Until last season, the powerful offense disappeared. The hot outer artillery, which was a long-term organ, decreased and was hit hard. Defending champion Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang has been struggling since the beginning of the season.
Jeong Kwan-jang lost 75-86 in the 2023-2024 professional basketball home game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium on the 31st of last month. Jeong Kwan-jang, who seemed to rebound from Suwon KT after losing the opening game against Seoul SK, failed to continue his momentum and collapsed once again.
Last season alone, Jeong Kwan-jang boasted his excellent attack ability to rank third 82.0 on average after SK and Hyundai Mobis. However, he has been at the bottom with an average of 70.7 points in three games since the opening of this season. It is also about three points different from KT 73.5 points, which is the top ranking.
The biggest reason why Jeong Kwan-jang's offense has weakened is the power of the remarkably weakened three-point shot. Jeong Kwan-jang made an average of 8.9 three-pointers per game last season, ranking second overall. It also ranked second with a 33.9 percent success rate. The driving force behind Jeong Kwan-jang's victory in the regular league, the championship game, and the East Asian Super League EASL was a three-point shot.
However, this season, he is at the bottom of both categories with an average of 4.7 three-point shots per game and a 22.2% success rate. Even though he played only three games, he is very concerned.
In fact, it was somewhat expected. Ahead of this season, Oh Se-geun SK and Moon Sung-gon KT, the main players of last season's integrated championship, were transferred as free agents. On top of that, Byun Joon-hyung, a "field commander," joined the military. And Omari Spellman, a foreign player with a reputation for attack, was diagnosed with a left shin fracture early last month and will not be able to play for seven weeks. 토토사이트
With all the clear scorers gone, it became easier for the opponent to defend against Jeong Kwan-jang. As there are no players who will lead the opponent's defense, chances are rarely created on the outskirts. He ranked second last season 26.4 in average three-point shooting attempts per game, but the number has decreased significantly to 21.0 this season. Many of the three-point shots that even try are "tough shots" thrown in situations where there is defense. In the match against Hyundai Mobis, he only succeeded by throwing 22 three-point shots.
Head coach Kim Sang-sik knows the problem well, but he is worried that there is no solution. Coach Kim said, "Three-point shots have a big problem with concentration. However, some of us don't throw too many shots, he said. "It's very difficult to create a chance because all our players are being marked one-on-one."
