Samsung's Choi Sung-mo (186cm, G)'s career high has faded.
The Seoul Samsung Lions lost 79-84 to the Changwon LG Twins in the fourth round of the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball league held at Changwon Gymnasium on Sunday. Samsung, which has taken the 18th loss (11 wins), maintained its eighth place with consecutive wins.
Samsung, which was leading 39-36, widened the gap by 60-53 by effectively targeting LG's regional defense at the beginning of the second half. However, it lost 31 points in the fourth quarter alone and bowed its head. It was painful to allow six three-point shots at the final match.
Samsung, which has been on the rise recently, had been on a four-game winning streak before the game. After winning against LG (92-88) on Jan. 9 just six days ago, Samsung sought to win five consecutive games for the first time in eight seasons since the 2016-2017 season, but lacked concentration at the last minute of the game.
Samsung lost the momentum at the most important moment. Still, it was thanks to Choi who kept winning until the end.
Choi, who started the game on the day, spent 31 minutes (19 seconds) in the court and scored 24 points (2 assists), including six three-point shots. He was the only one who showed stable performance in the team, boasting a success rate of 60 percent for three-point shots.
After joining the pro league in 2016, Choi became a free agent before this season and moved to Samsung. After wearing the Samsung uniform, Choi had wings to wear.
Given the most playing time (26 minutes and 2 seconds) since his professional debut, he has been showing off his presence to the fullest this season.
As the time spent in the court increased, most indicators rose vertically. Choi, who has posted double-digit (10.1 points) average scores for the first time in nine years since her debut, posted career high scores on the day.
Choi's true value in the match was revealed from the second quarter. When the team was trailing 11-22, Choi led the team's offense with three 3-pointers in the second quarter. As a result, Samsung narrowed the gap with LG to the second half. 스포츠토토
Choi still performed well in the second half. She displayed cheerful movements and active activities to score seven points in the third quarter alone. Samsung, which put Choi in the lead, evenly distributed scoring shots, turning the tables with 60-53.
She lost momentum again in the fourth quarter, but Choi stuck to LG until the very end. Trailing by six points (76-82), Samsung continued its hope of victory with a 79-82 shot by Choi just before the game ended.
However, the goddess of victory raised LG's hand, and Choi Sung-mo's career high, which held the opponent to the end, faded.
