Carrot Goyang, a ‘newborn’ in professional basketball, meets ‘natural enemy’ Suwon KT at the crossroads of leaping to the top.
As of the 25th, Carrot is in 5th place with 18 wins and 16 losses. There is a slight difference with the leader Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation by 5.5 games, but it is 2.5 games with Changwon LG in 2nd place, 2 games with Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in 3rd place, and 1.5 games with Seoul SK in 4th place. This is thanks to the 5-game winning streak before the defeat against SK on the 23rd despite the cluttered team atmosphere.
Carrot, whose rising trend has been broken, meets his natural enemy. Carrot will play a 4th round away match against KT at Suwon KT Arena at 7:00 pm on the 27th. KT remains in 7th place with 14 wins and 19 losses this season, but has shown a particularly strong appearance in Carrot. In three matches this season, Carrot is inferior with 1 win and 2 losses. I recently lost in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. In particular, in the third confrontation on the 1st, KT Han Hee-won blocked Seong-hyun Jeon, the main gun, and lost by 13 points.
Team atmosphere is good. Jeon Seong-hyun only scored 3 points against Wonju DB on the 19th, but he showed off his strength by scoring more than 20 points again against KGC and against SK. Didric Lawson is also showing off his peak skills with an average of 25.2 points in the last 5 games. New foreign player Jonathan Alledge is raising his scoring pace, and veteran Kim Kang-seon also raised his average score from 2.5 points at the beginning of the season to 6.1 points in January. 안전놀이터
Also, it is a good thing for Carrot that KT, which showed a steep rise with six consecutive wins during the year-end and New Year holidays, has recently fallen into a swamp of sluggishness. KT is sluggish with 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 games due to severe ups and downs of key players and Dave Ildefonso, who was recruited as the Asian quarter, not living up to expectations. In particular, the opponent has been sluggish in recent rebounds, so it is optimal for Carrot to use his unique ‘archery basketball’.
In addition, in the head-to-head match between the two teams, there is a jinx of losing at home and winning on the road, so it is an advantage to be able to shake off the burden of the away game. Attention is focused on whether Carrot, who is in dire need of a win against KT to re-enter the top ranks, will continue the uptrend that was cut off after 5 consecutive wins, or whether it will fall to the bottom due to consecutive losses.
