Sangmyung University is preparing for the season without a major power leak.
Sangmyung University, which is preparing for the 2025 season, has been conducting winter off-season training in Boryeong, Chungcheongnam-do since January 2.
Sangmyung University will hold off-season training until February 3 and move on to Sangju to begin its stove league schedule. After that, Sangmyung University will engage in a practice game with the military athletic unit Sangmu.
Sangmyung University was joined by three freshmen this season. Guard Yoon Yong-joon and Kim Min-gook, and center Han Young-ki are the main characters. Coach Ko Seung-jin expects to contribute to his strength by showing satisfaction to the three players.
"I focused on physical training, and although scouting is not easy, freshman players are satisfied," coach Ko Seung-jin said. "(Korea) Young-ki is still in fairly good physical condition, but (Yoon) Yong-joon and (Kim) Min-guk have good abilities. Because of Young-ki, he has reinforced the back line, and since he can change the members to the extent that he can take the defense that is ahead of him tightly, I will prepare well for the pressure defense."
"Freshmen need to adjust themselves to some parts of course, but overall they are satisfied. They can use them as their full strength immediately. Yong-joon is quite good at shooting and can manage games along with passes, which needs to be supplemented in defense. Minguk plays hard in defense by showing lackluster plays, and he has very good reflexes and scoring ability. Young-ki has great skills, so I think it would be good if he could lose weight," he said, explaining the strengths of the freshmen.
It is regrettable that Kwon Soon-woo and Ko Jung-hyun, who played important roles in the team as senior students, are absent. However, the coach Ko Seung-jin is devising measures to fill the gap with the new captain Hong Dong-myung.
"It is regrettable that the absence of the two senior players is not enough, but I think we can make up for it," Koh said. "(Hong) Dong-myung has become a senior and he is working really hard. He did his best, but Dong-myung has a unique desire to join the team at a time when it was not easy for him to play basketball in college, and his senior captain works out nonstop for a day, which is good for his friends to follow suit. If I were to pick a key player for this season, Dong-myung would be great."
The role of Song Jeong-woo, a tall forward, is also important. He can expect to play a waist role that connects the guard line and the big man line.
Coach Ko also said, "Our team must have (Song) Jung-woo," adding, "He has a big role in defense, rebounds, and bad things, and he has a good shooting ability. And the team's atmosphere goes up as well because he is energetic. It is better that Jung-woo can play without injury. Of course, there is an injury gap, so I think I should restrain myself from trying to do better."
It is Sangmyung University, which has less inferiority in height than before through reinforcement of power. It has become easier to operate a defense that protects than an anomalous defense.
"Our stature is not that short this year. Last season, we had no choice but to shoot as we played as a double team, but this year, we can defend ourselves by allowing shots to be fired in difficult situations. Rather than abnormalities, I try to keep my position and defend myself more. And I suffered a lot from rebounds, but those areas need to be resolved a lot. We also had a practice game with professional teams, and since they engaged in physical struggle a lot, we didn't lose as many rebounds as we expected," Koh said.
He also expressed satisfaction, saying, "It's good because we have fewer injury resources compared to last season. (Kim) Chan-young has a bad ankle, but he can still return before the opening of the season." 먹튀검증
Finally, Koh said, "Of course, performance is important, but I hope that the players will spend the season without getting injured. I believe Dongmyeong, the captain, will do well, but I hope he can show more confidence. He is a very sincere friend, but only when these players succeed more, will the younger players feel and learn a lot from him."
