The men’s basketball team, led by coach Ahn Jun-ho, will have a friendly match with the Japanese national team at Ariake Arena in Tokyo on May 5 and 7. The Japanese basketball team, which is set to participate in the Paris Olympics, will hold a ceremony in front of its home fans.
The Korean national team entered Tokyo on Thursday and completed its final training session at the Araake Arena Auxiliary Stadium in the afternoon on Wednesday. After a light warm-up session on Friday morning, Korea will have a showdown with Japan at 7 p.m.
As the average age of 24 suggests, they were young and cheerful. Coach Ahn Joon-ho and Coach Seo Dong-cheol performed detailed tactics of pressing the opponent team with a score of one to one or two to three, thereby pushing the team to speed up. Their intention is to catch fast guards such as Yuki Togashi and Yuki Kawamura. 슬롯사이트 순위
Coach Seo Dong-cheol shouted, “Foul!!” and asked the players to take actual training. Seo showed off his no-fight skills by throwing himself to guide the players and falling. The players were also enthusiastic. Even big men who were new to the national flag including Lee Won-seok and Lee Doo-won participated in the attack. The players who did well were praised, saying, “Nice!”
The national team no longer has backbone such as Ra Gun-ah, Kim Jong-kyu, Lee Seung-hyun, Kim Sun-hyung and Lee Dae-sung. Instead, the team is younger and more energetic, which is one of the best strengths of the team. The players are communicating better than ever.
The training session, which started at 6:30 p.m., was full until 8 p.m. The final stages of the training consisted of Byun Jun-hyung, Oh Jae-hyun, Lee Woo-suk, Yang Jae-min, Ha Yoon-ki and Park In-woong’s navy and Lee Jung-hyun, Park Moo-bin, Yoo Ki-sang, Moon Jung-hyun, Lee Won-seok and Lee Doo-won’s gray.
Coach Seo Dong-cheol assigned Ha the task of “virtual Hawkinson.” When Ha shot under the basket, he said, “You are Hawkinson,” and asked Ha to shoot a three-point shot. He seems to show his commitment to the training as much as possible. Coach Ahn Jun-ho finished the training by having Lee Do-won train for one-on-one free throw and rebound.
After training, Ha Yoon-ki declared, “There are no Ra Gun-ah, Kim Jong-gyu, and Lee Seung-hyun brothers, but there are Yang Jae-min, Lee Won-seok, and Lee Doo-won. Young bloods will fight against Japan.”
Coach Ahn Jun-ho said, “Korean basketball is in a critical situation right now. Japan is said to have outperformed Korea in many ways by producing NBA players and building the latest 15,000-seat stadium, but I will play with the spirit of a complete defeat.”
