The champions of the Korean Basketball League (KBL) had a bitter taste in succession in the FIBA Champions League (BCL) Asia. Busan KCC lost all three of their group league games last year and Changwon LG lost all two of their games this year before heading home on Wednesday.안전놀이터

Although it is a big competition in which champions of Asian leagues (in the Middle East and some East Asian countries, the finals and second-place teams) compete, they are already being shunned. This is because it is held on a "slanted field" due to the nature of this competition. Then, there are growing calls for finding improvement in the KBL league. This is because it is not a complaint from a specific team, but a matter for everyone as all 10 Korean teams aim to become champions. Moreover, FIBA-hosted competitions cannot be rejected because absenteeism without clear reasons will result in penalties for future participation in the national team.

KCC, which experienced the event first last year, pointed out blind spots in the schedule. BCL Asia's schedule is mostly organized in the Middle East, where many of its member countries exist. The championship begins as soon as the Super League in West Asia ends in early June every year. In the case of Japan and China, the championship game ends at the end of May. As a result, teams in these regions are allowed to participate while maintaining their performance and sense of play in the championship by retaining foreign players. In contrast, the KBL League has a long hiatus from the championship game in early and mid-May to the opening of the BCL Asia, forcing them to take a break even for a short time. Though the team says it will urgently convene and train one week before the opening of the championship, it has already been warmed up due to the "honey-taste" break since the championship, and cannot elevate the sense of play due to lack of tension. On top of that, foreign players and the Asian quarter have already left the team under contract. For this reason, some argue that the team should devise ways to meet the KBL league's schedule like overseas leagues optimized for the "BCL Asia" schedule.

LG said it has made improvements to the standard contract for foreign players (including the Asian quarter). Under the current contract system, annual salary is paid in installments up to the regular season on a monthly basis, and if the team advances to the post season, the team pays the combined annual salary of the working day. For this reason, all foreign players leave immediately after the championship is over. Except for some who are resting well in their home countries, most players go to the Puerto Rican league where they can earn a profitable short-term income. In the end, KCC and LG secured so-called "short-term part-timers" to participate in the competition. As they had no A-level mercenaries who want to sign a two-week contract, they rushed to fill the number of players who were less competitive. "If a player becomes the champion in a foreign player's contract, another option is to add a clause on the contract extension to the BCL Asian Games," a source in the basketball community said. "Since there are disadvantages in that players can avoid such clauses and the team can feel the burden of additional labor costs, serious discussions are needed. We can't help but be a best man."
