Busan KCC, the winning team of the 2023-2024 professional basketball season championship game, was called the ‘super team’.
This was due to the strong power of the national team’s lineup of leading players, including Heo Woong, who became the best player (MVP) in the playoffs, Song Kyo-chang, Choi Jun-yong, Lee Seung-hyun, and La Geon-ah.
KCC, which struggled in the regular league due to injuries and stayed in 5th place, became a completely different team in the playoffs, which started with a ‘complete team’, and became the first 5th-place team to win the championship in the history of professional basketball, which was launched in 1997.
In fact, KCC is such a spectacular team that not only the players but also the coaching staff can easily be evaluated as ‘super’. 토토사이트 추천
First, coach Jeon Chang-jin is the leader who has won the most professional basketball coach awards (6 times), and he gave his team a championship again 16 years after the 2007-2008 season when he was in Wonju East.
With this win, he set the record for the oldest winning coach ever (60 years old), and the record for the youngest winning coach ever (39 years old), set in the 2002-2003 season when he first won at Wonju TG Sambo, is still unbroken.
Coach Yang-Taek Kang is a veteran leader with over 20 years of coaching experience.
He served as coach of Seoul SK, Changwon LG, and the national team, and during his time at SK, he served as acting coach in the 2006-2007 season and achieved 21 wins.
After confirming the championship on the 5th, coach Jeon Chang-jin said at a press conference, “I want to be the first to say thank you to coach Kang Yang-taek, who has been by my side for five years,” making sure to support the coach.
He is also a loyalist who maintained his position even after being offered to coach another team during his time as coach.
Coach Lee Sang-min, who returned as a coach to KCC, where he enjoyed his prime as a player ahead of this season, is a ‘superstar coach’ who needs no further explanation.
He served as head coach at Seoul Samsung from 2014 to 2022 and personally led the championship game in the 2016-2017 season.
Due to the nature of the team consisting of players with strong personalities, the addition of coach Lee Sang-min, who was by far the best in both skill and popularity during his active years, was a great help in strengthening teamwork.
