11 points in the 3rd round of the PO against KTIt's the first time in 10 years that I'm going to the championship
Changwon LG is close to advancing to the KBL championship game for the first time in 10 years. There is a myth in the sports world that a team can win only when a so-called "crazy player" is selected in a short-term game such as the playoffs. LG's "secret weapon" was six-man Yoon Won-sang.
LG will challenge to advance to the championship in its fourth game of the 2023-2024 KBL semifinal PO three wins out of five against the Suwon KT at KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on Tuesday. With two wins and one loss in the series, LG will advance to the championship for the first time since the 2013-2014 season if it adds one more win. A decade ago, LG advanced to the championship after winning the regular league title, but was lagging behind Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in second place.
The third game between LG and KT on Tuesday was a watershed moment for the series' victory. The two teams had exchanged wins and losses until the second game. After one win and one loss in the semifinal PO, the winning team in the third game has a 90.5 percent chance of advancing to the championship game 19 out of 21.
After being pushed back by KT throughout the game, LG had a last-minute chase. The winner was Yoon Won-sang. With the score tied at 73-73, Yoon scored a three-point buzzer-beater like a scene from a cartoon right before the game ended, leading the team to come from behind to win the game. Yoon, who was responsible for the winning score, scored 11 points including three three-point shots, the second most in his team after Asem Maray 25 points, 23 rebounds, a foreign player.
Yoon Won-sang, who is entering his fourth season since his professional debut, has been a secret weapon of LG. When rookie Yoo Ki-sang made his debut this season, he played 18 games in the regular season, and only played 10 minutes and 29 seconds. Up until last season, he played in all games for more than 25 minutes and added 6.4 points three-point shots on average. 토토사이트 순위
Yoon, who was looking for a chance to play, displayed his full potential and skills when he stepped on the court at the PO stage. "I think what I've always been preparing for has resulted in a good result," Yoon said. "I'm full of physical strength because it's been a long time since I played. I'll run more and help my team."
LG, along with KT and Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, remains a club that has not won the championship cup in the KBL.
