Last season, they were in first place from the first day of professional basketball to the last. The main players from that season remained the same. The team was considered one of the favorites to lift the trophy in the cup competition ahead of the 2024-2025 season. However, the team hasn’t quite lived up to expectations since the start of the season. We’re talking about Wonju DB.
After winning their opening game, DB lost four straight games and are now in a position where they have to worry about finishing last. DB was considered to have a solid roster with Kang Sang-jae and Kim Jong-kyu, as well as last season’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) Lee Sun Albano (pictured), remaining on the team, and the addition of Lee Kwan-hee. However, since the start of the season, the team has bowed to Daegu KOGAS and Anyang Jungkwanjang, both of whom are considered bottom of the table, and lost to Busan KCC, 바카라사이트 whose main players are all injured.
Albano’s slump is serious. Albano has only scored 19 points in his last four games, including 23 minutes against Jungkwanjang but was held scoreless. DB coach Kim Joo-sung was even caught on the broadcast screen swearing at Albano during the game. Onuaku, the MVP of the tournament, was also disappointing. Onuaku made nine mistakes in the match against Seoul SK on the 22nd. Onuaku is averaging 4.8 turnovers per game this season, the most in the league. On top of that, Onuaku’s attitude is also criticized as insincere.
Sports TV commentator Choo Seung-gyun evaluated DB’s offensive balance. “Albano is not in good shape and Onuaku is not playing his role inside, so the overall team movement looks heavy,” Chu said, adding, ”DB players are also showing signs of being bounced by the stronger defense (due to the relaxed foul standards).” DB will look to bounce back next month when they host Suwon KT on March 2.
