‘Basketball President’ former national team coach Heo Jae took over as the representative, and Carrot started out with high expectations, such as recruiting coach Kim Seung-gi and Jeon Seong-hyun.
From the beginning, it creaked due to non-payment of subscription due to the parent company’s management difficulties.
Despite off-court noise and a thin player base, he advanced to spring basketball with a 5th place in the regular league, but he was worried that his participation would be canceled due to money problems.
Carrot players who were not even paid properly burned more fighting spirit the more they did.
After a bloody battle in the 5th game, they advanced to the semifinals by beating Hyundai Mobis, and won 1 win against Ginseng Corporation, which ranked first in the regular league.
Even though the name Carrot will disappear, they promised to continue the drama of ‘Inspiring Carrot’ in the next season.
“This is not the end, it will continue, so a better team will be made and members will continue to be formed to win, and the future is bright.”
Carrot received a lot of love from Goyang fans by announcing the birth of a new hero, Lee Jung-hyun, to Jeon Seong-hyun, the best shooter in Korea. 메이저놀이터
Now looking for a new acquisition company, there is a possibility of leaving Goyang.
Goyang fans cheered with all their heart, saving money until the end and sending eel rice bowls and coffee to the athletes.
“The fans bought me eels and did a lot of this and that. I think that’s why the players came this far…”
“Since I debuted in Goyang, it’s really sad that it might be the last time, but I’m so grateful that so many fans came until the end, and I hope it’s not the end.”
