“I didn’t want to repeat the same mistake as last year.”
Anyang KGC won 70-64 in the 5th round of the 2022=2023 SKT A-Dot Professional Basketball Daegu Korea Gas Corporation held at the Daegu Gymnasium on the 12th and won 8 consecutive wins.
KGC, who trailed by 10 points (29-39) in the first half, showed high concentration from the second half and overturned the game. In particular, Omari Spellman (25, 206cm) showed high concentration in the second half of the game. Spellman, who recorded 8 points, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the first half, contributed to the team’s victory by fighting hard in the second half (17 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks). He contributed to the team’s victory with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks.
Spellman, who recorded 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, including 4 3-pointers, said after winning that day, “It was a really tough game, a tough fight. It feels good to win. After the game against Hyundai Mobis in Ulsan on the 11th, I came down (to Daegu) at night and it was very difficult due to the schedule, but the team members came together and were able to win.”
On this day, 3 of Spellman’s 4 3-pointers were concentrated in the 3rd quarter. When asked about the secret to his improved 3-point shot in the second half, Spellman said, “It was a weekend game, so my body was heavy in the beginning and I didn’t shoot well, but I tried to save my stamina. In order to focus on the game by driving (stamina) in the second half, I focused on going to a tight match as much as possible in the first half.” 스포츠토토
It wasn’t the only day that Spellman showed high concentration in the second half. In the game against Hyundai Mobis on the 11th, Spellman scored the most points in the team by scoring only 10 points in the first half and 17 points in the second half.
After playing the first half, the second half might be harder, but Spellman is stronger in the second half. Regarding this, Spellman said, “Last year, we won very well in the first half, but in the second half, we scored a lot (to the opponent), so we lost a lot and learned a lesson ourselves.” Believe me, when it comes to an important situation in the second half or a clutch situation, I think it works better if I try to take more shots and actively attack. I learned a lesson because I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes I made last year.”
KGC, who had won a close match by going through the 4th round of gas construction and the first overtime, won a sweet come-from-behind victory on this day as well. “We have a lot of great offensive option resources on our team,” Spellman said. In the case of other teams, there are many cases where it is easy to take it if only an attacker and a few players are blocked, but our team has many players such as Byun Jun-hyung, Oh Se-geun, Yang Hee-jong, Bae Byung-jun, Lens Abando, etc. gave it
