The passion of Lee Dae-heon (196cm, F) also faded.
Daegu Korea Gas Corporation lost to Changwon LG 102-108 in the regular 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot professional basketball league held at the Daegu Indoor Gymnasium on the 8th. All 5 matches against LG in the 2022-2023 season. They also lost all of their last 6 games. With a record of 13 wins and 25 losses, it is two games behind Seoul Samsung (11 wins, 27 losses), the lowest place.
After the end of the 2020-2021 season, Korea Gas Corporation conducted a trade with Wonju DB. Veteran guard Park Chan-hee (191cm, G) and Kang Sang-jae (200cm, F) from Sangmu were sent to the DB. Kang Sang-jae’s departure was a planned scenario.
However, Jeong Hyo-geun (200cm, F) injured his anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a practice match against Seoul SK in August 2021. Season out due to rupture. It was an unexpected development for Korea Gas Corporation.
Lee Dae-heon was like that too. But he was well aware of the burden placed on him. He knew what to do first. He concentrated on the dirty work as best he could. As a result, he grabbed the most rebounds since his debut.
When Korea Gas Corporation was competing for a playoff ticket, Lee Dae-heon’s presence shone. He didn’t spare himself for a single loose ball. Although he met the bad news of Corona 19 later than others, Lee Dae-heon continued to show his fighting spirit. Korea Gas Corporation director Yoo Do-hoon also found Lee Dae-heon’s fighting spirit encouraging.
As Lee Dae-heon stayed silent, Korea Gas Corporation played its first playoff. For the first time in 15 years, Daegu presented spring basketball to Daegu fans.
Lee Dae-heon’s 2022-2023 season is different from the 2021-2022 season. Lee Dae-seong (190cm, G) joined the team and Jung Hyo-geun returned, so Lee Dae-heon does not focus only on the bottom of the goal. He does the basics, but he shoots from multiple areas. He cares about creating offensive space.
Nevertheless, Korea Gas Corporation’s performance was not good. Lee Dae-heon also had quite a few days off due to injury. Moreover, KOGAS has lost all of its recent 5 games. Lee Dae-heon’s burden is greater than ever.
Lee Dae-heon had to widen his defensive range at the beginning of the game. It is because Jeong Hee-jae (196cm, F) is a resource that can throw even 3 points. However, Lee Dae-heon followed Jeong Hee-jae well. In the attack, he struggled with Jung Hee-jae. Jeong Hee-jae’s fouls and fatigue accumulated.
He beat Jeong Hee-jae with a ballless move and an instant fake. Assem Marey (202cm, C) attempted a layup before assisting. Although it missed, it led to the second chance point of Devon Scott (200cm, F).
However, Lee Dae-heon suddenly stepped back to the bench. Back pain after attempting a layup. Even after he withdrew to the bench he couldn’t sit down. He lay down and was treated by a trainer. It looked pretty serious.
Fortunately, there was a replacement. This is Jeong Hyo-geun. I caught Scott’s pass well in the paint zone. Lee Dae-heon also happened in the meantime. I was listening to the operation of KOGAS director Yoo Do-hoon on the bench.
However, Lee Dae-heon could not step on the court. The pain seemed severe. Jeong Hyo-geun had to keep going. He tried to ease the burden on Murphy Holloway (196cm, F) by participating in a defensive rebound. He also added to the quick attack with the trailer. To some extent he did his share. Lee Dae-heon filled the empty spot well.
And Lee Dae-heon entered the court again. He steadily played the ball-free screen, and steadily moved to an empty place after the screen. The 3-point shot he made 1 minute and 40 seconds before the end of the second quarter also came out of that process.
4 seconds before the end of the 2nd quarter, after getting a loose ball, the corner jumper was successful. He scored the last goal of the game in the second quarter. Even though he only played 3 minutes and 2 seconds in the 2nd quarter, he showed high efficiency with 5 points. Korea Gas Corporation also finished the first half with a score of 50-49.
Lee Dae-heon also stepped on the court in the third quarter. He had a spot fight with Jeong Hee-jae, or came out of the 3-point line. He also created a three-point opportunity for Cha Rock (190cm, G) with a screen without a ball. Despite his poor health, he performed well. 토토사이트
When Korea Gas Corporation’s chances of winning a loose ball were high, Lee Dae-heon jumped forward. After dotting the LG paint zone first, he easily scored on his teammate’s pass. He did his share for 7 minutes in the 3rd quarter.
Nevertheless, KOGAS finished the third quarter with a score of 74-82. Height and bottom defense were strengthened. The reason why Lee Dae-heon went out with Jeong Hyo-geun and Murphy Holloway. Nevertheless, Korea Gas Corporation could not stop Marey. Even after 3 minutes and 12 seconds after the start of the fourth quarter, they were pushed back to 82-91.
Lee Dae-heon’s concentration and tenacity were quite strong. He landed a jumper from the left corner and flew to the bench for a loose ball.
However, KOGAS lost the power to turn around due to Jeong In-deok (196cm, F)’s 3-point, 3-bang. Jeong Hyo-geun succeeded in 3 points following 102-104, but KOGAS lost again. Even though Lee Dae-heon recorded 12 points, 5 rebounds (attack 1), 1 assist and 1 steal in 25 minutes and 48 seconds, Lee Dae-heon’s enthusiasm faded. He fell into the swamp of a six-game losing streak with his teammates.
