Veteran Lee Kwan-hee of Wonju DB, who was competing with Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang for a ticket to the professional basketball semifinal playoff (PO), promised to soothe Chinanu Onuaku and make him focus on the game.
After winning the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball regular league against Busan KCC 84-76 at Wonju Gymnasium in Gangwon Province on the 6th, Lee Kwan-hee said in an interview with a broadcaster about the Jeonggwanjang match scheduled for the 8th, "There will be no game in my basketball life that is so desperate."
He declared war on the articles of association, saying, "I will squeeze out all the red ginseng in the room and play in the last game."
The seventh-ranked DB, which won 23-30 on the day, narrowed the gap with sixth-ranked Jeong Kwan-jang (24-29) to one game.
DB will face Jeong Kwan-jang in the final regular league match on the 8th to determine the winner of the last six PO tickets.
Lee Kwan-hee, who predicted that main gun Omari Spellman, who failed to play against KCC due to an injury to his shin, is likely to be unable to play in the match with Jeong Kwan-jang, said, "It will be important how much Jung Hyo-geun and Kang Sang-jae can control Dionte Burton."
"I will try to soothe Onuaku well and play hard in this game. I will do my best," he added.
Big man Onuaku, who boasts the highest KBL height, is being criticized by fans for not playing his best during the game in the DB as he played for Goyang Sono last season.
Asked if he could communicate well with Onuaku, Lee Kwan-hee said, "It's not working well. It would be nice if it works out well, but I think the problem of foreign players is also the fault of Korean players," adding, "If we had saved him more and communicated more, Onuaku would have done better."
"Kwan Chung is definitely qualified to play in the PO, but I think it's better for us when it comes to players," Lee Kwan-hee said. "If we don't make it, we are in a more embarrassing situation. We will definitely win." 카지노
Meanwhile, Lee Kwan-hee also expressed his sorry for center Lee Won-seok, who was the target of his rough foul in a match against Seoul Samsung on the 30th of last month.
Lee Kwan-hee said, "I also called him sorry. He said it's okay because it can happen during the game," adding, "I think I went too far. I will buy him a meal after the season is over."
