“I wanted to pitch better”

‘Ace’ Ryu Hyun-jin (37-Hanwha Eagles) took the mound at Cheongju Stadium for the first time in 12 years.

Ryu started against the Kiwoom Heroes of the Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League 2024 at Cheongju Baseball Stadium on April 18 and pitched eight innings (101 pitches) of five-hit, no-hit ball with eight strikeouts and no walks to earn his fifth win of the season. Hanwha won 3-0.

Became the first pitcher to win at Cheongju Stadium in more than 5,000 days since May 11, 2010, against the LG Twins (9 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, 1 home run, 17 strikeouts, 1 earned run).

Hanwha, which won its second straight game behind the pitching of Ryu Hyun-jin, remained in seventh place with 31 wins, 37 losses and two ties (0.456 winning percentage), while Kiwoom remained in last place with 27 wins and 42 losses (0.391 winning percentage).

Ryu Hyun-jin, who has pitched the most innings since returning to the KBO from Major League Baseball (MLB), has won three straight games and lowered his ERA to 3.38 (previously 3.75). Top speed of 149 km/h.

On a pitcher-unfriendly field in Cheongju, Ryu had his best outing of the season.

In an interview after the game, Ryu said, “I have memories of that game. I’ve never been hit like that in baseball. That’s why I wanted to throw better,” he said. Ryu was humiliated on April 5 against Kiwoom at Gocheok Sky Dome. Ryu hung his head after giving up nine runs on nine hits with two walks and two strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

He washed away the painful memories with a strong outing.

After getting out of the first inning on a triple play, Ryu struck out Kim 먹튀검증 Gun-hee on three pitches with the bases loaded in the second inning.

After retiring the next three batters in order in the third, Ryu found himself in trouble in the fourth. After giving up an infield single to Dawson and a walk to Kim Hye-sung, Ryu struck out Song Sung-moon with runners on first and second and got catcher Choi Jae-hoon to throw to first to end the inning. Lee Won-seok then grounded out to the pitcher to end the fourth inning without allowing a run.

After not allowing a run in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings, Ryu took the mound in the eighth. He gave up a single to Ko Young-woo two batters later, but struck out the next batter, Lee Joo-hyung, on a wild pitch to end the inning.

He could have gotten a no-hitter or a complete game, but Ryu didn’t take the mound in the ninth. In the bottom of the ninth, Joo Hyun-sang gave up a leadoff single to Song Sung-moon, but struck out Lee Won-seok on a swinging strikeout to end the 카지노사이트 추천 game. Joo picked up his ninth save of the season in his hometown of Cheongju.

Meanwhile, the Ryu Hyun-jin Foundation signed a donation agreement with Porsche Autostadt on Nov. 14 to earn donations through Ryu’s victory records.

For every game in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League in which Ryu becomes the winning pitcher, Autostadt and Ryu will earn 1 million won each, totaling 2 million won, which will be donated to the Ryu Foundation. As part of its social contributions after the season, the Ryu Hyun-jin Foundation will provide scholarships of up to KRW 30 million to financially disadvantaged youth scholars.

Irving had the worst game of his career.

The Dallas Mavericks lost 88-106 to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the 2023-2024 NBA Finals at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, on Sunday (Jan. 18). The loss dropped Dallas to 1-4 in the series and gave Boston the championship.

It was a disappointing series for Dallas. Leading up to the Finals, many predicted a close game against Boston, with the overwhelming one-two punch of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic at the center of it all. The duo had been tremendous in the playoffs, leading Dallas to the Finals.

However, the trusted duo didn’t perform as well as expected in the Finals. Boston chose to defend Irving and Doncic purely one-on-one, unlike past teams Dallas has faced. When Dallas switched defenders through screens, they responded with a switch defense. The calculation was that they were confident in their ability to stop Doncic and Irving one-on-one, and that even if they allowed them to score, they could prevent the spillover effect.

The defense worked. Boston had some of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA in Jrue Holiday and Derrick White up front, and Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the backcourt. Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are the only weaknesses on defense, but they were both solid in the Finals.

With Boston’s stifling defense shutting down Dallas’ one-two punch, the series quickly swung in Boston’s favor. Doncic also struggled against Boston’s intense pressure defense and had no answer for the difficult three-point shot.

Even worse than Doncic was Irving. Irving has a history of bad blood with Boston fans. Irving played for Boston from 2017 to 2019. His performance was disappointing and, more importantly, he was hated by the Boston fans.

Throughout the series, Boston fans booed Irving every time he touched the ball. He didn”t let it bother him, but it didn”t seem to 토토 affect his play.

Irving had nothing to do with Boston’s defense throughout the Finals. He was stuck on Halladay and White, and with his own offense stifled, he didn’t have enough vision to see his teammates. He didn’t do much on defense either. Boston’s players didn’t seem to care about Irving’s defense at all.

Irving averaged 14.3 points on 34% shooting from the field and 17.6% shooting from three-point range in Game 5 of the Finals. Those numbers are far below expectations. Irving’s slump is all the more remarkable because he had a dominant performance in the Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 27 points and 4.6 assists.

Despite the disappointing performance, Irving ended on a high note. With the game virtually decided, Irving went to the bench with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, and as he walked off the bench, he went to the Boston bench and congratulated each player individually. He then hugged Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla as he exited the game.

Irving’s final gesture left the Boston fans cold. They booed Irving and celebrated until the end. For Irving, it was a Finals that he would rather forget.

Kia Tigers manager Lee Beom-ho expressed his team’s confidence ahead of their three-game midweek series against the LG Twins in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on April 18, saying they are confident of a 1-2 finish. Before this game, KIA was trailing second-place LG by 1.5 games. Faced with the possibility of losing the top spot, Lee tried to appear calm, saying, “There is no such thing as an unimportant game,” but he soon revealed his intention to defend the lead, saying, “This week, we have to use our heads well (in utilizing the pitching staff).

It’s important to get off to a good start, so Lee pulled out his “ace” card against LG. The veteran left-hander Yang Hyun-jong (36) was the starter to start the game.

Yang Hyun-jong cruised through the first inning just as Lee had hoped. He gave up a walk to Moon Sung-joo and a single to Kim Hyun-soo to put runners on first and second with no outs in the top of the first, but induced the next batter, Kim Bum-seok, to ground into a double play to get out of the jam. He then got Austin Dean to ground out to third base to end the inning.

After a scoreless second inning, Yang began to falter in the top of the third. He gave up a two-run double to Kim Bum-seok in the top of the third inning to make it 3-0, and then gave up an RBI single to Shin Min-jae in the top of the fourth inning to make it 4-2.

There was a reason why Yang’s pace suddenly slowed down after such a promising start. Yang took the mound in the top of the fifth inning, but he could barely throw his fastball. He threw all four pitches to Kim Hyun-soo on sliders and all three to Kim Bum-seok on changeups for outs.

He appeared to be out of sorts. Trainers visited the mound. Pitching coach Jung Jae-hoon also came to the mound to check on Yang, who was experiencing tingling in his left arm. Yang showed his determination to finish the top of the fifth inning, getting the next batter, Austin, to fly out to shortstop on four pitches to complete the fifth 카지노 inning. He threw one fastball in the top of the fifth, and his velocity dropped significantly to 134 kilometers per hour.

Yang was replaced by Kim Do-hyun in the top of the sixth inning after failing to make it to the mound. The KIA team said, “Yang Hyun-jong showed symptoms of numbness in his elbow and is currently icing it. We will monitor his condition on the 19th, but the symptoms are not serious.”

The bats responded to the ace’s pitching, scoring 11 runs on 14 hits. The offense exploded for six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, helping the team to an 11-4 victory over LG.

Yang picked up his sixth win of the season, allowing three runs on seven hits in five innings (73 pitches). His next start is scheduled for the 23rd. If the current rotation stays the same, Yang will face Ryu Hyun-jin (37) of the Hanwha Eagles.

At one point, we had nine meetings. We can’t postpone the selection of a director any longer. The candidates have been narrowed down to a handful.

The Korean Football Association has finished evaluating 12 candidates for the new national team coach. It is expected to narrow the list down to five finalists.

The KFA’s National Strength and Reinforcement Committee held its ninth meeting behind closed doors at 2 p.m. on Aug. 18 at its headquarters in Seoul to select a new coach. According to the KFA, the meeting lasted for five hours to evaluate the 12 candidates who were shortlisted at a meeting held on the previous three days.

A total of 10 members of the committee watched each candidate’s game footage to understand the main tactics of the offensive and defensive organization and style of play. Each member then gave an evaluation opinion and recommended a candidate for negotiation.

The Power Enhancement Committee plans to select the final negotiating candidates at the 10th meeting in the near future.

“After the next meeting, we will have to enter the negotiation phase, so I think there will be no more than five finalists,” said an official from the Football Association.

Among the 12 candidates is a domestic coach. Chung has not ruled out the possibility of becoming a domestic coach. Former national interim coach Kim Do-hoon, who led South Korea to two consecutive wins in the fifth and sixth rounds of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 North American Football Confederation (AFCON), including a trip to Singapore on June 6 and a home match against China on June 11, is also on the shortlist. There has been no change in the NFPA’s policy to evaluate both foreign and Korean coaches fairly and without prioritization.

However, there are more foreign coaches than domestic coaches, so the arithmetic odds are still in favor of a foreign coach.

Once a shortlist has been selected, the Football Association will keep the entire process behind closed doors until negotiations are completed. In order to facilitate negotiations and contracts, the proceedings after the 10th meeting will not be made 안전놀이터 public, and no information regarding the selection of the finalists or the progress of the contract will be disclosed.

Nine of the 11 members of the Power Enhancement Committee, including Chairman Jeong Hae-sung, attended the meeting in person, while Yoon Jeong-hwan, head coach of Gangwon FC, participated via video. Park Sung-bae (head coach of Soongsil University) was absent.

The committee was newly formed and began the process of selecting a new head coach for the national team in February after former coach Jürgen Klinsmann was sacked and Chung was appointed by the head of the Korea Football Association (KFA), Mong-kyu Chung, following the team’s 0-2 loss to Middle Eastern powerhouse Jordan in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in Qatar.

However, the committee has bungled the process twice in the past three months, drawing harsh criticism from both inside and outside the soccer world. First, despite the controversy, the committee appointed Hwang Sun-hong, then the head coach of the Olympic team, as the interim head coach for the two home and away matches against Thailand in the third and fourth rounds of the North American World Cup Asia Second Qualifying Round in March. The two games ended in a 1-1 draw, but Hwang’s “full-time” Olympic job came a month later, when the national team suffered a shock quarterfinal loss to Indonesia at the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, failing to qualify for the first men’s soccer Olympic Games in 40 years.

The national team failed to qualify for the Olympics 파워볼사이트 after the KPA forced Hwang, who was supposed to be focusing on his “real job,” to take over as interim coach.

Earlier this month, the KFA was supposed to appoint a new head coach before the two-game World Cup second qualifying round in June, but after losing American coach Jesse Marsh to Canada and Spanish coach Jesús Casas announced his intention to stay with the Iraqi national team, where he is currently working, the KFA was forced to appoint interim coach Kim Do-hoon for the two-game series.

There was no more time to delay the appointment of a new coach.

The first leg of the third qualifying round, with six tickets to the World Cup at stake, will be played at home on September 5. That’s almost three months away, but in reality, not much time. The group draw on September 27 will determine the five countries South Korea will face. From there, teams will start analyzing their opponents.

It takes time for a new coach to learn the skills of the national team players and analyze their opponents. If the new coach is a foreigner, this time can be even longer. In addition, the first match of the third qualifying round will be the debut of the new coach, which can be a daunting situation.

Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) will return to Italy to clear his name. SSC Napoli are considering a one-year loan deal for Kim Min-jae again. They believe there are no other options.

“Serie A’s best defender, Kim Min-jae, could return to Napoli,” Italian media outlet Spazio Napoli reported on Nov. 18 (KST).

According to the media, recently appointed Napoli coach Antonio Conte wants to bring Alessandro Buonzorno (Torino) and Mario Hermoso (Atletico Madrid) to the club to implement his back three tactics next season.

Buonzorno, an Italian center back born in 1999, is considered one of Italy’s future defenders. The 6-foot-4 center back was born and raised in Turin, where he rose through the youth ranks to make his first-team debut, and his strong performances in Serie A earned him a spot in Italy’s roster for the UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2024).

The 1995-born Spanish defender is out of contract with Atletico at the end of the 2023-24 season and is expected to leave the club as a free agent.

Conte is in need of two new center backs for his preferred back three, but with the prospect of signing the players Conte wants to bring in seemingly impossible, Napoli have been advised to look elsewhere, with Kim Min-Jae and Radu Dragucin (Tottenham Hotspur) the next best options.

“Antonio Conte asked for strength and experience for his back three defense,” Italian journalist Raffaele Aurriemma explained on social media on Monday, according to the outlet.

“However, Hermoso is represented by an agent and Buonzorno is claimed to be overpaid by Urbano Cairo (Turin president), while new Napoli director Giovanni Manna is pushing for Radu Dragucin and Kim Min-Jae,” he added.

Napoli have plenty of reasons to want Kim Min-Jae as their next best option. Immediately, Kim was the best defender in Serie A last season. He became a key 메이저토토사이트 defender as soon as he joined the team and helped Napoli win the Serie A title. The Italian Serie A secretariat recognized his performance and named him Defender of the Year.

With Kim becoming one of the best defenders in Europe, the world’s top clubs were in a race to sign him, with German Bundesliga giants Munich being the winner. Munich agreed to pay Napoli a buyout fee of €50 million (approximately $75 billion) for Kim Min-jae, and he was off to the Bundesliga.

After Kim’s departure to Munich, Napoli felt the absence of Kim desperately. After scoring 77 goals and conceding 28 goals in 38 games last season to reach a high of 90 points (W28 D6 L4), Napoli conceded 48 goals this season, earning only 53 points (W13 D14 L11) and finishing the season in 10th place.

Napoli began to monitor Kim’s situation in the second half of the 2023-24 season when he fell out of contention for a starting role and was relegated to the bench, and with Munich signing new center back Hiroki Ito this summer and the club also pursuing top Bundesliga defender Jonatan Ta, Kim’s space is getting smaller.

According to the media, Napoli are considering a one-year loan deal for Kim Min-jae. “In Napoli’s historic third title-winning season, the best defender in Serie A could return to his parent club, a reunion that would certainly make Napoli supporters 토토사이트 추천 happy for a year,” the outlet said.

“Former Napoli player Kim Min-jae hasn’t had a very happy year at Bayern Munich, and Napoli could bring him back on loan.”

In addition to Kim Min-jae, another potential signing is Romanian monster defender Radu Dragucin, who has been in fine form in Serie A. Dragucin, who joined Tottenham from Genoa in January last year, played just 429 minutes in the second half of the season as he was pushed aside by Micky Van der Vaart and Christian Romero.

“Another name that has been strongly linked with Napoli in the past could come back into vogue, Radu Dragucin, who seemed to take a step back from a move to Napoli in January,” the outlet added, “With his hands full with Euro 2024, Dragucin could be sold by Spurs, who have not given him much time since signing him.”

The Boston Celtics comfortably achieved their first win in the finals at home.
On June 7, 2024, the Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks 107-89 in Game 1 of the 2023-24 NBA Finals held at TD Garden in Boston.

As the team with the highest overall winning percentage in the regular season, the Celtics displayed a relaxed game management and overwhelmed the Mavericks from the beginning of the game.
In particular, ‘Unicorn’ Kristaps Porzingis, who returned from injury, led the mood by scoring fierce field goals from the first quarter.

Porzingis performed perfectly on offense and defense that day, scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks.
Jaylen Brown, who won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, was also dazzling.

Brown took advantage of the sluggish performance of Jayson Tatum, the team’s top scoring option, and scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocks, demonstrating his ability as an all-round offensive and defensive player.
Tatum recorded five turnovers on this day and showed a performance that did not live up to his reputation as an ace, but in the end, he contributed to the team’s victory by contributing 16 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Celtics’ game plan

The Celtics’ game plan that day was clear.
This is to neutralize the indirect attack option derived from Mavericks’ ace Luka Doncic.

The Celtics had Doncic catch the ball and enter the paint zone, then return the ball to the outside and aim for a 3-point shot.
The marksman defense was thorough and tight to prevent alley-oop plays using Derek Lively or Daniel Gafford.

Doncic continued to attempt one-on-ones on this day and penetrated into the paint zone.
However, as the Celtics blocked all follow-up options that worked well throughout the playoffs, the ball did not flow and the offense did not proceed smoothly.

Still, Doncic was Doncic.
He made 26 field goals, scored 30 points, and grabbed 10 rebounds.

However, except for Doncic, the offensive contributions of the remaining main guns were disappointing.
In particular, Kyrie Irving was quiet with 12 points despite making 19 field goals.

And, on this day, he showed a very poor performance, recording as many as three turnovers.
From the Mavericks’ perspective, there is a need to completely revise the off-ball movements of all players except Doncic.

In the Western Conference playoffs, all opposing defenses rushed to Doncic during offense, creating many outside opportunities with ease.
However, the Celtics entered the first game with the intention of completely blocking the Mavericks’ perimeter attack.

The second game, which will feature a fierce battle of numbers and detailed tactical battles between the two teams, will be held at the same location in Boston on June 10th at 9 am.

Celtics beat Mavericks for second win in finals series

The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks again to reach their second win in the NBA Finals series.
On June 10, 2024, the home team Celtics defeated the Mavericks 105-98 in Game 2 of the 2023-24 NBA Finals held at TD Garden in Boston.

With this win, the Celtics moved up to 2 wins and undefeated in the series, and entered their trip to Dallas in good spirits.
On this day, the Celtics struggled quite a bit throughout the game against the Mavericks.

In particular, main gun Jayson Tatum’s field goal sense was poor following the first game.
Nevertheless, Tatum played a clear role as a flounder by continuously attempting dribble breaks and making plays that saved his surrounding teammates when the opponent’s double team came in.

Tatum ended up finishing the game with 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 12 assists, recording a record close to a triple-double.
On this day, the Celtics clearly had a structure and atmosphere that allowed them to take a big lead in the mid to late game.

However, there were no outside shots for the team as a whole before entering the clutch time of the fourth quarter.
On this day, the Celtics struggled quite a bit on the perimeter, attempting 39 3-point shots and only making 10 (25.6% success rate).

Starting guard Jrue Holiday’s performance

However, based on his outstanding individual skills in offense and defense, he neutralized the Mavericks’ attack and maintained the lead he gained in the third quarter until the end of the game.
The most decorated player in the game is Jrue Holiday, who played as the starting guard.

Holliday scored 26 points, the most on the team, while controlling his matchup opponent, Kyrie Irving.
In the end, didn’t the various offense constants that the Celtics expected in this game work?

However, after persevering on the basis of a solid defense, we achieved victory through the power of individual skills.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks lost the second game, giving up an ambitious two-game road trip to their opponent.

As their existing offensive tactics were destroyed in the first game, the Mavericks attempted to strengthen ace Luka Doncic’s primary and derivative attacks in this game.
Doncic, who scored 32 points on this day, led a strong one-on-one structure from the beginning of the game and scored a lot of points.

And, compared to the first game where he only had 1 assist, he performed better in this game by providing 11 assists.
However, he recorded as many as eight turnovers that day as the defense became more stringent in the second half of the game.

In addition, as the game continued into the second half, the paint zone attack using PJ Washington and Derrick Jones Jr. came to life and took the reins of the chase.
However, Kyrie Irving, an important axis of the team’s offense, was unable to shake off his slump in the first game and scored only 16 points, which ultimately hindered him.

Game 3 of the championship game between the two teams will now be held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Thursday, June 13 at 9:30 a.m.
