Q.
There was no significant change in preparation for the game. Since the players are aware that it is an important match, I did not say anything special to avoid burdening them. During training as well, the overall atmosphere is good, so I told them not to be vigilant and to keep the basics.
Q. How is Omari Spellman’s defense?
I plan to leave it to (Jeong) Hee-jae or (Seo) Min-soo. Spellman’s individual skills are unavoidable, but he ordered to reduce the number of points given in transitions and rebounds. If the prepared defense does not work, Dante Cunningham or (Kim) Joon-il will take over.
Q. How do you prepare for the opponent’s offensive rebound?
Rebound is important to go higher. Because the opponent is good at 3-point shooting, there are a lot of long rebounds, so I asked the players in front to take good positions.
