The Seoul Samsung Thunder won 73-60 against the Anyang Jeonggwanjang Red Boosters in the 2023-2024 professional basketball regular league held at Jamsil Gymnasium on the 13th.
Coffey Coburn, the center behind Samsung's goal, led the team to victory. With Coburn, which bombed 25 points and 10 rebounds, Samsung succeeded in its first win of the season.
Coburn, who entered the interview room with a bright face, said, "It's the first time I beat Jeonggwanjang. I thought I wanted to beat all the teams that I couldn't beat in this round, but I'm glad I beat Jeonggwanjang."
All teams use double teams and traps to prevent Covene measuring 210 centimeters. There must have been some difficulties at first.
"It was a little difficult at first, but I adapted. (laughs) I'm going to train myself to use the trap and fulfill the coach's instructions," Coburn explained.
"When Korean players come to the trap, they are definitely more physical than other countries. If I have a goal, I can see the mindset of coming in to take it away," he added.
Samsung, the lowest ranking Samsung, is showing an upward trend of 4 wins and 2 losses in February. Coburn's energy level has also changed from the previous one.
Coburn said, "The energy level is better than the previous round. As we come out together as a team, we are showing better performance. Since the switch defense is input, we know what to do, so we are getting a better performance."
Coburn, who is performing unparalleled with an average of 22.9 points and 11.1 rebounds, picked Didric Lawson when asked about the best foreign player in the KBL. There was a clear standard.
Coburn said, "I don't think I'm the best. The team has to win. That's how I can be the best. I think DB's Didric Lawson is the best. I include that because the team is doing well. I'm not just good at it individually, but I'm a player that the team is good at together."
Lee's relationship with Lee, who plays a lot with two players, looked very good. Throughout the interview, Coburn showed a playful expression and smile at Lee. The age difference between the two is 12 years.
"Bronco (Lee Jung-hyun's nickname) is a veteran. He is more experienced and capable than other players in his age. He is the best leader. I am grateful that he teaches me not only during practice but also during games," Coburn said.
