There are as many as 11 losses appearing next to me.

Until today’s game, Sono Skygunners had been trapped in a 11-game losing streak, but after about a month, they achieved victory, marking a touching first win for coach Kim Tae-sool.

The key player in breaking the losing streak was also ace Lee Jung-hyun.

Coach Kim Tae-sool of Sono Skygunners said he was so worried that he could hardly eat. But the team's ace Lee Jung-hyun showed his determination to escape the losing streak with all his might.

In particular, the precise assists that were a trademark of coach Kim during his playing days and the accurate shots that hit the backboard were revived at the fingertips of Lee Jung-hyun.

Absorbing his coach's strengths, Lee Jung-hyun showcased his ace qualities with a shot clock buzzer-beater and an incredible double clutch, driven by his determination to end the 11-game losing streak.

Additionally, Lee Jae-do delivered a remarkable three-pointer that seemed to be bounced off the rim before being swallowed back in.

The players’ confidence to finally break the losing chain was overflowing.

With Lee Jung-hyun and Lee Jae-do shining, Sono finished the 3rd quarter with a 23-point lead and faced the crucial 4th quarter.

Given that they had almost always collapsed in the 4th quarter, coach Kim Tae-sool did not let his guard down.

Then, with just 2 minutes left and the score gap narrowing, Lee Jung-hyun sealed the victory with another three-pointer, smiling brightly.

After a hard-fought battle, the Sono players cheered joyfully as they broke the losing streak, and coach Kim Tae-sool finally let out a sigh of relief.

Sono defeated KT Sonicboom, escaping the 11-game losing streak after 44 days, and coach Kim Tae-sool, born in 1984, achieved his first win as the youngest head coach.

Sono is set to recruit a major player from the Philippines in four weeks, preparing to emerge as a key player in the changing landscape of the mid-lower ranks.
