Sono Manager Kim Seung-ki, who is aiming to escape from eight Consecutive Losses

Goyang Sono Sky Gunners coach Kim Seung-ki, who wants to break the long losing streak, vowed to do his best.

Sono, led by head coach Kim, will play the 2023-2024 professional basketball regular league home game against Anyang Jeonggwanjang at Sono Arena in Goyang on the 28th.

Sono, who is currently ranking eighth with eight wins and 16 losses, is not in a good mood. He has lost eight consecutive games and is just 1.5 games ahead of Daegu Korea Gas Corporation 7 wins and 18 losses. Eight consecutive losses is the record set by coach Kim Seung-ki, who has lost most consecutive games including when he was acting coach.

The opponent this time is Jeong Gwan-gwan 10 wins and 15 losses, who is ranking seventh in a four-game losing streak. However, the head coach thought Sono was lagging behind in the previous battle. This is why Lee Jung-hyun, an ace player who is suffering from a shoulder injury, is highly likely to miss the match again on the day.

"It is not easy to deploy Lee Jung-hyun. To be honest, I wanted to be greedy. Before the break, I tried to control myself to stop losing consecutive games quickly, but when I came back from the hospital yesterday on May 27, I was told to wait a little longer. I think I need to change what I used to do with the rest of the players," Sono coach Kim Seung-ki sighed.

"It will not be easy to stop Park Ji-hoon at Jeonggwanjang, and Choi Sung-won is not bad either. Bae Byung-joon has also improved a lot since he won the title. It is also not easy to stop Jung Hyo-geun. "We will not be good enough in the front line," he said. "I think we are a little inferior in terms of power. I feel relieved if Chung is present, but I am at a disadvantage because I do not have it."

However, coach Kim stressed that he should do his best. "I am at a lower level with Chung, but I think I should fight well until the end," he said.

On the previous day, Sono decided to recruit Dahuanne Summers in place of Deyonte Davis. However, Summers is expected to join the team tomorrow on the 29th. He has to rely on Chinanu Onuaku until the end of the day. Onuaku has been firmly guarding Sono's basketball base recently, but he also showed signs of irritation when the game did not go well.

"I talk to him every day with Onuaku. I made a promise not to be angry today as well. Honestly, I feel frustrated too, but he told me not to do so because that would make the players shrink even more. I told him not to ask me to change him because he would never give up the game. Onuaku also said yes," he said.

Finally, coach Kim Seung-ki said of Summers, "He is a player who can throw and play shots from outside. He has a lot of experience to lead the team. As Onuaku is not a bad player, I think the two will have a good harmony."

Against this backdrop, Chung Sang-sik said with a wry smile, "In the previous matches, Sono was chasing after getting outside shots in succession. That's why I send out Jeong Hyo-geun as the starting pitcher. The team has lost consecutive games and has a tight schedule going forward. Even as a player, he had no experience playing eight games for two weeks. He also has overseas trips scheduled in succession at the East Asian Super League."

Chung, who left the mound after Darryl Monroe suffered a hamstring injury, is going through a difficult time as even Robert Carter suffered an ankle injury in the previous game. Fortunately, Carter is expected to be able to play on the day.

"We need to stop losing consecutive games. Sono also has one foreign player. That's why today's game seems to be an important one. If we lose today, we can have consecutive losses. I told the players to do it together," he said, before heading out to the court. 토토사이트 추천
