In a certain gym in Jamsil South Korea, two South Korean professional teams are now playing a tune match to create early chemistry in their own respective teams.
Those teams are Suwon KT Sonicboom, the team who finished 2nd in the standings last season with a good 37-17 record, and Seoul Samsung Thunders, who finished dead last in the league with a record of 9-45.
But as the current game progressed, it clearly showed that those records meant nothing anymore as you and your team are going head to head with KT, 71-73 at the end of the 3rd with them leading by two points.
"Man, it's been a while since I felt that we really are a good team," One player from your team said, making Jun chuckle a bit.
"Well, Let's just say that you guys are now reaping the results of playing badly last year because you guys managed to get me on this team now," Jun said confidently, not realizing that he ruffled some feathers to the players who played for the team last season.
"What did you say again, rookie?" one veteran player asked Jun, who immediately apologized because of the fear that he might get punished later.
The coach then called Jun for some pointers.
The team's veteran players seeing that Jun won't hear them anymore decided to talk about him more
"But seriously his presence on the court alone makes it easy for everyone," one player said looking at the stat sheet, showing that Jun already got 19 points and 7 rebounds with the 4th quarter yet to be played.
"I'll do agree with that, but he needs to pass the ball, he is always looking to score," another player said, clearly not happy about Jun's not passing the ball.
"Well, It is hard to trust us when we went 9-45 last season, so I guess we are in no position to complain" he added, causing the other veteran players to sigh.
Meanwhile, You are having a decent game yourself with 6 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds so far, but if one has to pick a bad spot of your game right is your FG attempt(An: FG: In the game of basketball, a field goal refers to any basket a player scores during regular gameplay, from inside the arc that designates the three-point line on the court. A standard field goal refers to any regulation shot a player attempts from inside the three-point line.).
With you currently shooting 2/6 from the field, all of them are 3-point shot attempts.
While you were resting from the bench one of the assistant coaches approached you.
"Y/n great job controlling the pace of the game so far, be sure to continue that playmaking virtuoso you are currently showing," he said, making you smile a bit.
The 4th quarter started with it being still a neck and neck game.
----
It is now the final minute of the game with KT still leading 94-93. You guys are on the bench, listening to the coach as he draws plays that you guys will run once the game is resumed.
The play was just you getting the ball and immediately passing it to Jun at the post (An: The post is in the area of the basketball court from the free-throw line to the baseline. )
With the coach trusting Jun to either score or pass the ball at the open man, you and the others know that he will definitely try to score, with him already having 31 points and 13 rebounds.
As the game resumed, You received the ball and immediately passed into Jun.
Jun tried to shake the defender with a very difficult fade-away shot.
Which missed badly.
You and the others immediately went back for defense with 32 seconds left.
In this situation, usually, the team would try their best to defend without fouling cuz if the team forced a shot clock violation, there will still be a time for the defending team to generate an offense.
