Changwon LG, a professional basketball team full of new faces, has begun its training camp in Japan.
The team will begin training in Okinawa, Japan, on the 21st and will travel to Taiwan on the 24th.
On the first day of the training camp, the players gathered at the training center in the afternoon and warmed up by moving from side to side on the court. They then gradually increased the intensity of their training. They exchanged passes in fastbreak situations and practiced jump shots around the free-throw line, while they also practiced offense and 파워볼실시간 defense in groups of two.
LG head coach Cho Sang-hyun observed the players’ switch defense and screen play with a hawk’s eye. “For the Japan and Taiwan tournaments, all the foreign players came in and all the injured players joined except for (former) Sung-hyun, so we’re going to do a final check on the combinations and what we’ve been practicing on defense,” Cho said.
Last season, LG finished second in the regular season but failed to advance to the championship game. The team reorganized in the off-season to make changes. The team added Jeon Sung-hyun, Choi Jin-soo, Jang Kook-guk, and Heo Il-young. “Kyung-min Doo, Sung-hyun Jeon, and Darryl Monroe, who have a history of injuries, are a little more nervous and eager to do well in training,” said LG head coach Son Jong-oh.
LG plans to use the training camp to check and change the new structure, as well as the chemistry between domestic and foreign players, and to boost its strength.
