Changwon LG lost 73-89 to Taiwan's Taoyuan Pauian Pilots in the first Group C match of the 2025 FIBA Basketball Champions League (BCL) held at Sheikh Said Bin Maktoum Sports Hall in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 8th.
LG's polycap (15 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks) made a double-double, while Yoo Ki-sang (12 points, 4 rebounds) and Jeong In-deok (11 points, 4 rebounds) worked hard, but they failed to regain the lead they gave up in the second quarter.
BCL Asia was previously held under the title of "Asian Champions Cup." Asian professional league winners from Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and Lebanon will participate in the group league in three groups, and the top eight teams will advance to the quarterfinals and then decide the best of Asian clubs through a single-round tournament.카지노
LG played for KBL, but failed to display full capacity. Asem Marei and Carl Tamayo, as well as playoff MVP Huh Il-young, Han Sang-hyuk, Jang Min-gook and Jeon Sung-hyun, are missing. They signed short-term contracts with Polycap and Kevin Allen, but they had difficulty joining the team in the local league.
LG dominated the game with 3-pointers by Jeong In-deok and Yoo Ki-sang, but suffered a setback in the second quarter when the team faced 22-20. As the team failed to block Alec Brown, it allowed a 34-45 upset to end the second quarter.
LG was dragged throughout the second half. It had the advantage (40-36) in rebounding, but failed to turn the tide as the 3-pointer success rate was only 28% (5/18) after the first quarter. At one point in the second half, the gap widened to more than 20 points, showing a heavy overall physical condition. In the end, LG finished the game 16 points behind. LG will play the second group match against defending champion Al Riyadi Beirut (Lebanon) on September 9.
Meanwhile, in Group A, the Broncos (Mongolia) defeated the Zhejiang Guangxia Lions (China) 84-67. The Shabab al-Ahli (UAE) also defeated the Meralco Boltz (Philippines) 101-87 in the first Group B match.
