User talk:What did Acting Manager Kim Hyo-beom and Gage Prim discuss before the game?
"I heard your dream is NBA"
Until the whistle starts, everyone, whether they are on the same team or the other team, is a team that moves together within the bigger framework of "basketball." Therefore, during preparation time, there are many conversations, such as asking how each other is doing on the court.
The coaching staff is no exception. The 2023-2024 Chungchwan Professional Basketball Regular League match was held at Jamsil Gymnasium on Wednesday between the Seoul Samsung and Ulsan Hyundai Mobis. What was the topic of the long conversation between acting Samsung coach Kim Hyo-beom and Gage Prim of Hyundai Mobis?
Kim Hyo-beom, the acting coach, said, "We had various stories about people's lives (laughs). In fact, I gave Prim my business card once in the U.S. He still remembers it. And I asked about their future goals. They said that the NBA is their dream. "It was nice to see him confident," he said.
He continued with a smile, "So, you have good energy on the court. I told him that I hope one day he can continue to maintain good performance and achieve his dream."
In this way, Kim can communicate directly with foreign players in English. This can certainly be a plus factor for the team.
Acting head coach Kim Hyo-beom said, "I think foreign players feel comfortable. We usually talk about trivial things, such as daily conversations, rather than talking about basketball. The same goes for Kofi Coburn and Ismael Lane. He also talks about delicious food (laughs). Lane's son is really pretty, too. "He will never forget to talk about children," he said.
Acting coach Kim Hyo-beom is showing a new performance that has never been seen before, such as warming up with the players before the game. Overcoming the initial slump, his performance improved to five wins and four losses in the fifth round and three wins and two losses in the sixth round.
In other words, Samsung has responded to the new wind brought on by acting coach Kim Hyo-beom.
