Professional basketball's "defending champion" Busan KCC is on the rise despite losing its main players to injuries.

KCC beat Samsung 77-73 in an away game of the 2024-25 KCC professional basketball regular league at Jamsil Gymnasium in Seoul on the 29th.

KCC, which won its first two consecutive games of the season after the match against Wonju DB (77-70 wins) on the 27th, tied for sixth place (3 wins and 3 losses) with Suwon KT.

The ranking is not high yet, but considering KCC's current team composition, the recent rebound is welcome.
KCC had to urgently recruit a substitute as Tyler Davis left the team due to his physical condition ahead of the opening.

With Choi Joon-yong (foot) and Song Kyo-chang (finger) unable to play early in the season due to injuries, the replacement of foreign options was a bad signal.

KCC won the opening match against Suwon KT on the 19th with Huh Woong's performance, but later lost more than 50% of its power as Huh Woong left due to a knee injury.

KCC seemed to be slipping after losing three consecutive games after winning the opening game, but has won two consecutive games with "gum basketball."

In the DB match, Lee Ho-hyun, Jeon Joon-beom, and Kim Dong-hyun, who do not have large names, completely played the backup role and won the game, and Dionte Burton, Lee Ho-hyun, and Lee Seung-hyun also laughed against Samsung.

The secret to KCC's success in winning consecutive games overcoming bad news lies in "minimizing mistakes."

KCC, which had stable operation with six errors in the match against Samsung, recorded only three in the match against Samsung. This is about one fourth of Samsung's total, which committed 12.

The small number of errors means that backup resources have not made much mistakes and have performed stable game management.

KCC, which is holding up well with backup resources, expects to create greater synergy when Huh Woong, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong return after mid-November.

The main variable is a tight schedule. KCC, the champion of last season, must play both the regular league and the East Asian Super League. 메이저사이트

In November, there is an A-match break designated by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), so other teams can take a break, but KCC has to play EASL away games on November 6th (Macao) and 13th (Philippines), respectively.

KCC, which already has few available resources, is very worried because there are many games to play. It seems that the manager's "muse of management" is needed by giving proper motivation to the players who are the main players of the current team with many injuries and managing their condition.
