Words are always with us, joy, sorrow, and pleasure. The same goes for basketball. Players and coaching staff need to constantly communicate with each other. Sometimes good words from a coach can turn the game around. In the "Weekly Talking Check," we had time to summarize comments that were the most talked about during the KBL and WKBL timeouts and media interviews.

"I'll come back to my seat. Please support me!" - Jeon Seonghyun (Changwon LG)
December 20th, Changwon LG vs Busan KCC

"Fire Shooter" Jeon Sung-hyun led LG to victory by scoring a personal record of 17 points this season, including four three-point shots.

In the first season after his transfer, Jeon suffered large and small injuries ranging from his waist to his knees, failing to display his skills to the fullest. He must have had a lot of mental troubles on his own. Therefore, he shed tears for a long time at an interview on a television network that he had for a long time.

"I felt so embarrassed. I felt so sorry for not living up to my expectations. My wife suffered a lot because of me. However, injuries are no excuse. We have to prove ourselves on the court. If you cheer for us silently, we will definitely come back to our seats. Please give us a lot of support."

Although he is not in 100 percent physical condition due to his injury, he is sweating profusely every day solely out of responsibility. Coach Cho Sang-hyun also expressed his trust, saying, "(Former) Sung-hyun has a strong sense of responsibility," and finally displayed performance to meet expectations. We cannot deny that Sung-hyun Jeon is the best shooter in the KBL in the 21st century. He shook off his mental troubles and is ready to fly again.

"Don't look at the sky because you can't defend! It's not your responsibility!" - Director Kim Tae-sul and Lee Keun-jun (Goyang Sono)
December 21st, Goyang Sono vs Seoul Samsung

Early in the fourth quarter with a 68-48 lead, head coach Kim Tae-sul gave Lee Keun-joon, who blamed himself for his performance, designating a pattern for rookie Lee Keun-joon in a timeout, a mixture of sticks and carrots.

"Be confident! I told you that even if you don't defend yourself, you just have to wake up and do what you have to do, right? No! Don't look up at the sky! It's my fault because I'm doing what you told me to do, it's not your responsibility! Okay?"
Lee Keun-joon, who listened to head coach Kim Tae-sul's words, answered vigorously and went to the court.

High school rookie Lee Keun-jun has been playing a lot of time in the belief of head coach Kim Tae-sul in his debut season 스포츠토토. In the process, he suffers a lot of trial and error on his own. If the game doesn't go his way, he will perform with a contracted and degraded performance. In the meantime, the words thrown by the head coach played a role in instilling Lee Keun-jun's confidence. This is why it is important to pay attention to what kind of performance Lee Keun-joon will perform in the game against DB on the 25th.

"Thank You SONO, Good Bye!" - Alan Williams (Goyang Sono)
December 21st, Goyang Sono vs Seoul Samsung

On the day that Sono under Kim Tae-sul recorded his first two consecutive wins, Alan Williams played his last game for Sono. Now he is leaving Korea for maternity leave, which had been announced even before his contract. Williams, who had 27 points and 12 rebounds in the farewell match, left a long message for Sono's family.

"Right now, I want to spend time with my baby and my wife. But I enjoyed my time at Sono. The new basketball culture was also impressive. If I have a chance, I would like to leave open the possibility of playing at Sono again. I am also very grateful to Sono fans for their support."

Williams played the role of a "double machine" during his time on the court, although he missed some games due to chronic knee injuries. He was so serious about basketball that he was deeply moved after the game against Suwon KT on the 18th, when Sono escaped his long 11th consecutive loss.

On top of that, he got along well with his colleagues off the court and respected Korean culture by bowing down to say "hello" when dealing with reporters.

This gave Sono a big boost after suffering from a foreign player problem last season.

Although leaving the team, Williams' positive influence on Sono will be remembered for a long time.
