    Sanchez misses Kim Sun-bin, the ‘one-run’ man, and the five runs…

    A pitch that should have been a double ended up in the outfield, leading to five runs and a crucial momentum swing that could decide the game. KIA Tigers Mario Sanchez was once again unable to generate any rebounding momentum.

    The Tigers fell to a 1-6 defeat against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on April 13. The loss dropped the Kia to 45-46-2 on the season and dropped them back to a five-game winning percentage.

    Sanchez, who started the game, had been struggling lately. He was brought in as a replacement after playing in the Taiwanese Professional Baseball League and has faltered since his sensational debut (6⅓ innings, 5 hits (1 HR), 10 strikeouts, 1 run against KT on July 9). His last two games have been mixed results. On July 1, he gave up seven runs on 10 hits (one home run) in 4 innings against Samsung Electronics with four walks and four strikeouts, and on July 6, he gave up four runs on five hits (one home run) in 4⅓ innings against Hanwha with four walks and six strikeouts.

    Once again, the game didn’t start well. Back-to-back singles in the first inning put runners on first and second, and he allowed a leadoff single in the second inning, but he didn’t allow a run to score. Instead, he used his command to get a strikeout in each of those situations to limit the damage.

    In the third inning, the inhibitors came off. No help from the defense. The third inning was also a crisis. The leadoff hitter gave up a single to Ahn Kwon-soo and a walk to Ahn Chi-hong, putting runners on first and second with no outs.

    He then faced Lee Jung-hoon, who induced a grounder to the second baseman. However, second baseman Kim Kyu-sung fielded the ball short and threw it into the outfield. The second baseman scored the first run of the game. At 150.3 mph, it wasn’t a slow pitch, but it wasn’t an unplayable pitch either.

    Eventually, the Kia bench realized that it was a clear error and immediately substituted Kim Kyu-sung. They brought in Choi Jeong-yong, but the situation didn’t change. Sanchez seemed to settle down, but the crisis continued. He gave up a single to Jeon Jun-woo, putting the bases loaded.

    However, he got out of the jam by striking out Goodrum on three pitches. Park Seung-wook hit an infield single to second base. Choi Jung-yong made a diving catch to keep the runners at bay. With the bases loaded, Choi struck out Kim Min-seok again.

    The best case scenario for Sanchez and KIA would have been to limit the damage to two runs in a clutch situation with an error. However, things didn’t go according to plan for KIA.

    With the bases loaded and two outs, Noh Jin-hyuk hit a three-run double over the left field fence. The score was 0-5, and the momentum was completely in Lotte’s favor. In the five-run outburst, Sanchez allowed just one earned run. The scorekeeper also felt that Sanchez could have kept the runs in check if he hadn’t made an error in the third inning.

    Starting second baseman Kim Sun-bin is currently out of the lineup with a sore hamstring. The second base position continues to be an issue. The team is anxious to get him back and miss his presence. Sanchez probably misses him too. 파워볼사이트

    OK Financial Group wins first Cup title with 34-point outburst, 30-point win over Park Sung-jin Samsung Fire

    The men’s professional volleyball team OK Financial Group won its first title in its 10th appearance in the Cup.

OK Financial Group had only finished as runners-up in the cup three times before, but after the appointment of new head coach Masashi Ogino, the team’s solid organizational skills helped them to win the title.

    Shin Seong-jin, who joined the team as a first-round pick last season, led the team to the title. After scoring 31 points in the semifinals to help the team defeat Japan’s Panasonic, Shin poured in 34 points on 72.3 percent shooting in the final.

    Shin was named the tournament’s MVP with 27 votes in the media voting, ahead of Chae Hwan (4).

    Samsung Fire’s Park Sung-jin, who scored 30 points, was named MIP with 24 votes.

    The Rising Star Award went to OK Financial Group’s Lee Jin-sung.

    As expected of a final, the first set was an epic battle for momentum. The cheers and disappointments of the players were evident at 1 point and 1 point. The winner of the first set was not revealed until late in the game.

    After a long rally at 20-20, a spike by Shin Shin-jin and an attack by Chae Chahwan gave OK Financial Group a 22-20 lead. Samsung Fire closed the gap to one point with a back-attack by Kim Jung-ho, but an error on Lee Ho-gun’s serve brought it back to two points. OK Financial Group did not miss this opportunity. Jeon Jin-sun blocked Park Sung-jin’s spike to make it 24-21 and set point. Samsung Fire pulled within one point at 23-24 with back-to-back spikes from Shin Shin-ho, but OK Financial Group won the first set 25-23 with a back-attack from Shin Shin-jin.

    In the second set, Samsung Fire made a last-ditch effort. Samsung Fire led by Park Sung-jin and Shin Shin-ho made it 22-22. Spikes from Park Sung-jin and Kim Jang-ho made it 24-22, but Samsung Fire didn’t give OK Financial Group a chance, and Kim Jun-woo blocked a fastball from Jeon Jin-sun to take the second set 25-22 and make it 1-1.

    The third set of the match was even more intense. The teams exchanged points until the score was tied at 23-23. OK Financial Group went up to 24 points with a spike from Shin Seong-jin. Samsung Fire, who needed to make a deuce, had a shaky reception and gave OK Financial Group a chance to attack, which OK Financial Group’s Chae Hwan succeeded in, winning 25-23 and taking a 2-1 lead.

    With the victory in hand, OK Financial Group took an early lead in the fourth set. Chae Hwan’s forward attack and Kwak Myung-woo’s blocking, combined with Shin Shin-jin’s back-attack, gave the team a quick 9-3 lead and brought them closer to victory. The gap never closed. The lead grew to nine points at 14-5, 17-8, and so on. Samsung Fire scored four consecutive points with a spike by Kim Jung-ho, a service ace by Park Sung-jin, and an attack error by Park Seung-soo to cut the deficit to three points, 12-17, and OK Financial Group’s error, 16-19. However, OK Financial Group finally won the match with Shin Shin-jin leading the way. 토토사이트

    U.S. cruises to 30-point win over undefeated Slovenia in evaluation game

    USA defeats Slovenia.

    The United States men’s national basketball team defeated Slovenia 92-62 in an exhibition game in Malaga, Spain, on Wednesday (Feb. 13).

    While the game was a win-or-lose affair, the two teams were in very different places heading into the game. 현금홀덤사이트 The United States, which won its first game against Puerto Rico in a blowout, had no significant absentees. Slovenia, on the other hand, was without ace Luka Doncic for the game, as Blatko Chančar recently went down with an ACL injury.

    The U.S. held a 47-33 advantage in rebounds and had the edge in possessions. Scorer Anthony Edwards (15 points) again led the team in scoring, while point guards Jaylen Brunson (11 points, 8 assists) and Tyreese Halliburton (10 points, 6 assists) also played well. Even Austin Reeves (11 points) scored in double figures in an evenly matched rotation.

    Slovenia, without Doncic, fell victim to a late fourth-quarter comeback that fell just short. Young P Gregor Glass, a 2001 graduate, led the way with 13 points, but no one else scored in double figures.

    The U.S. pounded Slovenia with back-to-back baskets from Ingram, Bridges and Brunson, and even got a nice block from reigning Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. Back-to-back baskets from Edwards later extended the lead, and the U.S. got evenly matched contributions from its bench, ending the first quarter with a 27-20 lead.

    In the second quarter, the U.S. extended its lead to double digits with Bobby Portis and Edwards coming up big. Slovenia, without Doncic, lacked the energy to stop the run. A Cam Johnson steal followed by a one-man fast break dunk to end the second quarter gave the U.S. a 47-31 lead heading into halftime.
    To start the third quarter, the U.S. attacked Slovenia from the outside with Bridges and Ingram. Down by as many as 20, Slovenia looked to break through with back-to-back three-pointers, but the USA answered with outside shooting from Cam Johnson and Austin Reeves. Halliburton’s slick hedgehog move helped the Americans close out the third quarter with a 67-49 lead.

    But the U.S. had a brief lull in the fourth quarter, allowing Slovenia to pull away. Not to be outdone, Slovenia pushed the lead to 13 points on a Glass three-pointer.

    The rattled USA got baskets from Edwards and Bridges, and managed to withstand Slovenia’s pressure defense to get out of trouble. With their offense back on track, the U.S. gradually increased their lead in the final minutes of the game. Reeves and Halliburton found the rim, and Walker Kessler followed with a spin move to close out the scoring.

    The U.S., looking to win the World Cup, will play defending champion Spain in an exhibition game on Thursday. The U.S. will then play Greece and Germany before kicking off its World Cup schedule on Sept. 26 against New Zealand.

    “Harden trade conditionally aborted”. Declaration from Philadelphia general manager Daryl Morey. US media “Harden’s joining camp a risk, Embiid’s prime wasted”.

    In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers couldn’t find a solution.

    ESPN and CBS Sports reported on the 13th (ET) that ‘Philadelphia has ended trade talks for 바카라사이트 James Harden. The team negotiated with the Los Angeles Clippers, but could not reach a meaningful agreement. Philadelphia will keep Harden for training camp.

    It was expected.

    James Harden is a free agent next summer. He’s making $35.64 million this season. That’s a lot of money. However, his skills are declining. His market value isn’t very high.

    Harden has publicly requested a trade to the Los Angeles Clippers. He’s already done this before, when he was with the Houston Rockets. At the time, he wanted to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets and didn’t join the team during the season. He was eventually traded to Brooklyn. However, he didn’t win a championship ring in Brooklyn either. He eventually moved to Philadelphia. He formed a one-two punch with Joel Embiid last season, but was not well-received due to his up-and-down scoring and inefficient field goal percentage.

    American media reacted negatively to Harden’s public trade request. ESPN wrote, “Harden is not easy to trade to the Clippers. Philadelphia wants a replacement for Harden. One that can form a strong core with Embiid. The best fit would be Paul George or Kawhi Leonard, but the Clippers can’t give up either player.

    Philadelphia general manager Daryl Morey told local Philadelphia radio station 97.5 The Fanatic earlier in the day: “James Harden is a good player. Unfortunately, he prefers to be elsewhere. We’re pursuing a trade because we respect him. But realistically, Philadelphia and Harden have two options. One is that we trade for a player who can be a running mate with Joel (Embiid). We’re also looking at draft picks. Or, Harden stays in Philadelphia and does everything he can to win a championship with us.” He made a significant comment at the end. “We’re not going to pursue a trade unless we get a very good player, or something that could be a very good player,” he said.

    In other words. Philadelphia’s position is clear. If they trade Harden, they’ll either get an All-Star caliber player or an equivalent rookie draft pick. Otherwise, Harden would have no choice but to stay in Philadelphia.

    According to CBS Sports, “Looking specifically at the LA Clippers‘ roster, there are no cards that fit general manager Daryl Morey’s needs. You’d have to trade Paul George or Kawhi Leonard for Harden, and the Clippers want to win a championship with those two. Furthermore, there aren’t enough young players or draft picks to entice Philadelphia. It’s not easy to get a deal done between the two teams,” he said.

    There are also concerns. The outlet notes that “Philadelphia has a potential risk. Harden could show up to camp out of shape in the weeks leading up to the season opener and be irritable. The team could get dizzy.
