was it difficult for him to say “everything is my fault” even in a greeting ceremony.

It is hard to say that the way Ko Hee-jin and Avon Dan-ja approach defeat is a cultural difference between the East and the West. Jose Mourinho, a world-renowned soccer master, used to protect his players by focusing blame and attention on himself during his prime time. This is why Heungkuk Life Insurance’s loss at the championship for two consecutive years is even more bitter.
