Korea Gas Corporation defeated SK 88-75; Jeon Hee-chul blocked his personal record of 100 Wins
Don't look down on the lower team!'
Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, which was a lower team in its late years, succeeded in "catfish hunting" again.
Korea Gas Corporation won 88-75 in an away game against Seoul SK in the "2023-2024 Jeonggwanjang Professional Basketball" at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 22nd.
As a result, the Korea Gas Corporation showed the spicy taste of the "red pepper powder unit" as it succeeded in catching SK, the second-ranked team in the league, after slowing down in the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis match (88-91 loss) on the 20th following the recent four-game winning streak.
On the other hand, SK held back the lead Wonju DB two days ago, but the gap with the lead widened to 4.0 games as it was caught by the eighth-ranked Korea Gas Corporation in the league.
Until the start of the game, few people denied SK's victory. This is because SK, which had taken the lead DB two days ago, even with key players such as Ahn Young-joon, Kim Sun-hyung and Heo Il-young left due to injury.
Korea Gas Corporation, which has been on the rise recently due to consecutive wins, is relatively weak in terms of pace this season, and it seems difficult to overcome SK because it lost two consecutive games against SK this season.
SK, however, has been hampered by its chronic illness, which SK has been wary of playing well. From the start of the first quarter, SK showed signs of reviving the rival team's spirit with loose plays including errors.
Although it was at the bottom of the list, there were even doubts that it might have responded too loosely to the Korea Gas Corporation, which had shown a grit that it was "no longer an easy team" due to its recent upturn. Korea Gas Corporation succeeded in preempting the team by banking on ace mercenary Andrew Nicholson and Philippine player Sam Josef Bellangel.
Korea Gas Corporation, which started 25-17 with an amazing defensive concentration in the first quarter, continued its 20-point scoring (24 points) streak instead of blocking the opponent with 17 points in the second quarter, signaling an early victory.
SK, which had already trailed 34-49 in the first half, tried to pull the reins of the chase by banking on its trusted Jamil Warney, but it was not enough to catch up with the Korea Gas Corporation, which had already made a splash.
In particular, Korea Gas Corporation was able to beat SK's pursuit thanks to Park Ji-hoon's 13 points, including three 3-pointers, in each crisis, following Nicholson (33 points - 9 rebounds) and Bellangel (17 points - 5 assists), who showed the essence of court reading early.
On the other hand, it was painful that SK failed to penetrate Korea Gas Corporation's strong defense, with the rest of the players scoring only single-digit points in addition to Warney scoring 21 points, and was inferior in the success rate of two-point easy shots.
SK manager Jeon Hee-chul will also postpone his record of achieving 100 wins as the lowest-ever KBL coach until the next opportunity. 토토사이트
