The professional basketball team SK is on the verge of elimination.
After finishing the 2023-2024 regular professional basketball league by ranking fourth, SK lost both the first and second round of the best-of-five playoff at home. In the history of professional basketball, there is a 0% chance that a team that lost both the first and second rounds will advance to the semifinal PO (0 out of 23 times). SK should keep a glimmer of hope alive. 토토사이트 추천
Oh's silence grows longer in PO as well. Having joined KGC (currently Jeong Kwan-jang) as the top draft pick of the Korea Basketball League (KBL) in 2011, Oh maintained top-notch tactics. During the 2011-2012 season when he made his debut, he led his team to its first championship title. He had won four championships up to last season. He also won the MVP of the championship title three times, the most with Yang Dong-geun (current Hyundai Mobis coach). Since joining the team, he has played for only one team and dreamed of becoming a franchise star.
However, he failed to narrow differences during free agent negotiations last year, and chose to transfer as a surprise. He signed a contract with SK for three years and 750 million won (722 U.S. dollars) in compensation in his first year. SK has Oh Se-geun and Kim Sun-hyung, who jointly won 52 consecutive games during his time at Chung-Ang University. Their meeting drew keen attention ahead of the start of the season.
However, he performed better than expected during the regular season. The process of adapting to the new team has taken longer than expected. Oh played all 54 games without any injuries, but only posted 8.5 points and 4.9 rebounds while playing 22 minutes and 3 seconds on average. His playing time and average score are the lowest in his career. The performance is regrettable.
Nevertheless, there were expectations that Oh would survive in the PO. Until now, Oh has been particularly strong in big games. He was named MVP in the championship game last season as well. Even though he was sluggish in the regular season, he had ample capability to redeem himself in the PO.
He also failed to display his influence in PO. In two PO matches, he only scored 4.0 points at 19 minutes and 14 seconds on average. Oh has displayed his skills regardless of matchup opponents, but he has been exposed to a great deal of weaknesses in this series. Tall forwards Choi Joon-yong and Song Kyo-chang (CKC) have shown off their attack on Oh's slow feet.
SK's strength lies in the fact that Jamil Warney and Oh Se-geun, two of the best foreign players in the professional basketball league, are holding out. However, SK has failed to play a proper role due to KCC's momentum. In order for SK to rebound in away games after allowing both games at home, Oh desperately needs to revive itself.
