“We have to be in the top 4 of the regular league.”
The goal of the winning coach was simple. Of course, the real goal is to advance to the championship game and win. However, the regular league goal is to enter the top 4. There was a reason. It’s because of the tight schedule. A 10-game away series awaits in the early stages, and the East Asian Super League (EASL) must also be played.
SK coach Jeon Hee-cheol said before the practice game at the U.S. training camp on the 14th (Korean time), “The evaluation of being a candidate for the championship is really not good. There is no team that has done well after receiving such an evaluation. I feel more burdened than I expected.” He added, “I only have shortcomings.” “I can see it, but if people around me say that, it’s bound to be a burden. Confidence comes only when the season starts. You’ll get a feel for it when you play the first round,” he said.
He continued, “It’s not that there aren’t enough members. However, Ahn Young-jun is missing in the beginning, and Oh Se-geun is also working on his body. Kim Seon-hyung also participated in the Asian Games and is returning. He is a key domestic player, but there is no time to combine the three,” he said. “The first home game of the first round. “Afterwards, we will play 10 consecutive away games. We also have to go to Okinawa, Japan in the EASL. We have to play at least 60 games (54 regular league games), and if we move up to the EASL, we can go to 62 games or even 64 games. That’s what I’m worried about,” he added.
This is why the regular league goal was to enter the top 4. Coach Jeon Hee-cheol waved his hand, but SK is a strong contender for the title. Choi Jun-yong left for KCC, but free agent Oh Se-geun was recruited. Height has been added to the speed that SK boasts. In addition, Ahn Young-jun will also join in mid-November after completing his military service (full-time reserve).
Coach Jeon Hee-cheol emphasized, “We have to go to the championship match. However, the schedule for the regular season is so tight, so I think we have to be in the top 4.”먹튀검증
SK ranked first in fast attacks for two seasons after coach Jeon Hee-cheol took office. He completed an average of 6.9 fast breaks per game in his first season and 5.9 fast breaks last season. The team color does not change even with the addition of Oh Se-geun. The 2023-2024 season continues.
Coach Jeon Hee-cheol said, “Team colors are created because of the players. However, we will pursue fast basketball,” and added, “(Thanks to Oh Se-geun), our set plays have become stronger. Still, we will not slow down our speed. We also asked Oh Se-geun to play one fast break per game. “I plan to make more than five fast breaks this season as well,” he said.
