It was the season of Anyang Jeonggwanjang, who taught a miracle.
Jeong Kwan-jang lost all three games in the semi-final playoff. He met Ulsan Hyundai Mobis, the third-ranked team in the regular league, but his victory or defeat was decided early on. Jeong lost two consecutive games in away games in Ulsan, and lost 92-99 at home on the previous day (17th). "Captain" Park Ji-hoon scored 22 points, and three more players scored double-digit points, but failed to prevent the loss.
However, fans keep giving compliments on Chung's SNS. Usually, when basketball games end in an instant, there are comments pointing out players' performance, but the comments are all about players' compliments and cheering for them. One fan said, "I was touched by how they never gave up. This is real sportsmanship." Another fan said, "The fans know how hard the players put in."
As such, Jeong's 2024-2025 season was truly impressive. It was a miracle to be in the playoffs. Until January, his record was 8 wins and 23 losses, ranking 10th in the league. He also gave up his humiliating 10 consecutive losses. The time when he could have given up the season. However, he gained more strength. After making changes through various recruitments, Jeong continued to win consecutive games and competed with DB in the semifinals until the final match of the regular season league. He beat DB in the final match to advance to the semifinals.
The team also faced a difficult crisis in the playoffs. Main guards Byun Jun-hyung and veteran Bae Byung-joon were injured. However, Jeong was defeated in the first away match in Ulsan by a one-goal margin, 84-87 without them. Due to all-out efforts from the regular season, the team lost the second match in vain due to physical difficulties, but regained strength in the third match. Up until the third quarter, the team was lagging far behind 63-83. However, it caught up with Hyundai Mobis in the fourth quarter. They were eliminated from the playoffs in the end, but never gave up.
Jeong was deeply touched by the feat this season. Team captain Park Ji-hoon did not bow down even when his team came in last place. He shouted "fighting" and gave positive energy to his teammates. Jeong said, "When the ranking goes up one notch from the 10th, veteran players buy the entire team dinner to encourage the players. Park Ji-hoon got off to a good start. Despite his injury, Byun Jun-hyung, a handsome guard, even told his team coach Kim Sang-sik that he would play even 10 minutes for his team in the playoffs. Unfortunately, Byun's participation in the playoffs was canceled, but it was a scene where he could see his fighting spirit. 토토사이트
Forward Han Seung-hee's growth story was also amazing. Through the trade, Jeong Hyo-geun (Wonju DB) joined the team, and Kim Jong-gyu, who joined the team, was in poor physical condition, making it difficult to play normally. However, Han Seung-hee led the team through robust growth. In the final match between the DB and the regular league, Han scored in the second half, leading Jeong to come from behind to win. It was Han who scored a winning shot in the fourth quarter and roared. Young players including So Jun-hyuk and Kim Kyung-won also showed great fighting spirit.
How about foreign players? "Three-point shooter" Harvey Gomez got a muscle cramp in his back as he ran too hard, and sometimes he collapsed on the court after the game and couldn't move for a while. Johnny O'Brient, who joined the team during the season, opened his wallet. He said he would give 100,000 won to a player who dunks, expressing positive energy as well. Deontay Burton was confident that Jung's qualification for the playoffs is 10,000 percent at a time when everyone was suspicious of him. Burton kept his promise. In this way, Jeong Kwan-jang made it to the playoffs together. Fans of the Jeong Kwan-jang will not forget the impression.
