LG only played practice games with universities, why?
LG, which had only practice games with universities, faced a professional team for the first time ahead of the opening of this season.
Changwon LG was eliminated from the preliminary round in second place in the group with 1 win and 1 loss in the 2023 MG Saemaeul Geumgo KBL Cup held in Gunsan.
LG has repeatedly lost the second game after winning the first game three times in the cup competition that started in 2020. In 2022, they won two games and advanced to the semifinals. It is meaningful that we get one win every year.
According to an LG official, there were no practice games with domestic professional clubs while preparing for this season.
LG usually played practice games with universities at LG Champions Park in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, and some universities came to Changwon. I also went to the Philippines for field training at the end of September.
LG played against a professional club for the first time in this cup competition.
When asked why LG coach Cho Sang-hyun did not play a practice game with a professional, he said, “We had a practice game with a university. We were in Changwon and all the national team players were missing. “Because I’m in Changwon, it’s the same to go up to the metropolitan area (for a practice match with a pro),” he said. “It didn’t seem meaningful to have a practice match with a pro in August.” Because the opposing team usually uses sixth men, we prepare even senior players starting in August and play practice games. “Then it seemed a little plausible,” he replied.
When told that this was their first time playing against a professional in a cup competition, coach Cho Sang-hyun said, “We should have made changes in defense. “I thought a lot about whether to make a change or not,” he said. “I thought about how to block a small foreign player (foreign forward player) when Marey plays, and how to change the trap when Cunningham goes out (when the opponent’s big man foreign player appears). I hoped that the players would pass without using (the prepared tactics). “I tried not to use many patterns,” he said, saying that he refrained from using tactics like other teams.
With Yoo Sang-sang selected in the rookie draft, LG has abundant available resources. Although Lee Jae-do and Yang Hong-seok did not come to Gunsan due to minor injuries, Lee Seung-woo and Lim Dong-seop were also omitted from the list of players.
LG advanced to the playoffs last season for the first time in a long time. Can coach Cho Sang-hyun, who is recognized as a coach who works hard for his players, lead LG to the playoffs once again?
I am curious what kind of performance LG, which has refrained from practicing games with pros, will receive this season.
