LG's Doo Kyung-min tries to attack in the second practice game against Ryukyu at Okinawa Arena on the 23rd.
Professional basketball team Changwon LG beat the Ryukyu Golden Kings Japan in the second game during off-season training in Okinawa, Japan.
LG won 88-84 in the second practice match against Ryukyu at Okinawa Arena in Okinawa, Japan, on the 23rd. Ryukyu belongs to Japan's B League. Last season, he ranked second in the Western Division 41 wins and 19 losses and reached the final in the playoffs PO. LG suffered a crushing defeat of 67-87 in the first game held at the same venue on the 22nd, but made up for it a day later.
LG showed poor performance in the early stages. It allowed KBL experienced Kebe Aluma to throw an Elioop dunk, trailing the team 7-17. Since then, the team has turned the mood around with three consecutive points. In the final stages, Cal Tamayo successfully made a layup, narrowing the gap.
With 7:36 left in the second quarter, LG trailed it 26-27 thanks to Du Kyung-min's 3-pointer. Tamayo's turnaround jumper enabled the team to come from behind with 28-27 with about seven minutes left. However, Choi Jin-soo's series of mistakes deprived LG of the lead again, ending the second quarter trailing 38-45.
Continuing its pursuit in the third quarter, LG came from behind to win with about five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Du Kyung-min and Monroe's mid-range jumpers enabled the team to take a 79-73 lead. LG lost to Aluma with 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter, losing 3-pointers to 87-84 but Monroe made one of the two free throws she garnered through fouls, ultimately winning the game by a four-point margin.

"Thank you Ryukyu for inviting us to a good stadium and making a good game," LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said. "We made changes in defense. It's great because the players made the game for us." "I'm thinking about how to proceed with the season while practicing. I'll take a long season and change the offensives and defense every time I play against teams, so how systematically the players can move is important." Cho added meaning to the exchanges between Korea and Japan and hoped for more active exchanges in the future.
A total of five players, including Doo Kyung-min 18 points, Tamayo, Monroe 17 points or more, Maray 13 points, and Yang Joon-seok 12 points, scored double-digit points.
Tamayo, who was very active in the game, said, "I lost the first game, but I came out after revising the part that the coach ordered. I feel very good to win the game."
