Reason
This season of regular league champion Wonju DB ended in the semifinals.
Wonju DB lost 63-80 in the fourth playoff game against Busan KCC in the 2023-2024 professional basketball league held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 21st. Didrick Lawson (16 points), Ethan Albano (14 points), and Park In-woong (12 points) did their part, but they bowed their heads after losing in the internal strife. The DB, which had one win and three losses overall in the series, failed to cross the wall of the super team KCC and collapsed.
Ahead of this season, DB manager Kim Joo-sung took the helm. Known as a club legend, he took over as acting coach last season and made a splash in his first season as a coach, leading his team to a regular league victory.
Coach Kim Joo-sung's opponent, who went straight to the semifinals of the playoffs, was KCC led by mentor Jeon Chang-jin.
Despite establishing a luxurious lineup, KCC ranked fifth in the regular league. However, KCC made a new history by showing a different side in the short term like a super team, eventually beating DB to advance to the championship game fifth place first.
Coach Kim Joo-sung, who met KCC in this way, was completely defeated in the teacher-student match. He won the regular league, but was eliminated in the semifinals, ending DB's challenge to win.
DB had been dragging its feet all day long. Unable to withstand the opponent team's persistent under-the-basketball strategy, DB fell behind 42-44 in the rebound fight.
They fought evenly 32-38 in the first half, but it was painful to lose momentum by giving up 10 points at the start of the second half. Since then, DB has been chasing hard, but it was not enough to turn the game around.
Coach Kim Joo-sung, who finished his first season as a coach after winning the regular league title and eliminating the semifinal playoff, said, "The playoff loss was due to a lack of coach. We lost the rebound fight, so we couldn't stop Laguna. Personally, I'm disappointed that we couldn't show you fun basketball."
"Players did a good job during the regular season," Kim said after receiving a noticeable report card in his first year as a coach. He said he hoped the players would have an interesting game in the playoffs, but he was caught up in the mood and felt heavy on the players. "I wish the players and I could have experienced this experience at a higher level. I think this season was an opportunity for players to gain more experience," he recalled.
