Gunsan, Lee Min-jae] Jeonju KCC secured a victory.
The team won 91-89 against Changwon LG in Group B of the 2023 MG Saemaul Money KBL Cup at Wolmyeong Gymnasium in Gunsan on Wednesday.
At one point in the game, KCC led by as many as 21 points.
In the final minutes of the game, LG rallied, but KCC was able to hold on for the win.
It was Heo Woong who led the way. In 29 minutes, he had 27 points, 2 steals, 3P 5/8.
Helping him out was Alize Johnson, who finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in 22 minutes and 48 seconds. 카지노사이트가이드
The impact was significant in a short amount of playing time.
Johnson, the 50th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, joined KCC this season after playing for the Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, and Chicago Bulls.
During his time in the NBA, he was recognized as an undersized big man who excelled at rebounding.
On the offensive end, he didn’t stand out much.
However, in the KBL, he showed a different side. He was more aggressive, orchestrating his own offense, dribbling and creating his own shot. He was also seen cutting inside and putting up one-handed shots.
What stood out the most was his speed.
His ability to push the tempo in the offensive end of the floor after a rebound was impressive, and his passes to teammates were spot-on.
He was also quick off the dribble to get inside the paint and get a one-handed shot off. Asem Marei couldn’t get a hand on it.
After the game, Huong said, “Johnson has good quickness and good energy. He’s versatile.
It’s all good, it works well together.”
With Johnson and Choi Jun-yong, KCC is expected to be one of the fastest teams in the league.
“I don’t think we’ll be afraid of any team in terms of speed,” Heo said.
However, the team will need to adjust to the KBL stage. He fouled out early, committing five fouls on the day.
He needs to understand the referees’ tendencies.
