Professional basketball Anyang KGC’s 2022-23 season’Triple Crown (three crowns)’ was all the more valuable because it was a reversal that overturned everyone’s expectations.

Even before the season, there were few eyes predicting that KGC would win. Even at the opening media day, he did not receive a single vote as a candidate for the championship. The attention of the 10 club commanders was focused on Suwon KT and Seoul SK. KGC, which reached the championship match (champion match) for two consecutive seasons, was something that could have hurt its pride.

The departure of coach Kim Seung-gi and ace Jeon Seong-hyun. This was the biggest reason why KGC did not receive attention even after winning and runner-up previously. The appointment of coach Kim Sang-sik (55), who had no clear results on the professional stage, and the clear failure to fill the position where Jeon Seong-hyun was missing made KGC not to be classified as a strong team. 

However, the result was the opposite. The wire-to-wire championship that kept first place in the regular league throughout the season, the first East Asian Super League (EASL) champion, and even the championship championship. KGC’s Triple Crown, which rewrote the history of professional basketball, was even more meaningful. Recently advanced to the championship game for three consecutive seasons in professional basketball and won twice. It was also a great achievement that opened the era of the KGC dynasty.

Director Kim Sang-sik erased doubts about leadership with praised leadership and perseverance. He led the national team, but there were concerns about his lack of achievements as a professional coach, but coach Kim responded with a record of winning three tournaments.

He led the players with leadership different from previous coach Kim Seung-gi. It was a style that saved the players’ autonomy and encouraged the players’ will with praise rather than reprimand during the game. In addition, the dependence on a specific player was reduced by putting forward a motion offense based on the players’ organic movements and passes. In the championship game, he confronted SK’s irregular lineup with perseverance, saying, “We will focus on what we are good at,” and eventually led to the championship.

Thanks to this, the players continued to perform evenly. In particular, Yang Hee-jong and Oh Se-geun, who were about to retire, took the center of the players as veterans and responded with their ageless skills on the court. Oh Se-geun even won the MVP award for the third time in his personal career.

Byun Jun-hyeong took his place as the team’s ace after the successive departures of Lee Jae-do and Jeon Seong-hyeon, and Omari Spellman and Moon Seong-gon also played their part with their strong defense and strong presence across the inside and outside, respectively. Darryl Monroe, who played a decisive role in the championship match, as well as Lens Abando, Bae Byung-jun, and Jung Jun-won, were also supporting actors who contributed to the team’s victory as a sixth man.메이저사이트

Support from the club level has also been added, with the owner Heo Chul-ho visiting the stadium frequently to encourage the players. Players were also provided with red ginseng products throughout the season. It is rumored that it was upgraded to a premium product after advancing to the playoffs.

Immediately after winning the championship, Oh Se-geun said, “It is true that no one said we were a candidate for the championship or a strong team, but all the players worked hard in their respective positions. It is very valuable to win the championship by playing until the 7th game.” 

Coach Kim Sang-sik also said, “I didn’t feel good when I was classified as mid-tier before the season. I am thrilled with myself, and I am grateful that the players and staff of the club created the conditions for them to do well.”
