Goyang Sono Skygunus successfully rebounded despite a difficult back-to-back schedule, rekindling the hope of entering the top six. At the center is Lee Jung-hyun (27 years old), the “ace” who leads the team in both offense and defense.
Goyang Sono won the fifth round home match against Korea Gas Corporation 80-62 at the Goyang Sono Arena in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the 1st. Although it was delayed until the first half, the lead was maintained after the game was reversed in the third quarter.
With this victory, Sono got rid of the regret of a 59-79 away defeat against the Seoul SK Knights on January 31, and achieved an upward momentum of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 games.
On that day, Sono had a somewhat tight schedule until the second quarter, and overall the players’ bodies showed a heavy state, but starting from the third quarter, they turned the situation around with strong defense and energy level, and won a big victory. Lee Jung-hyun, who ran 32 minutes and 58 seconds that day and scored 25 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, was the protagonist of the victory. Scored 22 points in the second half alone, showing concentration.
Lee Jung-hyun, who received an official interview as a decorated player, breathed a sigh of relief and said, “We did not suffer a losing streak. It is a reward to change the atmosphere with victory again.” He went on to review the game and said, “In fact, in the first half, the concentration on offense and defense decreased, and the balance and rhythm were poor.”
He also pointed out: “We found a breakthrough through the screen of new foreign aid Igidius Motzkavicius.” Lee Jung-hyun said, “Thanks to the high-quality screen played by Igidius, it was difficult for the defenders to keep up. As a result, there was a good space. These parts seemed to be an opportunity to find the state and rhythm of the second half.”
Sono’s attention will turn to the home match against Busan KCC Egis on the 4th. Sono currently ranks 7th with a 3.5-game gap between Sono and KCC. When KCC plays Seoul SK on the 2nd, it is possible that they will play SK with a gap of three games. If Sono can win the 4th game, the gap between the two games will be reduced to 2 games. Depending on the result of this game, it will be decided whether to prepare for the top six or to gradually drift away, so it is evaluated as being close to the watershed of the season.
Lee Jung-hyun said, “Our players have not given up on the top 6 yet. They always try their best.” From a certain point of view, I think the game against the KCC team is very important. Therefore, you should rest well and prepare well for the rest of the schedule. You must defeat your opponents and save the flames of entering the top six. “
Whether SONO can capture KCC according to the determination of “ace” Lee Jung-hyun and write a dramatic reversal story for spring basketball has attracted the attention of fans.
