" Yoo Ki-sang, "The team with potential is different."
Changwon LG beat Busan KCC 104-84 in the 2023-2024 professional basketball home game at Changwon Gymnasium on the 10th and won five consecutive games.One of the driving forces behind the victory is the three-point shot. LG had a three-point shooting success rate of 30.1 percent (47/156) before the game. He has made 6.7 three-point shots on average. LG manager Cho Sang-hyun expressed regret that he failed to take advantage of the opportunity to make 3-point shots derived from Asem Marayi.On this day, I let go of all that regret. LG concentrated 16 three-point shots (57.1%) on the day. Among them, rookie Yoo Ki-sang scored 18 points with only six three-point shots to help the team win. In particular, he made five consecutive 3-pointers from the middle of the second quarter to the middle of the third quarter. On top of that, he stood out in defense, including Heo Woong.After winning that day, Yoo Ki-sang said, "I was embarrassed, not embarrassed, after experiencing (3) consecutive losses as a pro for the first time. As expected, a team with potential is different. The players are united. I worked hard in my position and tried to follow my brothers," he said. "Now it's the first round. We will try to reach the goal LG wants by finishing the rest of the game well, he said.When the opening three consecutive games were mentioned, Yoo Ki-sang said, "I told Lee Jae-do that the first three games were too wasteful," adding, "Jae-do said that we were able to wake up and do more because of the game." I think so, too," he said.In the future, teams facing LG will be wary of Yoo Ki-sang's explosive three-point shot.Yoo Ki-sang said, "The defense intensity is different from that of the university. I did it confidently because I knew that, he said. "In the future, if one defense comes against me, it has the advantage of expanding the space for my brothers to attack, which can help the team."In the fourth quarter, when the game was decided, Yoo Ki-sang, who only kept the bench, said, "I didn't know how many (three-point shots) I made. When I asked on the bench, I found out because there were older brothers who counted. "If I played until the fourth quarter, my physical strength was low, so it was hard to get up to 10 (3-point shots)," he said. "I knew that (the shot) was going in, so Jung Hee-jae hung the screen firmly. I felt that. I thought it was a strong team," he said, giving credit to his teammates.Then, Lee Jae-do, who came into the press conference that day, said slightly, "I have to tell you that I gave you a good pass."Yoo Ki-sang said, "Lee Jae-do always gives (passes) well and creates perfect opportunities (laughs). "When I play with Jae-do, there is something that comes out of my years of experience, unlike when I play with Aeng Jun-seok," he said. "It's helpful for me to tell me a lot that I have to finish the game like this and like this." Lee Jae-do smiled lightly as if he was satisfied.Yoo Ki-sang said, "As I get to play the game, I block each team's main scorer." When I train, I virtually choose (opposite players)," he said. "I have seen all of those players because I have experience in professionals such as Jae-do." "I get help in this area how to effectively stop it and what the player likes."Yoo Ki-sang is recognized for his defense as he plays more games and often blocks his opponent's main guns. He defended Heo Woong (three points) on the day.Yoo Ki-sang said, "If you look at the record from a distance, you can say that I blocked it well, but if you look at it broadly, I missed a lot. LG is famous for allowing at least a point and not giving a point, he said. "Maray and Cunningham point out when I'm wrong. That's how you grow. "The team did a good job of blocking it, not me," he said, lowering himself.Ahead of the match, coach Cho Sang-hyun said, "The same goes for Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang. I scolded him after the D-League. I hope it becomes more intense."Yoo Ki-sang said, "Such things should not be seen again. I had a complacent mind. If I go back (to play in the D-League), I will grow myself by doing 100% with all my power," he said.After winning the home game, LG puts a necklace on Su-hoon. Yoo Ki-sang wore the necklace he wore in the rookie draft once again after being considered a good player on the day.Yoo Ki-sang said, "That's exactly what came to mind. On the other hand, it was good to be able to call again, he recalled the moment, saying, "I just wanted to call more because I had a long way to go."먹튀검증
