Despite a difficult journey, LG has won two consecutive games. The professional basketball team LG finished its group league schedule for the "2025 FIBA Basketball Champions League Asia." LG lost 76-103 to defending champion Al Riyadi Beirut of Lebanon in the second Group C match held at Sheikh Said bin Maktoum Sports Hall in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday. The team lost all games from the previous day's match against Taoyuan Pauian Pilots (73-89).
"The match was two consecutive days and the lack of training after the KBL season seems to have been clearly revealed in the second half of today," LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said after the match. "Still, the players ran well under the given circumstances. Notably, we cannot forget the names of the two foreign players. Polycaps and Kevin Allen played really well despite the difficult situation even though they joined the team late."바카라사이트
With the polycap (21 points) and Allen (15 points), guard Yang Joon-seok also contributed. He was also responsible for scoring the most (14 points) among Korean players. "As I participated in this competition as a champion, I expected better results," Yang said. I did my best even in a difficult environment, but when it comes to the results, it is regrettable," he said.
It was a day when he showed off his "jekyll and Hyde" style against strongman Aaliyadi. This is true in that he failed to continue his momentum in the first half (47-49) to the second half (29-54).
Yang Joon-seok also nodded and explained, "The gap widened in the second half due to the overlapping small mistakes." There is also a great regret that he failed to work with his colleagues who won the KBL championship match in the previous season, including Asem Marei, Carl Tamayo, and Heo Il-young.
Despite this, he has learned a lot from this year's event. "I learned a lot. The biggest achievement is from gaining confidence by playing against good teams," Yang said, reflecting on his commitment, saying, "There will be matches for the national team in the future, and we should continue to compete with these high-level players to grow."
Notably, his experience against Asia's best guard Wael Araji was valuable lesson. "I felt that he was really different when I met him through video clips," Yang said. "After all, we have to overcome them. We have regrets, but we have no regrets. We will prepare harder in the future so that we can produce good results," he said.
Meanwhile, among the nine teams that participated in this year's event, the top eight teams, excluding those at the bottom of goal difference, will advance to the quarterfinals. Whether LG will be eliminated or not will be determined according to the results of the third Group B match between Utsunomiya Brex (Japan, 0-1) and Shabab al-Ahli (UAE, 1-1), which will take place at 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
Only when Utsunomiya (-11, 86 points-97 points) loses by a margin of 33 points or more, can LG come from behind in goal difference (-43, 149 points-192 points). If Utsunomiya wins or loses by a margin of less, LG will be eliminated. If the two teams are tied in goal difference, the team will determine the advantage of multiple points.
