He overcame a 16-point deficit and persistently pursued it, but failed to overcome the last crisis. Ulsan Hyundai Mobis coach Yang Dong-geun (44) swallowed his disappointment with the turnovers and concentration of the match.
Hyundai Mobis lost 76-78 to Anyang Jeonggwanjang in the 2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball Regular League away game at Jeonggwanjang Arena in Anyang on the 9th.

On this day, Hyundai Mobis was losing by 42-58 16 points in the third quarter. Hyundai Mobis, which showed its hindsight, succeeded in turning the tables in the fourth quarter. However, he failed to take advantage of the decisive attack opportunity at the end of the game and lost again.
Coach Yang Dong-geun said at a press conference after the game, "In the end, it's a turnover. If you commit seven turnovers in the second quarter, you can't win the game," he said. In fact, Hyundai Mobis recorded seven turnovers in the second quarter and four in the third quarter, when it completely gave way to the articles of association.
Regarding the part that made the close game after a fierce chase, he also looked back coolly, saying, "The score should not have been so wide in the first place."
At the end of the fourth quarter, which was the outcome, Hyundai Mobis failed to show a smooth development in the attack opportunity. In response, head coach Yang Dong-geun said, "I'm so sorry for the last two attacks. I'm giving the guards a lot of opportunities to solve such a situation, he said. "Through today's game, the players must have felt a lot about what to do."

Igbounu, who played only at least 1:56 to a maximum of 18:57 this season, played 36 minutes and 7 seconds to make a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Coach Yang Dong-geun said, "It is not easy for any player to play for one or two minutes and get a sense of the game. After coming to Korea, I couldn't take much time to play because of Hammons' presence, but Igbounu would have gotten a lot of sense through this opportunity, he said. "In the end, you have to play directly with the players who are good at it." I think I did well today," he said, encouragingly.
