Coach Seung-gi Kim is speaking regarding his determination for the new season at the Goyang Sono Sky Gunners Basketball Team founding ceremony held at Sono Calm Goyang, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 20th. yunhap news
“I will do my best so that the fans and the Sono family can all go on a very special basketball journey together,” (Coach Seung-gi Kim) smiles. Both players and coaches are friendly. The Goyang Sono Sky Gunners have taken their first step, leaving behind the unfortunate past of Day One Sports (Carrot), who were expelled for the first time since the launch of the Korea Professional Basketball League (KBL). The players, manager, and coaching staff were inherited, but the team was completely changed. On the 20th, the inauguration ceremony hall of Sono Calm Hotel in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do was completely colored sky blue. Sky blue is close to the complementary color of orange (the symbolic color of the Day One era). Sono is a new club founded by Sono International (Chairman Seo Jun-hyuk), the holding company of Daemyung Sono Group, by acquiring Day One. Dayone, who announced a new start by taking over Goyang Orion last season, suffered from financial difficulties and was unable to avoid poor management, including non-payment of wages, and was eventually expelled from the league. The ecosystem of 10 professional basketball teams was at risk of collapse, but the worst was avoided when Sono emerged as an acquisition company.

Sono received approval for new membership from the KBL board of directors on July 21, retained all players and hometown (Goyang), and even brought in coach Kim Seung-gi. Sono’s emblem, which was unveiled at the founding ceremony on this day, is a design that combines a cannon soaring into the sky with a basketball pattern, symbolizing the ‘sky shooters’, which is the meaning of the team name ‘Sky Gunners’. The parent company’s name ‘Sono’ is a transliteration of the Italian word ‘Sogno’ (dream). Coach Kim, who took the stage at the inauguration ceremony, declared the unchanging direction of ‘Kim Seung-gi basketball’, saying, “In keeping with the team emblem, this is a team that can shoot 3 points at any time as long as it crosses the halfway line.” When broadcaster Kim Yong-man, who hosted the game that day, asked, “Are you really not going to say something if (the players) shoot straight from beyond the halfway line?” he responded, “That’s how we’re practicing. “There are a lot of players who can do it well, and I am generous when it comes to shooting.”

Coach Kim’s teams always displayed sharpshooting basketball. Last season, Dayone averaged 34.9 3-point attempts and made 11.5 per game during the regular season. This figure is significantly ahead of 2nd place Anyang Cheonggwanjang (26.4 attempts, 8.9 successes). Dayone, which added the charm of archery basketball to its relentless defense, overcame the pre-opening assessment that it was the weakest team in the league last season and advanced to the semifinals of the playoffs despite the poor management of its parent company. The players also made new determination. Captain Kang-seon Kim said, “The fans helped us a lot during difficult times. “This time, I will show the fans a basketball that gives more supervision.” Kim Min-wook, who joined as a free agent last May, said, “I really wanted to play basketball with Coach Seung-gi Kim once more. “I would like to thank the club owner for making that wish come true, and although it is a late start, I will contribute to becoming a prestigious club,” he said.
