"The organization of the defense has collapsed. It's my responsibility as a director."
Korean basketball team coach Ahn Joon-ho, who only confirmed his advance to the FIFA Asia Cup finals in 2025 with a new victory over Thailand, said this.
메이저사이트 South Korea beat Thailand 91-90 and one point behind Thailand in the fifth Group A match of the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup qualifying round at Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on the 20th.
South Korea, which had been leading by double digits until the third quarter, was shaken by Thailand's outer artillery, which began to explode in the fourth quarter.
With about three minutes left before the end, he won after a lot of difficulties, including an 81-82 turnaround.
The victory confirmed the team's advance to the Asian Cup finals, but it was a match that I couldn't just laugh because of the unstable content.
According to the Korea Basketball Association, coach Ahn said in a press conference after the game, "The defense organization collapsed in the third and fourth quarters. After taking the lead, my concentration was disrupted and my cohesion was reduced, and as a result, allowing the opponent eight 3-pointers leaves us with questions about our defense."
"It is regrettable that we had a hard time until the end because we could not use the last minute effectively. If we cannot deeply reflect on these areas and supplement them, it will be difficult for Korean men's basketball to be competitive in international competitions. I reflect on the lack of today's game, thinking that it is entirely my responsibility as a coach," he said, bending his head down.
Ha Yoon-ki (kt) also said, "It was an easy game to take, but I'm very disappointed that I won hard because of the turnovers that came out at every important moment."
"Rather than being satisfied with the victory, I will look back on this game and try to make up for my shortcomings and improve further," he said. "I will do my best to show better performance in the next match against Indonesia."
