[Asian Games] ‘Street Basketball’ Where you Grab, Pull and Push… The Intense Coat Smells Like Sweat
The 3-on-3 basketball team has a fierce fight with Turkmenistan... Lee Doo- won, who doesn't blow the foul whistle often, says, "I got into the habit of playing 5-on-5"... Seo Myung-jin “We are also having fun with 3-on-3”
Lee Doo-won (KT) suffered swelling in his neck and shoulders after the 4th game of Group B of the 3-on-3 basketball group stage between Turkmenistan and Hangzhou Asian Games on the 29th.
Lee Doo-won slowly took a breath in the common reporting area on one side of the Deqing Court in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, and said, "Even though the fight is really rough, I don't foul."
It seemed like normal breathing had not yet fully returned. 카지노사이트원
The national team led by coach Kang Yang-hyun defeated Turkmenistan 19-15.
Players from both teams fought fiercely.
In almost all defensive scenes, he hit his body hard and tried to hinder the attacker's movements as much as possible.
Generally, in 5-on-5 basketball, defense is done by reading the opponent's movement line and taking steps first.
However, on this day, the players used their arms as often as their quick feet.
By keeping his shoulders and arms close to the opponent's body, he accelerated and made the incoming attacker uncomfortable.
With his hands, he pushed the opponent away from the rim as much as possible, in the opposite direction of the thrust.
This is a scene where a foul would be called in 5-on-5 basketball.
But the whistle did not sound.
Then, the attackers, trying to keep their breakthrough movement in line with the rim as much as possible, shook off the opponent's hand gestures with their own hands and used their shoulders to collide with the defender's body with as much force as possible.
When the defender was pushed back by one collision, he collided again and moved little by little toward the goal, creating space for a shot.
Scenes like this, which are like watching a 'bullfight', do not appear often in 5-on-5 basketball.
When the bodies collide with each other with as much force as possible, a foul on one side is often called.
Even if this is not the case, in 5-on-5 basketball, where 10 people are running on the court and the space is limited, the probability of scoring is lowered due to the interference of defenders who come to help during such 'power struggles', so such physical fights are avoided.
Our country's national team are all professional players.
Those who only played 5-on-5 basketball kept looking at the referee with dissatisfied faces because the whistle did not sound.
3-on-3 basketball, which was introduced starting with the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games, originated from ‘street basketball.’
From the time founder James Naismith first invented the sport of basketball in 1891, goal posts were erected on both sides.
However, around the world, there are many cases where only one goal is installed outdoors rather than in indoor gymnasiums.
Of course, unlike 'official basketball' where there is a referee, there is no one on the street to sort out the rights and wrongs related to fouls.
There are often cases where physical fights become more intense and turn into actual violent fights.
Indoor gyms with good conditions for exercising and outdoor courts have different environments.
In hot weather approaching 30℃, players appeared on the court sweating even before the game started.
On the heated special court, the smell of sweat from players from all over Asia who competed fiercely did not leave.
This type of environment and style of play is unfamiliar to national team players.
Lee Won-seok (Samsung), who entered professional basketball as the first overall rookie in 2021, said he had little experience playing outdoor basketball like this.
Lee Doo-won also said, "There's a reason why we had trouble at the beginning of the tournament.
We only played 5-on-5 basketball, so we had a habit of showing up without realizing it, so it was difficult to adapt."
He added, "I also told Kim Dong-hyun (KCC) during the game.
Even if no fouls were called, I told him to do his part until the end and then protest."
Lee Doo-won seemed to realize that 3-on-3 basketball is more lenient on fouls than 5-on-5 basketball.
Doowon Lee scored 12 out of 19 points.
Lee Doo-won, who is 204 cm tall and weighs about 100 kg, is strong and uses his shoulders to overcome Turkmenistan's defense from the front and scores repeatedly under the goal.
Lee Doo-won said, "Because there is a lot of physical struggle, the shot is shaky.
(The physical struggle) also plays a role in the physical aspect," but added, "This is a team that has to fight for 1-point shots (2-point shots in 5-on-5 basketball), not outside shots, so we should not avoid physical fights." “It is possible.
There is no reason for us not to be harsh,” he emphasized.
Myung-jin Seo (Hyundai Mobis) said, “There is fun unique to 3-on-3 basketball.
Those who want a quick game will find 3-on-3 basketball more fun.”
He added, “The more we play, the more fun it feels.
It is a separate sport.
“I think it’s at a level where I can stand,” he said.
