There is no player greater than the team. A player must know how to be grateful for the opportunity to play.
Korea Gas Corporation won 88-76 against Anyang Jeonggwanjang in the '2024-25 KCC Professional Basketball Round 5' held at Daegu Gymnasium on the 12th. With a record of 23 wins and 12 losses, Korea Gas Corporation maintained 5th place. 7th place Jeonggwanjang (17 wins, 27 losses) fell 2 games behind 6th place DB (19 wins, 25 losses).
Shin Seung-min was registered in the roster after 2 games. During the game against KT on the 4th, Shin Seung-min protested when head coach Gang Hyuk told him to box out, saying, 'I'm sorry, but I did box out.'
There were definitely moments when Shin Seung-min neglected to box out, allowing the opponent to score. Head coach Gang Hyuk was left speechless by Shin Seung-min's words. At that time, Korea Gas Corporation lost 74-75.
Korea Gas Corporation imposed a suspension on Shin Seung-min. He apologized to Coach Gang Hyuk and the players. He returned to team training after one day, but was excluded from the roster for the next 2 games, which was a sign to reflect.
While Shin Seung-min was absent, Korea Gas Corporation lost 72-79 to LG and fell 69-89 to SK. Time was of the essence, but the coach could not use a player whose trust had been broken. There is no player greater than the team. Even though Shin Seung-min has international experience, he is not a star player. There are plenty of players to replace him on the team.
Shin Seung-min was included in the roster for the game against Jeonggwanjang. Kim Jun-il started as the power forward while Park Ji-hoon assisted. During their rest periods, Shin Joo-young also played. Shin Seung-min played for 4 minutes until the middle of the 4th quarter.
As Korea Gas Corporation achieved a big victory, Shin Seung-min was reinserted in the game late. He showed a changed attitude, staying with Deontay Burton until the end. On that day, Shin Seung-min recorded 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 1 assist, 1 turnover, and 3 fouls in 11 minutes and 3 seconds of play.
What is more important for a player than records or performance is the mindset. Shin Seung-min had a valuable experience.
