Professional basketball team Wonju DB defeated Suwon KT to start the season with four straight wins.

DB defeated Suwon KT 91-84 in an away game of the 2023-2024 regular season at the Suwon KT Arena on March 30.

DB, whose head coach Kim Joo-sung became the official head coach after serving as an acting coach for the second half of last season, has won four straight games since the start of the season, defeating Goyang Sono, Changwon LG, Busan KCC and now KT.

KT, on the other hand, defeated Changwon LG in its opening game, but has since lost to Seoul SK, Anyang Jeong-Kwanjang, and DB, 카지노사이트 dropping to ninth place with Sono with a 1-3 record.

In the first quarter, KT hit five 3-pointers, including three from Han Hee-won, to take a slim 28-27 lead, but DB turned the tables early in the second quarter, led by Dedrick Lawson, and went on a 38-30 run.

DB led 54-48 at halftime as KT continued to play without their two foreign players, Paris Bass and Michael Eric, with just over four minutes left in the second quarter. Lawson had 22 points and five rebounds in the first half.

In the middle of the third quarter, DB scored 10 straight points, including a three-pointer by Kim Young-hyun at 56-52, to quickly create a double-digit gap, and even rested Lawson at the end of the quarter to pull away at 79-58.

From there, however, KT went on the offensive as their defense and fast break came alive.

They held DB to two points in the first five-plus minutes of the fourth quarter, and Ha Yoon-ki and Bass scored steadily to pull within 82-83 with 2:17 left.

But Lawson put on a “one-man show” with free throws, a midrange shot, and a three-pointer to make it 91-82 with 42 seconds to play, giving DB the win.

Lawson, who played for Sono’s predecessor Dayone last season before switching to DB, finished with 35 points and eight rebounds to lead his team to another victory. Lee Sun Albano added 19 points and six assists, while Kang Sang-jae added 10 points, nine rebounds and five assists.

For KT, Ha Yun-ki led the way with 25 points and six rebounds. 온라인카지노

Three-time 2023 Pitcher of the Year Eric Peddie (30-NC Dinos) showed that he is healthy in his first game back in two weeks.

Pedi started Game 1 of the playoffs (best-of-three PO-5) against the KT Wiz at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon on Tuesday and pitched six innings, allowing one run (one earned) on three hits (one home run) with one walk and 12 strikeouts.

The 12 strikeouts were the most in a single game in playoff history. The previous record was 11 strikeouts by Sun Dong-yeol (Hattae Tigers) in 1989 and Chris Flexen (Doosan Bears) in 2020.

Thanks to the NC bats, Peddie came off the mound in the top of the seventh inning with an 8-1 lead.

Peddy was hit in the forearm by a pitch in his final regular-season start on March 16 and missed the first game of the wild-card decider and all three semifinal playoff games.

As if to make it up to his teammates who had to make it through the postseason without an ace, Peddie kept the KT bats in check with a dominant performance.

Pedi set the pace early by striking out the side in the first and second innings.

He got leadoff hitters Kim Sang-soo and Hwang Jae-gyun to pop out to shortstop and Anthony Alford, who went 5-for-8 with two home runs in the regular season series, to strike out swinging.

There was a brief crisis in the bottom of the third.

On a three-pitch, one-strike count, Moon threw a two-seam fastball to leadoff hitter Sang-chul Moon, who hit a solo shot to right field. The home run cut KT’s lead to 1-4.

A grounder to the next batter in the order bounced off the second base bag for an infield hit.

However, Pedi kept his composure and quickly ended the inning without allowing another hit.

The NC bats also took the pressure off Pedi’s shoulders in the top of the fourth inning with a four-run “big inning” that sent KT starter William Cuevas packing after three innings.

Pedi, who was well-rested during the prolonged fourth inning, struck out three straight batters against KT center fielders Alford, Park Byung-ho and Jang Jang-woo in the bottom of the fourth.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, he showed both passion and coolness on the mound.

With one out and a full count, a ball in the upper part of the strike zone was ruled a ball, and Pedi left the mound to make a strong appeal.

NC manager Kang In-hwa immediately jumped out of the dugout and started to evolve, and the NC coaching staff also visited the mound separately to calm Pedi down.

KT manager Lee Kang-chul then protested, asking if it was possible to visit the mound twice in a row, but the umpires decided that Kang had no intention of visiting the mound.

Pedi, who drew a walk in a chaotic atmosphere, gave up a single to pinch-hitter Lee Ho-yeon to left, but struck out Kim Sang-soo on a wild pitch.

He then struck out Hwang Jae-gyun, Alford and Park Byung-ho in the sixth inning to set a PO record for most strikeouts in a single game. 슬롯

‘Golf Empress’ Park In-bee, who took a break from playing golf after giving birth to her daughter, said she is not planning to retire from the game, but will not return to the tour anytime soon.

“As a golf player, I don’t think I need to declare my retirement,” said Park, who participated in the ‘Jexio Father & Son 2023 Team Classic,’ a golf tournament organized by Dunlop Sports Korea at Anseong Benest Golf Club in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, as a Jexio ambassador.

“If you say you’re going to quit golf, you might change your mind,” he said, adding, “I have a permanent seed on both the U.S. and Korean tours, so I’m going to take it easy and see what happens.”

However, Park said she will not be taking to the field as a player for the time being, saying, “I think it will be difficult to return to the tour next year.”

Park’s lack of training and practice makes it difficult for her to dedicate herself to touring, as the Paris Olympics will be held next year, when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will select its athletes.

Park In-bee, who played all 18 holes with her coach and husband Nam Ki-hyeop, said, “I’ve played ‘myung rang golf’ many times since I gave birth.” “I hit the ball well in the first round after giving birth, but it’s a little different nowadays,” she laughed coolly.

Park, who is now busy taking care of her 6-month-old daughter, gave an unexpected answer to the question, “Which is harder, golf or parenting?” saying that parenting is easier and more fun.

“Of course, it’s easier because I have a lot of people helping me, including my husband,” she added.

“My daughter is so beautiful,” Park In-bee said, adding, “I want her to be a golfer too, and I want to compete in this tournament with her in the future.”

The Jexio Father & Son 2023 Team Classic, held for the seventh time this year, is the only father and son golf tournament in Korea.

Jexio Ambassadors Inbee Park, Na-yeon Choi, and Ha-neul Kim participated with their husbands, brothers, and fathers, respectively.

Park In-bee, who has won 20 of her 21 career victories with Jexio clubs, told the participants how to putt well, saying, “It’s important to have your own sense of putt,” and advised them to “not pay too much attention to the technical part or stroke, but to use your own sense.”

In particular, Park In-bee said, “Don’t be greedy to putt too much and put it at a distance where you can get OK if it doesn’t go in. Above all, distance is important,” she said, adding, “I often look at the hole, which improves my sense of distance.”

On the day, 120 players from 60 teams participated in the Jexio Father & Son 2023 Team Classic. There were more than 500 applicants, who were selected according to the criteria set by Dunlop Sports Korea. 스포츠토토

The NC Dinos swept the KT Wiz in the first round of the best-of-five (PO) baseball playoffs to extend their winning streak to five games this fall.

NC pounded opposing starter William Cuevas for 13 hits and took control of the game with a 9-5 victory over KT in Game 1 of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Postseason PO that kicked off at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, on Tuesday.

NC has a 78 percent chance of advancing to the Korean Series and will play Game 2 of the PO at the same venue on May 31.

Until last year, the winner of Game 1 had advanced to the Korean Series 25 out of 32 times in the best-of-five series.

NC, which entered the postseason as the fourth-ranked team in the regular season, continued its surge with a five-game winning streak through the wild-card deciding game (one win), the semifinals (three wins) and the first round of the playoffs.

Eric Peddy (NC), who leads the league in wins (20), ERA (2.00), and strikeouts (209) this season, and Cuevas, who has a 100 percent winning percentage, ended the first game with a complete game victory for Peddy.

After two weeks of rehabilitation following a diagnosed bruise on his right forearm from a straight hit by Ko Jong-wook in the regular season against the KIA Tigers on April 16, NC’s three-time pitching champion Peddie, in his first appearance in 14 days and his first start in fall baseball, set a new PO record for most strikeouts in a single game (12 – previously 11), pitching six innings of three-hit, one-run ball to secure the win.

NC dominated KT, who were playing their first game in 20 days, on offense with a high level of concentration and a keen sense of the game.

KT, which clinched second place early, began preparing for the postseason after finishing its last game of the regular season on the 10th, but two crucial errors and poor defense cost it the win.

NC opened the scoring in the first inning with a leadoff single to right-center by Son Ah-seop, a double to left-center by Park Min-woo to put runners on second and third, and a sacrifice fly to left field by Jason Martin.

Leading 1-0 in the second inning, leadoff hitter Young-soo Oh drove a 149 mph fastball off Cuevas’ stomach for a solo arch that landed in the left-center field stands.

After taking control of the game, NC piled on the runs in the third and fourth innings, taking advantage of KT’s mistakes to stamp their dinosaur footprints deep and clear on the road to victory.

After a high fly ball from leadoff hitter Park Min-woo was missed at the last second by KT third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun, Park Geon-woo came to the plate with the bases loaded and smashed an RBI double that went like a bullet past Hwang and rolled into left field.

Martin followed with a grounder to first and third, and Kwon Hee-dong mocked the advancing KT infield for a priority hit to make it 4-0.

After KT rallied with a leadoff solo home run by Moon Sang-cheol in the seventh, NC pulled Cuevas off the mound with a “big inning” (four or more runs in one inning) in the fourth, effectively sealing the game.

Kim Hyung-jun drew a leadoff walk, and after Kim Joo-won followed with a single, Cuevas made a bad throw to the shortstop, giving NC runners on first and second with no outs.

With Son at bat, Cuevas gave up a one-base hit to put runners on second and third.

Son knocked Cuevas down with a single to right field.

Park Min-woo followed with a walk to load the bases, and with two outs, Kwon Hee-dong drove in a run with a triple to right-center off KT’s second pitcher Uhm Sang-baek to make it 6-1.

KT’s Choi Byeong-dae tried to chase it down, but couldn’t get it in his glove. The official scorer recorded it as a triple by Kwon Hee-dong, not an error.

Cuevas, who was sent out by KT as the must-win pitcher, was an unblemished 12-0 in the regular season, but on this day, he gave up seven runs (four earned) on six hits, including one home run, and two walks in three innings to suffer his first loss of the season at a crucial stage.

NC scored its ninth run in the top of the ninth inning when Oh Young-soo singled up the middle.

Kwon Hee-dong had three RBIs and Park Gun-woo and Oh Young-soo each had two.

KT took some consolation in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run home run by Choi Jae-dae.

The game was attended by 16,241 fans at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, just shy of a full house (17,600). 파워볼분석
