"I get scolded by coaches for giving me compliments. That's not how I feel. I'm trying to do better."
Changwon LG won the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball match against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation at Daegu Gymnasium on the 26th by 31 points, 85-54.
LG, which has won six consecutive games, has secured 11 wins and 10 losses to rank fifth. It is one game behind Gas Corporation (12-9).
As evidenced by the loss, the team won the game through defense. On top of that, the team continued its winning streak thanks to its offense led by Asem Marei.
The following is the question and answer of LG manager Cho Sang-hyun at the press conference.
victory speech
I'm worried about the comfortable play in the first half, but I want to praise the players for playing the defense in the direction I want. We were lucky because Gas Corporation's two-point shooting success rate was 38% (15/40), so we took the lead.
Was LG's defense good?
It's the direction that I'm good at defense and I'm not good at. I have a lot of defensive orders, and when Nicholson and Ndoye play, I change the defense system. I wanted to reduce the probability there, but the players went in that direction well. They kept things like who to give the shot and whether to go to the rotation or not. The defense also gave the atmosphere of the offense.
Unlike at the beginning of the season, the defense was revived when it won six consecutive games.
When it comes to defense, it constantly orders Tamayo to play too many games. After all, defense is determined by will and direction. Players followed suit and struggled (shoots) or played switch defense, and such things happened well today (26th). Compared to the beginning of this season, existing players such as Yoo Ki-sang, Jeong In-deok, and Yang Jun-seok will focus on Maray. I entrusted the defense of Nicholson to Tamayo. I asked him to play a two-point game without giving a three-point shot, but that turned out well.
Does Tamayo seem to have adapted to Korean basketball?
Because he is a young player, he has some difficulties in concentration. Depending on the atmosphere in the middle, I hope he can correct the complacent play that goes on when the game doesn't go well or when the game goes well. I think the more you get to know the opponent's tendencies, the more you will adapt to the league.
When asked about the intention of always complimenting the player, he also mentions the complementary points.
I talk to the players. I'm stingy with compliments and may be bad at expressing myself, but I'm doing this for my team. Taking this opportunity, I can't really compliment (in other words), and I get scolded by coaches for asking me to praise (players). That's not how I feel. I'm trying to do better. The players who have been with me for two years will know about me. Rather than compliments, I ask coaches and senior players to give me more compliments so that I can go in the direction that the team wants. I try to change little by little, but it doesn't change every day. I'll try, too (laughs).
Are you satisfied with the Tamayo play?
"I am satisfied with some aspects. What is clear is that we need to grow further. I hope (Tamayo) is not satisfied. He is a good player and a member of the national team in the Philippines. He devoted his affection to the team when he was brought in, so I believe he should do better and do better.
A long way to go, but weapons to differentiate themselves in the playoffs
Jeon Sung-hyun played a little in the second half, but he will go with the old frame. Sung-hyun or Doo Kyung-min's physical condition did not come up to my expectations. I hope Sung-hyun or Kyung-min will return to 90% of his condition. If that happens, our team's players will be thicker and I can use it more. It will be easy for me to run if the players who did a little bad play and improve their skills through the D-League. If you don't get injured after playing like these days, you will be able to compete. 안전놀이터
What are you sad about or lacking while winning 6 games in a row
Jeong Kwan-jang, Gyeonggi-do, and today's game also have weak concentration among young players. I'm sure he'll grow a little more. Jun-seok is good, but I want young players such as Gae-gi and In-deok to play more pick games. The players take the shooting condition of the day, and I take the direction. There is nothing to say about defense. He is too good. I hope he will reduce his ridiculous mistakes earlier.
Even after the match is decided, Lee Kyung-do is good then.
Sung-hyun, too, is wearing a uniform, and you have to do your best until the whistle blows. This is not the old era. Players are judged on the court. Where is garbage time, where is Six Men? They are judged on the time they played. If you think like that, players should change their mind. I don't think there is garbage time. Any player who goes into the court has to do their best, and the fans want that, and our team wants that.
