In the second game of the NBA playoff final on June 10, Zuru Halladay (Boston Celtics) scored a three-point run to lead off by two-digit points after drawing an error by opposing ace Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) with four minutes left before the end. Boston, which started the series with two consecutive wins, held the trophy 4-1.
Defensive defense is the keyword of the new season of the Korean Basketball Association. As the Korean Basketball Federation (KBL) has declared that it will strictly change its stance, which allowed players to easily engage in physical fight, the pressure on defense will likely increase even more during the game. Which team will lead the league by banking on its strong defense like the defending champion Boston Red Sox.
Busan KCC and Suwon KT will kick off the 2024-25 KBL regular season at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. This marks the beginning of an eight-month long journey between the two teams that faced off in the championship game last season. However, chances are high that KCC will struggle early in the season as Tyler Davis, who was painstakingly brought in, was replaced early due to knee injury, and even Choi Jun-yong injured his soles.
KT will try again to win the league with the forward's defense and Huh Hoon's scoring ability. In the cup competition, Moon Jung-hyun, in his second year, blocked foreign players such as KCC DeYonte Burton and Wonju DB Robert Carter, while Han Hee-won and Moon Sung-gon defended DB's field commander, Lee Sun-bano. At the opening media day of the 2024-25 season on the 15th, KT manager Song Young-jin stressed, "Our forwards can stop any player. If we help each other, it will be a breathtaking defense."
Chinanu Onuaku is the core of DB's defense that is a strong candidate. Based on his strength and height, Onuaku stopped foreign player Leishawn Hammonds of KT with six points and Jeremiah Tillman with eight points in the final round of the Cup on Sunday. He thus overwhelmed his opponent in the competition for the right to provide services by banking on his twin towers with Kim Jong-kyu.
The MVP of the Cup championship was also taken by Onuaku, who played an active part in offense and defense. "Onuaku's understanding of defense tactics under the basket is high. He instructs his teammates directly, which leads to players' organic movements," DB coach Kim Ju-seong said. 토토사이트
Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, which advanced to the semifinals of the Cup with one foreign player (Andrew Nicholson), faced KT on a par with forward pressure. Kang Hyuk, the head coach of Korea Gas Corporation, embarrassed his opponent by ordering players to defend against pressure from the first half. If Kim Nak-hyun and Lee Dae-heon had not been hurt during the game, the result of losing by seven points might have been different. If 211 centimeters tall Yushu Ndoye joins the team, his weaknesses will be partially resolved.
The key is Jung Sung-woo, a transfer player. Jung followed Heo Hoon (six points) as if he were a shadow, preventing him from catching the ball. "All players consider defense more important, but when Jung joined the team, he became more emphasized. As he keeps pressing the striker, his overall defense will improve. Our team's pressure starts with Jung."
