When Byun Jun-hyung was silent, the flow of KGC was also cut off.
Anyang KGC lost 69-77 in the first leg of the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Professional Basketball Championship match held at Anyang Gymnasium on the 25th. KGC announced a difficult start to the series by giving up Game 1 at home.
In KGC, Omari Spellman (24 points, 11 rebounds) and Oh Se-geun (21 points, 16 rebounds) played together and led the game to a close match, but in the end, one shot was not enough. The silence of Lens Abando (4 points, 2 rebounds), which flew wildly whenever he met SK, was also regrettable, but Byun Jun-hyung’s silence was decisive.
Choi Seong-won and Oh Jae-hyeon’s tight defense made his presence insignificant from the first quarter. I couldn’t even try a proper 2v2 attack, and I didn’t even take a lot of time to catch the ball.
The assembly of the game in the pressure defense was also not done properly. When KGC did not come up with a play derived from Byun Jun-hyung, Spellman and Oh Se-geun’s individual skills earned Kkuyeok Kku-yeok points, but this part also had limitations.
Attacks based on individual skills consumed a lot of stamina, and eventually Spellman’s firepower, which had scored 19 points until the first half, stopped at 5 points (YATOO 2/11) in the second half and returned to the average. Oh Se-geun alone scored 11 points, but alone was not enough.
There were two mistakes by Byun Jun-hyung that were marked in the official record. However, he struggled with strong pressure defense and had many unstable plays that were not recorded. In the meantime, the shot attempt following the breakthrough under the goal was blocked by Jameel Warney, and the difficult situation continued.
Byun Jun-hyung’s final record was 11 points (field 4/13), 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in 36 minutes and 31 seconds. Despite his good record, the reason why it looks disappointing is that Kim Seon-hyeong, who was a competitor, led the team to victory 먹튀검증 with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists.
In order for KGC to win, Byun Jun-hyung has to continue the MVP-level performance he showed off during the regular league. Let’s see if Byun Jun-hyung can show his true value again against SK’s powerful defenders in the second game.
