Directly to the semifinals achieved in 9 years. But the joy was short-lived.
Changwon LG achieved the feat of going straight to the semifinals in nine years after taking first place in the regular league in the 2013-14 season. For those who have been thirsty for spring basketball, if not until the dark ages, this 2022-23 season has become a great opportunity to become a springboard for a leap forward.
But the sad news came. Asem Marey, who was injured in a game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis on the 29th, was diagnosed with muscle damage in his left calf. This is the result of a detailed examination in Changwon on the 30th. LG plans to undergo an additional examination in Seoul to find out more accurate results.
Marey was already shocked in the same area in the match against Seoul SK on the 26th. After that, the recovery was not bad, so I played against Hyundai Mobis, but after a collision with Jang Jae-seok in the 2nd quarter, I complained of great pain and couldn’t stand on the court for the rest of the time.
An LG official said, “The result of a detailed examination in Changwon was calf muscle damage. First of all, he is scheduled to undergo additional examinations in Seoul. First of all, Marey’s injury information was sent to the hospital in Seoul. However, he said that there are things that cannot be confirmed only with the video, so he must go up and see them himself. As of now, his physical condition is not good and he is unable to move. He plans to schedule it in the next week or so,” he explained.
LG is very fortunate to have gone straight to the semifinals. First of all, you can check Marey’s physical condition during the playoffs in the round of 6. Of course, there is no guarantee that they will digest the playoffs in the quarterfinals in normal condition. In the worst case, you may have to use the foreign player replacement right to find a replacement foreign player.온라인바카라
Muscle damage is an injury that takes longer than expected to recover. Also, the risk of recurrence is not small. LG lost the ‘most important’ player at the most important moment.
Nevertheless, LG tries to look at the current situation with a positive gaze. An LG official said, “If it’s the worst, we can find a new foreign player, but for now, we’re going to focus on Marey. There is time. For now, we can only hope that Marey’s condition improves before the semifinal playoffs.”
If Mareyman returns to normal condition, LG can also expect to advance to the championship match after 9 years. They are those who have not yet won the KBL championship since its founding. Maybe this season is too short. Seoul SK and Jeonju KCC, no matter who comes up, they are not easy opponents. Anyang KGC, which is aiming for an integrated victory on the opposite line, is also a huge enemy. However, LG’s current power is enough to compete. Of course, there is a condition that Marey will return.
