Wonju DB Fromi won 107-103 against Suwon KT Sonic Boom in the sixth round of the 2023-2024 professional basketball league held at Wonju Gymnasium on Wednesday. DB, which has won seven consecutive games, erased its last magic number on the day and topped the regular league in six years since the 2017-2018 season.
Not many members have won both regular league titles six years ago and today. They are Kim Joo-sung, the team’s head coach, veteran Kim Hyun-ho, and Seo Min-soo. Among them, Seo Min-soo moved to the Changwon LG Sakers after winning the regular league title in the 2017-2018 season and finishing second in the championship game. Afterwards, he became an FA again last year and returned to his old DB.
As soon as he returned, he won another regular league championship. Although he played less time than six years ago, he was a valuable six-man resource for DB, which runs Triple Post.
After the regular league’s No. 1 ranking was confirmed, Seo Min-soo said, “It’s so good. Six years ago, our team was the last candidate, and we were dramatically ranked first, but it feels very different. I think it’s more meaningful because it’s a wire-to-wire victory.”
In the 2017-2018 season, Min played every game from the regular league to the playoffs and the championship game. Other players who played every game were Kim Joo-sung and Dionte Burton.
On Kim Joo-sung, who is leading the bench while playing on the court together, Noh said, “You are the same as when you were a player. You are always meticulous and lead the team comfortably. You are a reliable person.”
As he won the regular league title as soon as he made a comeback to his pro baseball team, his future goals are all the more pressing. In the game on the day, he also invigorated his team by scoring a decisive three-point shot amid bloody battle. As a result, he tries to do his part regardless of the time he plays.
Finally, Seo Min-soo said, “I used to be the youngest member of the team back then, so I relied on them a lot, but now I have gained a lot of experience. There are ups and downs in playing time this season, but I have to play my role as a six-man. Only then can the main players go to the playoffs and use their energy in important situations. I will focus on my role in the rest of the games.” 토토사이트넷
