Samsung bottom after 2 consecutive losses… Cheong Kwan Jang lost by 24 points in the first game of the season.
(Suwon = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Ki-won = A professional basketball game between Suwon KT Sonic Boom and Seoul Samsung Thunders held at Suwon KT Sonic Boom Arena in Gyeonggi-do on the 20th. Samsung Lee Jeong-hyun is looking for a place to pass. 2024.10.20 [email protected]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-chan = The 2024-2025 professional basketball season began on the 19th, and experts pointed out Wonju DB and Busan KCC as ‘winner candidates’ before the opening.
On the contrary, representative teams expected to show weakness include Seoul Samsung and Anyang Jeong Kwan-Jang.
I heard many comments that Goyang Sono and Daegu Korea Gas Corporation should also aim to advance to the semifinals of the playoffs, but Sono defeated Ulsan Hyundai Mobis on the 20th with Lee Jeong-hyeon scoring 43 points alone.
In addition, Korea Gas Corporation, which achieved above-par results last season under the guidance of coach Kang Hyeok, is also evaluated by the majority as being in a better situation than Samsung or Cheong Kwan-Jang.
On the other hand, Samsung, which suffered the humiliation of being at the bottom for three consecutive years for the first time since the launch of professional basketball in 1997 last season, suffered two consecutive losses and was pushed to the lowest place, 10th, just two days after the opening.
On the 20th, Jeong Kwan-Jang gave up as many as 19 fast breaks to Seoul SK and was completely defeated by 24 points, showing an unstable start to the season.
Samsung has found it difficult for guard Lee Dae-seong, whom Samsung signed as a free agent (FA) ahead of the 2024-2025 season, to play this season due to a knee injury.
On the 19th, they lost against the championship candidate DB, but they were said to have fought relatively well with a score of 83-88. However, on the 20th, they were dragged down by around 10 points by Suwon KT without Ha Yoon-gi, and lost again with a score of 63-72.

Cheong Kwan Jang also lost 71-95 against SK on the 20th, despite Bae Byung-jun’s 22-point effort. Byun Jun-hyung, who is scheduled to join after being discharged in November, is the director’s hope.
This week, Samsung will play a two-game weekend against Korea Gas Corporation on the 26th and SK on the 27th, and will face ‘defending champion’ KCC on the 29th.
Director Jeonggwan meets with Changwon LG on the 24th and DB on the 26th.
IB Sports commentator Lee Gyu-seop said, “Although the season has just started, the early part of the season is more important for a team that was evaluated as ‘weak’ before the opening.” He added, “Samsung looked at the DB game on the 19th and said that the game against KT on the 20th without Ha Yoon-gi was likely to win. “I thought there would be this, but there was a big difference in performance compared to the previous day, which means that the team’s strength itself is still unstable,” he said.
Also, regarding Kwan-Jang Jeong, “Caddy Lahren was a player who was pointed out for problems with trap defense and lack of screen ability when he played for LG or KT in the past. If those issues do not improve, it is questionable to what extent a synergy effect can be created even when Byun Jun-hyung returns.” I expected it.
