“Basketball is a team sport.”

Park Ji-hoon of professional basketball’s Anyang Chung Kwanjang pointed out that Daryl Monroe and Duvan Maxwell are playing just as well as Seoul Samsung’s “monster center” Kofi Coburn, despite their underwhelming records.

The Jungkwanjang defeated the Samsung 81-63 on Thursday in an away game of the 2023-2024 Jungkwanjang Professional Basketball League regular season at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul.

Coburn, a 210-centimeter center, led the way with 32 points and 18 rebounds, but he was unable to overcome Jeong Kwanjang, which had a solid performance from Park Ji-hoon (16 points), Choi Sung-won (12 points), and Lee Jong-hyun (11 points).

Monroe, Chung’s foreign player, was limited to seven points and three rebounds on the night. Maxwell had nine points and three rebounds.

Combined, they had 16 points and six rebounds, less than half of Coburn’s total.

However, Park emphasized to the media after the game that you can’t put a price on the “behind-the-scenes work” of the two players.

“Their individual records may be down, but the contributions they make to the team are huge,” Park said. “Their defense and communication (with domestic players) are really good. I don’t think they are inferior to (Coburn) at all.”

In fact, this season, Monroe hasn’t just been focused on her individual offense, she’s also been involved in the overall game plan.

He doesn’t get credit for assists because it’s not the final pass that leads to a basket, but he focuses on picking up the ball at the top, choosing the direction of the offense, and setting up screens for guards like Park Ji-hoon and Choi Sung-won to focus on the offense.

The team’s success is also attributed to the 토토사이트 team’s atmosphere, despite the departure of big forwards Yang Hee-jong (retired), Oh Se-geun (SK), and Moon Sung-gon (KT), all of whom have supported the team in recent years.

“With Heejong’s departure, I thought there was a big gap in leadership, but captain Jung Jun-won and Monroe are doing a good job,” Park said, adding, “The whole team has a lot of willpower. I want to say thank you to all of them.”
