While Jeong Kwan-jang's basketball team and volleyball team face a showdown day, I'm curious about general manager Kim Sung-ki's steps.
April 7, 2025 is a very important day for Jeong Kwan-jang Sports Team. First, the basketball team is scheduled to play its last regular league game against Wonju DB at Wonju Gymnasium. Currently, the team is in sixth place, with 24 wins and 29 losses, one game ahead of the seventh-place DB (23 wins and 30 losses). If they win, they can secure sixth place in the regular league and board the last train of the playoffs. They are tied in the event of a loss, but spring basketball is frustrated because they are behind the opponent team.
The team will play the fifth game of the championship game against Heungkuk Life Insurance at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon. The championship game is best out of five, so the winning team will win the title. If Jeong wins, he will become the top female volleyball player for the first time in 13 years. His motivation is also certain, as he has advanced to the championship game against everyone's expectations.
If so, there is a question that arises here. Jung Kwan-jang's basketball team and volleyball team are both in charge of general manager Kim Sung-ki, who took office in March. Since the basketball team and the volleyball team play at the same time, general manager Kim Sung-ki has to choose one place. Where is his step headed.
"Winning a championship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Kim told the Dong-A Ilbo over the phone on Sunday. "I went to the volleyball court continuously during the playoff period. As it is an important playoff game, I am playing all-in on volleyball. I am struggling because I have not been able to watch it live, but I am constantly checking on it. I asked coach (Kim Sang-sik) and the team for their understanding as well. Volleyball is a championship game, so even the owner of the team is going to visit the volleyball court. Therefore, I have to go to the volleyball court of course as the team leader. I will keep checking while watching the game through my cell phone," Kim said.
The basketball team of Jeong Kwan-jang and the volleyball team share many similarities this season. The basketball team struggled in the early days of the season, falling to the bottom. However, the team successfully reversed the mood through trade and replacement of foreign players, and rose to the sixth place. If the team beats the DB, it will set a record for the second team in KBL history to lose 10 consecutive games to advance to the playoffs. 안전놀이터
The Korean volleyball team was not highly evaluated before the opening of the season. However, it garnered 14 consecutive wins in the middle of the season, creating a sensation. As a result, it advanced to the playoffs by ranking third in the regular season, defeating Hyundai E&C by 2-1 to advance to the championship game. She met Heungkuk Life Insurance, where Kim Yeon-koung is holding out, and lost two consecutive games, but displayed her potential and balanced with two wins and two losses. If she wins again, she will win the title through a reverse sweep.
"The volleyball team is trying to win the title for the first time in 13 years, and only Yeom Hye-sun has experience in the playoffs. He deserves applause just for advancing to the championship game, but he is aiming for a reverse sweep. He was a supporting actor in Kim Yeon-koung's last dance, but now he is making a leap to the lead role. I hope he can play well in the last game to achieve the long-cherished dream of the volleyball team," Kim said, expressing his support to the volleyball team.
"The basketball team came right before the playoffs in a difficult situation. It has a handicap of an away game and is inferior to the opponent team's overall record. However, as the team has become a completely different team through the replacement of foreign players and trade, I think it will bring good results if we play with composure. I hope fans can see more games after advancing to the playoffs. Regardless of the outcome, I think the team is the winner given the process of making it this far," he said, adding to the basketball team.
