"The defensive system is caught on the record, and I can see the improvement of the score on the ball screen."
Seoul Samsung, which was ranked 10th in the last three seasons, entered the All-Star break in eighth place with 11 wins and 18 losses.
Although the team suspended its consecutive wins after losing to Changwon LG, it has secured four consecutive wins, thereby boosting its chances of advancing to the playoffs by escaping from the lower ranks. Currently, the gap with sixth-ranked Wonju DB (14 wins and 16 losses) is 2.5 games.
Manager Kim Hyo-beom, who leads Samsung, often mentions the names of coaches in interviews before and after the game.
Ahead of the match against Busan KCC on the 13th, head coach Kim Hyo-beom said, "I'm so fortunate to have coach Kim Tae-kyung," adding, "Coach Kim Tae-kyung had an encouraging record even when he started the season with six consecutive losses. When I saw the lineup record that can be picked by the NBA, I said, "Yes, there is hope." It gave me a direction to go further when it was on the rise. He said, "It's a precious and precious talent for us."
When asked how to stop Cal Tamayo before the game against Changwon LG on the 15th, head coach Kim Hyo-beom once again mentioned coach Kim Tae-kyung, saying, "If you settle down at the low post, your shot success rate will go up, so you have to catch it as far as possible," adding, "Coach Kim Tae-kyung analyzed the success rate (Tamayo's fielding) depending on how deep and how far you catch it and reflected it when training the players. I ordered him to fight to that position (with the success rate falling)."
Coach Kim Tae-kyung is a power analysis expert with experience in analyzing the U.S. NCAA Gonzaga University, Duke University's women's basketball team, and the Korean men's and women's basketball teams.
Coach Kim Hyo-beom built a relationship when he was in the NBA G League, and when Kim Hyo-beom took the helm of Samsung, coach Kim Tae-kyung took over as Samsung coach.
Coach Kim Tae-kyung, who met LG ahead of the game, said, "When Kim Hyo-beom mentioned the record, I analyze the team I analyze (three Samsung coaches take charge of three teams each and analyze the power) as good and tell the coach. In fact, I have less time than when I was in the U.S. There are more problems with our team's attack, so I send the report on the attack to the coach," he said. "When I was in the U.S., I had students organize the lineup record because there were many teams, but it took too much time to ask Kim Kwang-chul to do this, but there was not much use, so I asked Yonsei players to do it." He said, "I like this comprehensively, and when Coburn goes out, I repeatedly send it and communicate with the coach."
"I was worried, but I was so thankful to the players and they followed me so well," said Kim Tae-kyung, who has no experience in playing as a coach. "I try to break the prejudice against the players because they are so smart," she said. "I also have to watch the video once more to get to know KBL or our players. I learn a lot about that. That's why I try to keep studying and maintaining it." 스포츠토토
When asked about the driving force behind Samsung's four consecutive wins, coach Kim Tae-kyung said, "It's better to have a simple and systematic defense. When there's no Coburn in attack, it's better to use the ball screen," adding, "We're No. 1 in average score using the ball screen." That's why I thought Coburn was more of an opportunity to return (from injury). As Coburn comes in, another option for the ball screen is added, which creates synergy. The coach maximized it. "The record shows the defense system, and I can see the improvement of ball screen scoring."
"We have to continue competing. Whether it's a good or bad situation, I will not lose the mindset of winning the competition," said Kim Tae-kyung, who played for about half of the 2024-2025 season. "If I can be of help in a single presentation, I will invest more time and work hard for that one. If I make such a good routine, I look forward to next season even more. I thank the coach for his understanding."
