Coach Cho met with reporters ahead of the final 5th game of the 2023-2024 Jeong Kwan-Jang Professional Basketball Semifinal PO (3 wins out of 5) against Suwon KT held at Changwon Gymnasium on the 24th and revealed that he had repeatedly ordered Assem Marey and others to focus only on the game.
When asked if he had discussed anything with Marey regarding the referee’s decision, Coach Cho smiled and replied, “It’s not something we discussed.”
Director Cho said, “It may be unfair, but we are too sensitive and overreacting.
“I think it’s because I have a desire to win, but I asked him to focus more on the game.”
“Marey responded by saying, ‘I will play with my mouth shut,’ but I don’t know what to do,” he said. “Because I keep complaining to the referee, my return to defense is slowed down.”
“I hope you do it calmly,” he added.
Director Cho, who said he had spent the previous day separately interviewing Lee Jae-do, Jeong Hee-jae, and Marey, joked that he had done so much counseling that he was close to earning a “doctorate in psychology.”
He added, “In the end, ‘coolness’ is important.
“We need to pay more attention to defense during times when we protest against the referee or feel aggrieved that the judging standards for us are different from the other side,” he emphasized.
If LG wins today, it will advance to the championship game for the first time in 10 years since the 2013-2014 season.
Director Cho was not aware of this record.
It is said that he was only focused on preparing for this 5th game.
Coach Cho said, “I didn’t think about anything else other than the game.
“We didn’t even prepare for Busan KCC, the opponent we would face if we got to the championship game,” he said. “I put everything on the line for today’s game.”
“I’ve been busy sorting out things that haven’t worked out so far,” he said.
