Yoo Do-hoon (59), head coach of Anyang Jeonggwanjang Red Boosters, appeared to blame himself after the "leading" Changwon LG Sakers match. Unfortunately, he missed the game after a close game, so he showed signs of blaming himself.

Anyang Jeonggwanjang lost 69-77 in the fifth round of the "2025-2026 LG Electronics" professional basketball at Jeonggwanjang Arena in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 8th. He led 52-50 until the end of the third quarter, but failed to overcome the match in a close game.

With this defeat, Jeong Kwan-jang failed to win three consecutive games and lost the second place to Wonju DB Promy. On the other hand, leading Changwon LG succeeded in widening the gap with the second-place group.

For Jeong Kwan-jang, it was a bit of a disappointment. This is because it maintained a 61-61 tight trend until the early and mid-quarter of the fourth quarter. However, Johnny O'Brien's foul came out and LG Yoo Ki-sang's three-point success widened the score gap.

Coach Yoo Do-hoon, who entered the interview room as a leader, said, "The defense that we prepared until the first and second quarters was well done, but especially from the fourth quarter, the defense collapsed. As a result, I could see that he was pushed back in the Opens," he said, looking back on the game.

At the same time, he put the blame on himself. Coach Yoo said, "I should have taken not only the appointment of players but also defensive changes, but I think I made a mistake. I hope the director thinks that he can make mistakes unless he is a god. As the next game manager, I will prepare well," he said.

Regarding the part where he donated as many as 12 points to Yoo Ki-sang in the fourth quarter, coach Yoo Do-hoon also said, "We should have changed the following defense to a little more defensive type. I should have instructed the players to change, but I think I made a mistake. As a result, the players really did their best," he recalled.

On the same day, Jeong Kwan-jang threw 20 3 points and succeeded only 3, recording a 15% success rate. It contrasted with LG, which was good at 41%. Coach Yoo Do-hoon said in response, "There was a chance, but I just didn't go in. The players also did not forget to encourage them to shoot with confidence in the future.
