DB lost 80-92 at home against KT in the 2023-2024 Jeonggwanjang Professional Basketball at home on the 17th.
Doo Kyung-min came back from a knee injury, and guard Yoo Hyun-joon also returned to reinforce his guard resources. However, he recently suffered his first consecutive loss of the season due to two consecutive losses. It is partly because Kang Sang-jae is shaking after a nose injury, but he is also disappointed with the players who have not been with him since the start of the season.
Ahead of the KT match, DB manager Kim Ju-seong said, "(Two) Kyung-min and (Yu) Hyun-jun have returned. The rotation has also changed somewhat. The rotation does not change depending on the opponent's player. Only (Kim) Young-hyun or (Choi) Seung-wook are added to the opponent's ace players," adding, "I will use the players in various ways. I am also going through trial and error. I tried to give new players time to play in the rotation, but I have to maintain the rotation that I have been using. I have to match the players who have just joined the rotation."
While maintaining the rotation, which had been on a roll at the beginning of the season, he is considering the utilization of returning soldiers such as Doo Kyung-min and Yoo Hyun-joon. Practice time is limited, and in the end, we have to find the best combination through the actual game.
The most important thing is to make the most of Doo Kyung-min's explosive power in accordance with the current situation and flow of the game. "The goal is for Doo Kyung-min and Albano to play together and create synergy," said Kim, who also made trial and error. In other words, time is needed.
