"I was embarrassed for three consecutive losses, but as expected, a powerful team." Yoo Ki-sang (22, Changwon LG, Guard), who is adapting to the professional stage day by day, achieved his first double-digit score since his debut. He is proving why he was the target of Rotary Pick. LG won 104-84 in the first round home game against Busan KCC in the 2023-2024 professional basketball league held at Changwon Indoor Gymnasium in Gyeongnam on the 10th. LG, which started with three consecutive losses after the opening, won five consecutive games through the game and confirmed its winning rate of 50% in the first round. Yoo Ki-sang was the main player of LG's victory. It was not a start, but he played 19 minutes and 30 seconds, and he scored 18 points and two rebounds, making six in eight three-point attempts. In particular, it contributed greatly to LG's escape from afar by hitting four three-runs in the third quarter alone. Yoo Ki-sang, who was put on the court as a substitute late in the first quarter, adjusted his shooting sense by scoring two three-runs in the second quarter. Although he made mistakes, he played the game without any major problems in ball supply or defense. The third quarter that followed was truly Yoo Ki-sang's showtime. Yoo Ki-sang, who immediately hit the outer shot right after the start of the quarter, showed off his peak shooting sense. He split his mind to try three-point shots. LG, which was once caught up to 20 points, ran away by 35 points in the third quarter, and eventually won despite a defensive miss in the second half. Yoo Ki-sang, who graduated from Yongsan High School and Yonsei University, established himself as the best shooter in the college league and was selected as the "Draft Big 3" along with Moon Jung-hyun (Suwon KT) and Park Moo-bin (Ulsan Hyundai Mobis) of Korea University. After overcoming an ankle injury, he performed well in the college league this year. Eventually, he was selected as the third pick in the first round after the two players and wore LG's uniform. He played 4 minutes and 25 seconds in his debut match (against Hyundai Mobis on October 23), and is gradually increasing his playing time with 15 minutes 17 seconds → 20 minutes 22 seconds → 22 minutes 13 seconds in the previous three games. After the victory, LG manager Cho Sang-hyun praised, "I thought it was (Huh) Woong or (Lee) Geun-hwi's opponent's defense, and I thought the attack was insurance, but the three-point shots in the second half came out unexpectedly." "We need to make more as we grow," he encouraged. Veteran guard Lee Jae-do also praised, saying, "The organic player is a rookie, but I think I have an option." "I think I'm watching it because there's no information about Ki-ki (from other teams). I won't let it go now. I have to think about it and overcome it," he said, also not forgetting to raise awareness. After the game, Yoo Ki-sang said, "I was embarrassed after experiencing consecutive losses as a pro, but last year's powerful team was different," adding, "I will work hard in my position and try to follow my brothers." We will try to finish the rest of the game well and reach the goal LG wants, he said. Regarding the high success rate of three-point shots on the day, he said, "I didn't know the record. I knew it because my brothers told me," he said. Wouldn't it be a pity that he failed to fill 10 three-point shots in the second half of the game. Yoo Ki-sang laughed, saying, "10 was difficult because I lost my physical strength." He said, "I felt (Jung) Hee-jae hang the screen firmly. (Lee)Jae-do also created a lot of wide open situations. It's different from when he runs with (Yang) Junseok. He gave credit to his seniors, saying, "I have experience." Usually, young players do not easily reach older seniors. Lee Jae-do said, "I can't tell you what comes to mind because I'm afraid I'll be able to see you as an MZ generation and an oldie these days." However, Yoo Ki-sang approaches his seniors first and asks questions. "I respect all the brothers on our team. If you do more than 10 years in a professional program, you have individual know-how or routine. I learn hard by watching it," he said. Lee Kwan-hee asked about his defense due to his similar position and physical conditions, and Han Sang-hyuk, who was a roommate in the Philippines off-season training, received help to adapt to the team. It is said that Lee Jae-do also asked questions about the 2-2 situation. Lee Jae-do said, "If you don't ask first, I won't tell you, but Ki-gi will ask first and tell you." Yoo Ki-sang has shown good defense by playing matchups with players such as Jeon Sung-hyun (Sono) and Heo Woong (KCC). In response, he said, "If you look at the indicators, you may say that I blocked it well because I couldn't score. "If you look at it broadly, I missed a lot," he said, showing an embarrassing reaction. "I grew up because foreign players, such as Maray, talked a lot and pointed out it," he said. "I didn't block it well, but the team did it well," he said. Earlier, before the game, coach Cho said, "After the D League, I scolded (Yang) Jun-seok and (Yoo) Ki-ki. I hope it becomes stronger and fiercer," he said. In response, Yoo Ki-sang said, "You shouldn't see that again. "I had a complacent mind," he said, expressing his firm determination, "If I go again, I will grow it to 100 percent."
