Lee Jung-hyun, the ‘Geumgang Buddha’, becomes smaller when he meets only the poisonous Gas Corporation.
Seoul Samsung lost 66-89 in the 5th round of the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Professional Basketball Daegu Korea Gas Corporation held at Jamsil Gymnasium on the 18th. They lost by 23 points and missed the opportunity to rise to a tie for ninth place.
Samsung has only won one win against KOGAS this season. Since the first confrontation in the first round on October 23rd, they have lost 4 straight times.안전놀이터 From the point of view of Samsung, which is chasing the 9th place KOGAS, the sluggishness of Lee Jung-hyun is the most painful.
Lee Jung-hyun is averaging 11.9 points and 3.9 assists this season, and is struggling even in difficult situations for the team. His field goal success rate is 32.2%, which is the lowest since his debut, but despite the bad conditions of successive injuries to his teammates and the replacement of all foreign players, he did not waver and firmly held the center of the team. However, it becomes smaller when it meets only toxic gas construction.
Lee Jung-hyun is recording 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 28 minutes against KOGAS. If you look at the match records against 9 teams excluding Samsung, it is the next lowest score when facing Ulsan Hyundai Mobis. In particular, when facing Gas Corporation at Jamsil Gymnasium, they scored in single digits with an average of 7.5 points. It is an activity that does not live up to Lee Jung-hyun’s reputation.
On this day, he also recorded 8 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in 25 minutes and 53 seconds. He attempted 9 field goals, only 3 of which cut the rim. I couldn’t do enough of the role that the ace was supposed to do, and I had to watch the team lose.
From the beginning, Lee Jung-hyun struggled with KOGAS’ defense. He couldn’t even try his outside shots due to Cha Ba-bae’s strong defense, and every time he tried to break through, Woo Dong-hyeon and Lee Dae-heon’s help came back, and even this went back to nothing. In the end, Lee Jung-Hyun tried only two field goals in 12 minutes and 51 seconds in the first half, but all failed and ended up scoreless. With a court margin of -16 points, he withdrew from the court.
Even in the second half, Lee Jung-hyun’s fingertips were cold. Lee Jung-hyun tried his first three-point shot with 6 minutes and 3 seconds left in the third quarter, but it split the air without even reaching the rim. In response, director Eun Hee-seok immediately called the operation time. Afterwards, Lee Jung-hyun, who took the zero point, scored his first goal with a quick break, but finished the third quarter without scoring a follow-up.
Lee Jung-hyun raised his momentum by succeeding in scoring on a quick break following a steal in the 4th quarter. Then, with a successful 3-point shot, he even got a free throw, narrowing the game that was once up to 23 points to 10 points. However, the pursuit of Lee Jung-hyun and Samsung did not continue. Lee Jung-hyun was silent again for the remaining 5 minutes, and could not prevent the team from losing by 23 points.
Samsung is struggling to escape from the bottom. Samsung, which caught up with the ninth-placed gas corporation by one game, lost again by two games. In order not to suffer the disgrace of being at the bottom for two consecutive years, we have to somehow catch up with the two-game difference. In order to do that, Lee Jung-hyun’s rebound is absolutely necessary.
Lee Jung-hyun’s season has been exceptionally cold and long. Especially when he met Gas Corporation. But if he’s the ace of a team, he has to overcome it all. And because Lee Jung-hyun has overcome countless trials so far, he is proudly called an ace. Let’s pay attention to what Lee Jung-hyun will do in the final confrontation of the regular season against KOGAS in Jamsil on March 27th.
