Seoul SK rode an unstoppable rise with a victory in the 6th round, but unfortunately failed to go directly to the playoffs (PO) in the quarterfinals. However, for SK, this season is already a successful season.
SK took third place with 36 wins and 18 losses in the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot professional basketball. Although they were tied with Changwon LG in second place, they were pushed back in terms of at-bats (head-to-head goal difference토토사이트) and finished in a disappointing 3rd place. From the 3rd, we have to play the 6th round PO with Jeonju KCC, which is 6th in the league. However, it is already a half-successful season for the ‘defending champion’ SK.
SK, which clearly went back and forth between the upper and lower ranks, escaped from the stigma of being a ‘roller coaster’ this season. SK has been on a roller coaster for the past five seasons. SK, who won the championship after going directly to the PO of the semifinals with second place in the 2017-2018 season, has since moved up and down the leaderboard. In the 2018-2019 season, it fell to 9th place in the league, and in the 2019-2020 season it rose to first place in the league again. However, in the 2020-2021 season, it fell back to 8th place in the league, and won the combined championship in the 2021-2022 season.
According to the pattern, SK should have gone down the leaderboard again this season, but this time it was different. He showed a fierce back-and-forth, including a victory in round 6, and rose to third place in the league. Above all, it is more meaningful because it was achieved despite frequent absences due to the enlistment of Ahn Young-jun, who was the core of the team’s strength, and Choi Jun-yong’s injury. Choi Seong-won, Oh Jae-hyun, Choi Won-hyuk, Heo Il-young, Choi Bu-kyung and others were utilized to complete the best performance.
Last season, coach Jeon Hee-chul led the team to a championship and a combined championship as soon as he took the SK baton. The joy of standing at the top is short-lived, and ahead of this season, coach Jeon said, “SK has gone through a roller coaster in recent years. After good grades, bad grades. This season is important. The players worked hard to get out of the roller coaster, and I tried too. My goal this season is to get out of the rollercoaster path.”
SK and coach Jeon have already achieved their goal, which was not easy.
