SK has never lost to Samsung since the home game on December 6, 2022 (83-76).

This season, they have won all 5 games.

SK, which won 25 wins and 15 losses, beat 4th place Changwon LG (25 wins, 16 losses) by half a game and rose to 3rd place, continuing the fierce competition for the top rankings at the end of the season.

Samsung (8 wins), which suffered its 33rd loss, has further reduced its chances of escaping last place.

If we finish last this season, we will have the disgrace of being last for three consecutive seasons.

Before this game, Samsung, which had been on the rise by recording 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 games against powerhouses such as Busan KCC and LG, finished the first half with a score of 35-35 and showed an unrivaled performance against SK.

It was SK's main gun Jamil Warney who broke Samsung's momentum.

Warney, who scored 19 points in the first half alone, hit two 3-pointers in less than a minute as Samsung, led by 210cm tall center Kofi Coburn, ran away with a 5-point lead in the early third quarter.

On this day, when Warney exploded on the outside, Samsung acting manager Kim Hyo-beom brought in Ismael Lane in place of Coburn, whose weak point was defense on the outside.

However, Heo Il-young hit two 3-pointers in the third quarter, and SK ran away with a double-digit score for the first time at the end of the third quarter.

Samsung pursued until the last minute, led by Coburn, who scored 16 points in the fourth quarter alone, but the score gap was too large to turn the game around.

In SK, Warney, who hit five 3-pointers, was recorded as the highest scorer with 30 points.

Veteran shooter Heo Il-young also added 28 points, scoring both inside and outside, including five 3-pointers.

At Samsung, Coburn played hard with 28 points and 10 rebounds, but was disappointed by his poor performance on the outside.

Samsung threw 23 3-pointers on this day, but only 5 hit the rim.

Suwon KT defeated Anyang Jeonggwanjang 90-77 at home and won 5 games in a row.

KT, with 27 wins and 13 losses, has increased its chances of finishing second in the regular league.

In professional basketball, the 1st and 2nd place teams advance directly to the semifinals PO without going through the semifinal playoffs (PO).

The gap with 3rd place SK is 2 games.

On the other hand, 8th place Cheong Kwan Jang (13 wins, 27 losses) suffered 6 consecutive losses.

Cheong Kwan-Jang succeeded in reducing the score gap that widened to 21 points in the early third quarter to 5 points in the middle of the fourth quarter.

However, about 6 minutes before the end of the game, Jeong Hyo-geun missed an easy goal shot and the 3-pointer he threw again fell without even passing the rim, leading to KT's fast break and losing momentum in the chase.

In the next attack, Paris Bass made a cool dunk shot, and KT ran away with a double-digit score again, putting the game on hold.

In KT, Bass took the lead in victory with 41 points and 16 rebounds.

Domestic players such as Ha Yoon-ki (13 points), Jeong Seong-woo (11 points), and Han Hee-won (10 points) also played their part.

Wonju DB also won 89-74 at home, putting 9th place Goyang Sono (13 wins, 28 losses) in the throes of a 6-game losing streak.

DB, with 32 wins and 10 losses, took the lead by maintaining the gap with 2nd place KT at 4 games.

‘Double Four’ Didric Lawson and Kang Sang-jae scored 21 points and 7 rebounds and 20 points and 11 rebounds, respectively, to get under Sono’s goal.

Center Jeff Withey also recorded 15 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 blocks, keeping DB under goal.

In Sono, the guard team worked hard, with Lee Jeong-hyun recording 20 points and 6 assists, and Han Ho-bin and Kim Ji-hoo adding 12 and 10 points, but they were greatly outclassed by DB in the big man battle.

Combining the forward and center, only Chinanu Onuaku did his part with 15 points and 9 rebounds, but no one else scored in double digits.

Advice From 39-Year-Old Shooter Heo Il-young... “If you’re going to Shoot Without Confidence, Sit on the Bench”

A 28-point explosion, including 3 points and 5 hits against Samsung... Look at Taejong Moon’s record of playing until he was 43 years old.

Heo Il-young is ranked third in age in professional basketball.

Ham Ji-hoon of Ulsan Hyundai Mobis was born in 1984 and is the oldest player this season. 바카라사이트

Next are Woo-seop Yang and Il-young Heo of Seoul SK.

Both were born in 1985, but Yang Woo-seop has an earlier birthday.

Heo Il-young has already become a veteran among veterans, but his ‘fingertips’ are still alive.

Heo Il-young, who left the team due to injury in early December last year, returned to the court this month.

He scored 17 points in the home game against Anyang CheongKwanJang on the 10th, and scored 28 points in the away game against Seoul Samsung on the 11th.

Janggi 3-pointer also hit 5 shots.

Heo Il-young, who is in his 15th season in professional basketball, expressed the idea that a professional player must step onto the court with confidence.

Heo Il-young, who met with reporters at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul immediately after beating Samsung 80-70, said, “I don't go in when I don't have confidence.

Whether I go in or not, I have to throw first. If a player can't throw, it's right to sit on the bench instead of running.” He emphasized.

Heo Il-young said, “Now that I have more years of experience, I can see what other players are like.

Everyone can tell when they go in well and when they don’t,” and added, “There are players who are confident even though they didn’t go in, and there are players who are hesitant even though they made a shot before.

“I wish that wasn’t the case,” he said.

He added, “If you don't go in, you can go out (to the bench) and come back in and throw.”

Heo Il-young chose his teammate Oh Jae-hyun as a player who shoots with confidence in practice.

Jaehyun Oh has been criticized for his weak shooting since he entered the professional ranks.

Unlike other players, he had a unique shooting posture in which he twisted his body to shoot, so he received many doubts as to whether he could correct it.

However, the player who participated in the All-Star Game 3-point contest as the ‘SK representative shooter’ this season was Oh Jae-hyun.

Oh Jae-hyeon won a ticket to the finals, which was given to only 4 out of 13 contestants in the 3-point contest preliminary round, and proudly got rid of the label of 'weak shooting.'

Heo Il-young praised Jae-hyeon, saying, “It seems like Jae-hyun has overcome (lack of confidence) well.

I can see that he has gained confidence when shooting in contests as well.”

Regarding Oh Jae-hyeon's unique shooting posture, he said, “I don't care about posture.

Even in American professional basketball, there are many players who have poor shooting posture but are good at shooting,” and repeatedly emphasized, “Confidence is important.”

Heo Il-young, who only wanted to play until he was 40, is said to have revised his original goal.

He looks over the records of Taejong Moon.

Shooter Taejong Moon, born to an American father and a Korean mother, began playing in Korean professional basketball in the 2010-2011 season and played for 9 seasons until the 2018-2019 season.

He played until the age of 43.

Heo Il-young said, “As long as I take good care of my body, there will be no problem.

Even then, if I am competitive, I still have the desire to play.” Heo Il-young said, “Now, I am no longer excluded from the team because I am older, as I used to be.

Coach Jeon Hee-cheol also said that he will not judge based on age.” He said.

He smiled and said, “Honestly, it's hard.

The day after the game, my whole body feels sore, starting from my waist.

If I don't get greedy and play without getting injured, there will be a team looking for me and I want to do that for one more year.”
