Currently, Lee Jung-hyun is exercising at the point where he does not strain his shoulder, which is the injured area.
Goyang Sono lost 72-92 in the game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis on the 24th, falling to eight consecutive losses. It is naturally the longest consecutive loss of the team since it was founded this season. The losing streak, which started against KT in Suwon on the 5th, was even longer as Lee Jung-hyun, the boy’s breadwinner, left the game against Korea Gas Corporation in Daegu on the 10th due to a shoulder injury.
Sono currently has no turning point to overcome his losing streak. Shooter Jeon Sung-hyun is also playing due to a herniated disc, but his shot balance is not right. He replaced veteran Philippine guard Alex Cabano as his new Asian quarter player, but as a veteran, he is not powerful enough to change the game in a moment. He has lost physical strength in the game and his jumps have decreased compared to his heyday. He also needs to adapt to the league.
Manager Kim Seung-ki is also embarrassed by the long losing streak. After winning two titles, Kim began his career as an acting coach of Anyang KGC (currently the head of the government), and the record of most consecutive losses in his career was seven consecutive losses until he took over Day One in last season. If the average is calculated excluding this season, it was 4.2, which means that the number of consecutive losses was not long.
Eventually, ace Lee Jung-hyun should return. On Monday, manager Kim Seung-ki mentioned the Anyang Jeonggwanjang match, which will take place as early as January 28 at home, as the timing of Lee’s return to the team 월카지노. In an interview on January 17, he said he would return around January 17, after the All-Star break.
“I had a talk with (Lee) Jung-hyun on June 23, and he said he would come back as soon as possible. I think that’s because the team is struggling. I have been exercising so that I don’t strain my shoulders. I think it will be next week at the earliest or the next week at the latest. The next game is against Chung Kwan-jang, and I told him to go to an away game together whether he runs or not. I think he will play from the first game of the fourth round (January 5, 2024, vs. SK) at the latest,” manager Kim Seung-ki said.
Due to poor player composition, even if Lee Jung-hyun returns, it is hard to guarantee that he will escape from losing consecutive games. However, it is true that it is an opportunity to turn the tables.
