A grand slam like cider, the 22-year-old national team shortstop found a way out of a slump

 Kim Joo-won (22, NC Dinos), who had grown into a national team shortstop and was on a roll, fell into a slump at the beginning of his fourth year. A grand slam like 'cider' came out to break through the frustrating situation. Kim Joo-won said after the end of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League regular season home game against the Samsung Lions held at Changwon NC Park on the 10th, "I had a feeling of frustration in my heart, but when I hit a home run, that feeling of frustration disappeared." In this day's game, Kim Joo-won played as the starting 9th hitter and shortstop, recording 2 hits in 4 at-bats, 4 RBIs, and 2 runs. He improved his batting skills by recording his first and fourth multi-hit of the season since the Gwangju KIA game on April 21 (2 hits, 1 home run, 4 at-bats). In addition, he has been on a streak of four consecutive games since the Incheon SSG game on the 4th, which is also his second record this season. He also surpassed the .200 batting av

'Dopamine went crazy' Kim Taek-yeon made Jamsil bee crazy.

 'High school rookie' Doosan Kim Taek-yeon thrilled the Jamsil Bee with an impressive pitching performance unlike any rookie in a critical situation. The 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League match between Doosan Bears and KT Wiz was held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 10th. In this day's game, Doosan beat KT 7-3 thanks to a batting lineup that hit 14 hits, and enjoyed a pleasant 6-game winning streak. In the game, the performance of ‘high school rookie’ Taekyeon Kim stood out. Kim Taek-yeon came on the mound in the top of the 7th inning with a 5-3 lead. Kim Taek-yeon, who allowed a hit to KT's leadoff hitter Cho Yong-ho and a double to Hwang Jae-gyun, was in danger of reaching second and third base with no outs. Worrying for a moment, Kim Taek-yeon roared back in a critical situation by striking out three batters in succession: Park Byeong-ho, Shin Bon-ki, and Oh Yun-seok. Taek-yeon Kim faced Park Byeong-ho, Shin Bon-ki, and Oh Yun-se

Ohtani, Japan's record for most home runs... In 亞, only Choo Shin-soo is above him.

 The LA Dodgers won 10-0 against the New York Mets in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) game held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA on the 22nd (Korean time).  Dodgers' Ohtani started as the designated hitter twice in this game and recorded 2 hits in 3 at-bats (1 home run), 2 RBIs, and 2 runs. Ohtani's season batting average rose to 0.368. Ohtani hit a slider from Mets pitcher Adrian Houser in the third inning with one out and runners on first base, making a two-run shot to right-center. It was the 5th home run of the season and the 176th home run in the big leagues.  With this home run, Ohtani became the Japanese player with the most home runs in the big league. Until the day before, he was tied with Hideki Matsui with 175 home runs, but now he has moved into first place.  Ohtani, who entered MLB in 2018 after playing in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), is achieving these results while serving as both a pitcher and batter.  Now there is only one Asian

"Why did the Chelsea players fight during the PK situation? Because they were young!"

  Dele Alli (28, Everton) explained the argument between Chelsea players from the player's perspective. Dele Alli appeared as a daily commentator on the 'Monday Night Football' program of British broadcaster 'Sky Sports' on the 16th (Korean time). He broadcasted the match between Chelsea and Everton in the 33rd round of the Premier League in the 2023-2024 season. The match ended in Chelsea's victory. Cole Farmer scored 4 goals and won 6-0. Chelsea, who took three points, rose to 9th place in the league with 47 points (13 wins, 8 draws, 10 losses). The point gap with 7th place Manchester United (50 points) is only 3 points. Alli, who plays for Everton, has not played a single game this season due to a groin injury. Ali, who had not shown his face on the pitch, made a surprise transformation into a commentator and watched his colleagues play in the broadcasting station's studio. Alli emerged as 'England's best talent' after moving to Tottenham in 2

I don’t think I will be kicked out like Sancho’

  The case of Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho (19) appears to be being resolved quickly. British media 'Mirror' reported on the 15th (Korean time), "Garnacho clicked 'Like' on two social media posts criticizing manager Eric ten Haag. Since then, the Manchester United club has been resolving the issue internally." . He added, “Garnacho quickly canceled the ‘like’ and is reflecting.” Garnacho has emerged as a key player in Manchester United's attack this season. He joined the Manchester United youth team in 2020 and has had his chance since last season. He has 9 goals and 4 assists in 42 games this season, and his influence on the team is so great that he started 24 of 30 Premier League games. However, this was not the case in his last match away to Bournemouth in round 33 of the Premier League. He only played in the first half and was substituted in the second half. Garnacho was very dissatisfied with the earlier-than-usual replacement timing. Af

 Korea Gas Corporation overcame Andrew Nicholson's injury absence and won 81 to 75 in the away game against Seoul Samsung in the '2023-2024 Cheong Kwan Jang Professional Basketball' held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on the 4th. With this, Korea Gas Corporation had a 4-game winning streak against Samsung, and Samsung lost its second winning opportunity of the season. It was a confrontation like the ‘contradiction’ of the ‘red pepper powder unit’. The home team Samsung is still in last place, but without a recent losing streak, it defeated Ulsan Hyundai Mobis 92 to 77 on the 2nd, making the top teams nervous. The away team, Korea Gas Corporation, is also a 'dark horse' that rose to 7th place by creating a sensation in the second half of the year. It defeated Seoul SK 79 to 66 on the 1st, and then lost by 1 point (74 to 75) in the Wonju DB game on the 2nd. I made it happen. The two teams, who are playing the role of 'red pepper powder', were armed with the

  Miller's shot exploded. The Charlotte Hornets won 124-115 against the Orlando Magic in the 2023-2024 NBA regular season held at the Charlotte Spectrum Center on the 6th (Korean time). Charlotte is having a depressing season. With high expectations, they aimed to advance to the playoffs, but faced limitations and are currently languishing in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference. To make matters worse, ace LaMelo Ball was also out for the season due to an ankle injury. In Charlotte, a player who seemed like a welcome relief in a drought has appeared. This is Brandon Miller, the second overall pick in the 2023 NBA rookie draft. Miller played nearly 40 minutes that day, scoring 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. Thanks to this, Charlotte was able to give home fans a sweet victory. Miller showed off his superb shooting sense from the first quarter. He scored 19 points in the first quarter alone, leading Charlotte to a 15-point lead. Miller's showtime continued in the secon
