The fighting spirit of Lee Dae-seong (190cm, G) lost its light once again.
Daegu Korea Gas Corporation lost 76-87 to Goyang Carrot in the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Pro Basketball regular league held at the Goyang Gymnasium on the 9th. 3 consecutive wins failed. With 12 wins and 17 losses, it was not tied with Suwon KT (13 wins, 16 losses) in 7th place. He was chased by 9th place Wonju DB (12-18) by half a game.
Korea Gas Corporation began to reinforce power after the end of the 2021-2022 season. The most urgent thing was to recruit guards. This is because Doo Kyung-min (183cm, G) became a free agent (free agent) after the season ended, and Kim Nak-hyun (184cm, G) enlisted in the military.
They needed someone who could fill in for the two main guards. First, the Asian quota system, which was extended to Filipino players, was used. He signed a contract with SJ Belrangel (177cm, G), who has the ability to coordinate the game, press and defend, and shoot.
Belrangel is a classic point guard. Belrangel needed a scorer to maximize his ability to manage the game. KOGAS also needed resources to replace the offensive power of Doo Kyung-min and Kim Nak-hyun. In summary, KOGAS wanted an outside main scorer.
This was the reason Korea Gas Corporation’s gaze turned to Lee Dae-sung, who was the top scorer in Korea in the 2021-2022 season. Dae-Sung Lee is a mid-range jumper with breakthrough and defensive capabilities. He was also a player who could play physical basketball, which Korea Gas Corporation wanted.
When Korea Gas Corporation won 7 wins in 8 games from Samsung on November 25, 2022, Lee Dae-sung’s power was great. This is because Lee Dae-sung, as the main ball handler, arranged attacks and scored goals. Thanks to Lee Dae-sung, Korea Gas Corporation was able to settle down on the playoff line.
However, there were not enough players to support Lee Dae-seong. The reason why Korea Gas Corporation fell into a 6-game losing streak despite Lee Dae-sung’s great success. Lee Dae-sung’s power had no choice but to fall further.
However, KOGAS has won both recent games. Although Devon Scott (201cm, F) has joined instead of Yushu Eundoye (210cm, C), Lee Dae-sung’s influence is still important. This is because Carrot is a team that plays mainly in the backcourt.
Lee Dae-seong showed off his offensive power from the start. He showed off his long-term dribble jumper and helped his teammates score with a kick-out pass following a breakthrough and a bold fast attack. KOGAS, which had been pushed 4-10, tied the game at 12-12 four minutes before the end of the first quarter.
After Kim Kang-seon (190cm, G) hit 3 points, he faltered once more. However, Lee Dae-seong showed tenacity. In particular, after the last defensive rebound in the first quarter, he ran alone to the carrot camp. He made the last points of the first quarter. Lee Dae-seong recorded 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in the first quarter alone, and KOGAS turned the game around 21-20. 스포츠토토
Lee Dae-seong, who scored a come-from-behind goal, needed a break. Because he had bad hamstrings and right wrists. Yoo Do-hoon, director of Korea Gas Corporation, also recognized this. Lee Dae-sung was called to the bench 3 minutes and 12 seconds into the second quarter.
However, Lee Dae-sung went back to the court 1 minute and 17 seconds before the end of the second quarter. This is because SJ Belrangel (177cm, G) and Woo Dong-hyun (175cm, G), who had to replace Lee Dae-seong, failed to exert a great influence. Substitute Lee Dae-seong made two foul free throws 11.6 seconds before the end of the 2nd quarter. However, KOGAS was hit with 3 points by Jeon Seong-hyeon (188cm, F) in the last defense. The first half ended 38-47.
Lee Dae-seong, who made a free throw at the end of the 2nd quarter, pierced Kim Kang-sun’s strong defense at the beginning of the 3rd quarter by dribbling or using the screen. He rocked the Carrot defense with mid-range jumpers and under-the-box passes. Korea Gas Corporation threatened Carrot 47-49 in 2 minutes and 35 seconds from the start of the 3rd quarter.
However, it could not stop Didric Lawson (202cm, F) and Lee Jung-hyun (187cm, G). I couldn’t control Lawson’s breakthrough and pass, and Lee Jung-hyun’s 3-point shot. Lee Dae-seong exerted his strength, but KOGAS finished the third quarter with a score of 55-70. It was a bigger inferiority than the finish of the second quarter.
Lee Dae-seong came out in a militant way. However, it ran into a crisis. He tried to intercept Jeon Seong-hyeon’s ball and committed the 4th foul. The remaining time was 7 minutes and 24 seconds.
Nevertheless, Lee Dae-sung did everything he could until he stepped down from the court. He recorded 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in 32 minutes and 18 seconds. However, Korea Gas Corporation and Lee Dae-sung faced an All-Star break with an uncomfortable mind. For reference, KOGAS will play 7 games for 11 days after the All-Star break.
