Seoul Samsung, which was called the "famous family" until the mid-2010s, left the disgraceful record of being last for four consecutive seasons for the first time in professional basketball history.
On the 6th, Goyang Sono (18-35) defeated regular league champions Seoul SK 96-71, and Samsung lost 76-84 to Ulsan Hyundai Mobis, confirming Samsung as the lowest place this season.
As of Tuesday, Samsung posted 16 wins and 37 losses. It is the lowest among the 10 teams, but the best among Samsung in the last four seasons.
Samsung had nine wins in the 2021-2022 season and 14 wins in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. This season, however, is the season that recorded the most wins among the past four seasons.
Last season, Samsung was stigmatized as "third consecutive last place" for the first time in professional basketball, which was launched in 1997.
This season, he failed to make a significant turnaround and failed to finish last, only increasing his disgraceful record to "four consecutive seasons."
At one point, Samsung was considered a "famous house" for taking the playoff stage every season.
After coach Ahn Joon-ho took the helm in 2004, he advanced to the PO every time for seven seasons.
He has made it to the championship game three times. He won the trophy in the 2005-2006 season and was the runner-up in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons.
The reason why Samsung, which has passed the good times, is analyzed to be in a "deep quagmire" where it is difficult to come out is because the same pattern of games has been repeated over the past four seasons.
This season, Samsung was far from "fast basketball."
The team ranks eighth among the 10 teams with 3.6 times on average. The teams that are lower than Samsung are Daegu Gas Corporation (3.6 times) ranked fifth and Changwon LG (3.0), both of which are slower but more accurate in their pursuit of basketball.
At the same time, Samsung is also the most unstable team this season. It has the most errors with an average of 12.8.
The problem is that there is no fastball, and many mistakes have been repeated in the past three seasons.
Samsung ranked 9th (3.4), 9th (2.7), 9th (2.8), and 8th (3.6) in four seasons from the 2021-2022 season.
On the contrary, the ranking of errors was 2nd (12.0), 3rd (10.9), 1st (11.7), and 1st (12.8).
Samsung ranks first in errors (11.8) and 10th in fastballs (3.1) among the 10 teams in average throughout these four seasons.
During this period, Samsung did not have any good guards and forwards who were responsible for playing until the finish of the fast attack.
In the free agent (FA) market, there have been talented forwards such as Choi Joon-yong (KCC) and Yang Hong-seok (LG) who grab rebounds directly and then quickly move on to the opponent's court, but Samsung was always pushed back when the funding competition began.
For four seasons, the only FA players Samsung recruited by investing a large amount of money were veteran guards Lee Jung-hyun and Lee Dae-sung, who enjoyed the groundwork rather than the fastball and lost their leap and athletic ability compared to their heyday.
Both players were FA who did not need compensation players or compensation due to their age and history of overseas expansion.
It is difficult to avoid criticism that they passively tried to make changes under the recruitment stance to minimize "bleeding."
Lee Dae-sung is the type of player who tries to drive the ball himself and finish boldly, but he has yet to play a game for Samsung due to an unexpected knee injury ahead of the opening of this season.
Lee Jung-hyun, who has suffered an aging curve since joining Samsung, is ranked first in average errors (2.8) this season, and is not without responsibility for Samsung's "many errors."
Another reason for the failure is that even though "weak fast attacks and frequent mistakes" are repeated for four seasons, they do not bring foreign players with a style to compensate for them. 메이저놀이터
Kofi Coburn, who Samsung used as the core of the attack last season and this season, has excellent height and control under the goal, but is a player with poor mobility and many errors.
Coburn averaged 2.9 errors (3rd) last season. He averaged 2.4 errors (7th) this season.
