Ulsan Hyundai Mobis is at the Maginot Line of the playoffs.

Nearly two months have passed since the start of the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Tournament. The 2023-2024 Jeong Kwan-Jang professional basketball game has also passed the one-third mark. If you look at the game number (1 to 90), that's true. This means that round 2 is over.

There are some aspects that are slightly different from the first round. There were teams that improved from the first round, and there were teams that did not. So the second round of 2023-2024 was clearly different from the first round. There were many elements that made us look forward to the future. 메이저사이트

recorded 34 wins and 20 losses in the 2022-2023 season. 4th place in regular league. It was a result that exceeded expectations. Although they lost 2 wins and 3 losses to Day One Sports (now Goyang Sono) in the semifinal playoffs, Hyundai Mobis was a team with a lot of expectations.

Although Ronjay Abarrientos left for Japan, Gage Prim remained. Future and current resources of Hyundai Mobis, including Seo Myung-jin  , Lee Woo-seok  , and Shin Min-seok , also prepared for 'upgrades'. The addition of Kim Jun-il  and Kebe Aluma also raised expectations.

In addition, Hyundai Mobis coach Dong-Hyeon Cho's solid and detailed guidance shone. In particular, this was the case with the defense and the development of fast breaks after rebounds. Hyundai Mobis, which strengthened its energy level and speed, won all three opening games. He showed the performance of a strong candidate to advance to the playoffs.

Hyundai Mobis met Goyang Sono in the fourth game of the opening game. 2022-2023 regular league record: 1 win, 5 losses. And their record against 2022-2023 playoff opponents is 2 wins and 3 losses. It was a natural relationship.

Hyundai Mobis’ performance was not good. Additionally, Seo Myung-jin is out for the season due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Even Kim Jun-il left due to injury. Hyundai Mobis’ player base has become thinner.

The thinning player base led to fluctuations in performance. Also, the 3 points did not explode. That trend was noticeable in the second round. Because of this, Hyundai Mobis fell from the top rankings. There were times when we were unable to maintain 6th place, which was the playoff margin.

So the last game of the second round was important. The reason is this: This is because CheongKwanJang, the last opponent of the second round, is competing with Hyundai Mobis for 6th place. Even though Hyundai Mobis had won both times previously, Hyundai Mobis had to capture Cheong Kwan Jang.

Hyundai Mobis’ will was evident from the beginning. Strong defense and explosive offense came out at the same time. Hyundai Mobis, which had a large lead in the first half, easily caught CheongKwanJang, its playoff rival. As a result, we barely made it to the playoffs.
