Blog Article
Kevin Kembao (195cm, F) did not show as much explosive power as before.
Goyang Sono lost 80-101 to Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in the 2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball Regular League match held at Goyang Sono Arena on the 11th. It fell to the bottom (12 wins and 26 losses). It is half a game behind ninth-ranked Seoul Samsung (12 wins and 25 losses).
"If Kembao comes, our team's performance will change," Sono said from the beginning of the 2024-2025 season. He has named himself "Kembao" several times. That much, he expected Kembao's performance.
Kembao made his debut in anticipation on Jan. 12. However, he injured his ankle while shooting a 3-pointer. He was out of the lineup for more than two weeks.
However, Kembao shook off his injury. After returning from injury, he averaged 22.2 points and 7.6 rebounds (1.4) and 3.8 assists in five games. As Kembao played various roles including ball handling and shooting, breakthrough and rebounding, and passing, Sono's performance also changed.
In particular, Kembao exploded in the match against Wonju DB on the 2nd. He was active in KBL career-high 36 points, 12 rebounds (attack 3) and three assists with two steals. He rescued Sono, who had been losing four consecutive games.
Kembao, who is included in the starting lineup, played one-on-one with Lee Woo-suk (196 cm, G). He was forced to break through the left, which is his weakness, but dribbled to the left. And dribbled jumpers in front of two defenders. He reported his first score of the game.
Kembao grabbed the ball on the opposite side of Lee Jae-do (180 cm, G). As Kembao carried the ball, Lee Jae-do displayed his offensive capabilities. He earned points by deploying 2-2 and participating in offensive rebounds. Kembao's hidden contribution was shown.
However, Kembao's offensive pattern was read by Hyundai Mobis. Kembao's breakthrough to the right was blocked by Lee Woo-suk's defense. Nevertheless, Kembao continued to try to break through, but Kembao's breakthrough did not break through Hyundai Mobis' assistance.
In addition, Sono failed to secure an offensive route until Lee Jae-do. For that reason, Sono fell behind 11-14 in the fourth minute and 38 seconds into the match. Sono coach Kim Tae-sul had to exhaust his first timeout.
And Kembao couldn't match his defensive teamwork with his teammates. Kembao's defensive weakness fell prey to Hyundai Mobis, which was forced to suffer a 2-2 attack by Hyundai Mobis. Despite Sono coach Kim Tae-sul's call for a timeout, Sono was pushed to 11-25 with 2:55 left before the end of the first quarter. Kembao had to step back to the bench with 2:42 left before the end of the first quarter.
Sono added the final 2:42 of the first quarter without Kembao. However, the team narrowed the gap with Hyundai Mobis to 18-30. It started the second quarter on a positive note. Kembao also had to keep that in mind.
Kembao came back to the court at 2 minutes and 7 seconds into the second quarter. Kembao increased the speed of his offense and defense switch with his teammates. In particular, he quickly moved on to Sono's side. He also joined the fastball at 3 minutes and 27 seconds into the second quarter, contributing to Alpha Kaba's (208 centimeters, C) score on the putback. He also narrowed the gap with Hyundai Mobis to 27-39.
Kembao made superb use of Hyundai Mobis' Dinai Defense. After that, he easily finished Lee Jae-do's pass. He did not give up hope 31-44.
Kembao tried to gain strength through defensive rebound and fastball deployment. He passed the ball to Lee Jae-do, who was on his right side, two minutes and 25 seconds before the end of the second quarter. He also helped Lee score a fastball. He also gave a superb no-look pass to Sono fans one minute and 29 seconds before the end of the second quarter.
Kembao, however, failed to break through the right. He couldn't show his talent freely. Sono couldn't get close to Hyundai Mobis, as Kembao failed to score. The first half was 42-52.
Kembao came back to the court in the third quarter. He boxed out and passed to create an atmosphere of pursuit. However, Sono did not display as good performance as he did in the second quarter. He could not overcome the two-digit deficit.
However, Kembao tried to adapt himself to Sono's defense rotation. He also carefully figured out the path of Hyundai Mobis. He also stole the pass of Gage Prim (205 cm, C) three minutes and seven seconds before the end of the third quarter. He threw cold water on Hyundai Mobis.
However, Sono failed to stop Shaun Long (206 cm, C) at all. Also, he got three points from Hyundai Mobis players in Korea. Sono, who failed to defend, finished the third quarter 56-77. The word "hope" faded.
Kembao could not pass any more. He made a breakthrough by scoring three-pointers and breaking through. He scored five points for five minutes after the start of the fourth quarter. He attempted to narrow the gap with Hyundai Mobis by some means. 먹튀검증
However, the result was split quickly. Coach Kim Tae-sul called Kembao to the bench five minutes and five seconds before the end of the game. The team gave chances to those who need to build up sense of play and physical stamina.
Kembao could no longer play in the match against Hyundai Mobis. He finished the match with 30 minutes and 6 seconds, 10 points and 6 rebounds (attack 2) and 6 assists. His overall record was not bad. However, his field-fighting success rate (2 points: 2/6, 3 points: 1/6) was disappointing. Above all, he failed to show his talents to his heart's content. Kembao's strengths and weaknesses were read by Hyundai Mobis' defense.
