Jeon, who came from behind to win 77-72 at home against Wonju DB in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 22nd, felt like he had gone through hell with heaven.
It was their own 'Big Match'. SK and DB, who won the opening game side by side, aimed for their second consecutive opening win of the season after Changwon LG (2 wins). DB, which won the regular league title with an unchanging lead last season, and SK, which won its first combined championship in the 2021-2022 season, must know the importance of such a game better than anyone else.
Therefore, Jeon picked Albano as the key to the game. Coach Jeon said, `From the KBL Cup, Albano is not an Asian quarter, but a foreign mercenary. If Albano scores in the second half of 20 points, we won't be able to win. "Oh Jae-hyun and Ahn Young-joon should take turns blocking, and other players should help defend."I appreciated Albano's scarier skills.
DB manager Kim Joo-sung, who expected the checks on Albano to be concentrated, also said, `Albano's utilization has not changed much from the past. Didrick Lawson, who worked with him last season, left, but he trained another option with Onuaku, who has good under-the-goal power, and Albano's role in spraying is not reduced."

Oh Jae-hyun followed him in close defense from the beginning of the game, and sometimes big men such as Warnie defended like a modified double team. Ball rationing derived from albano was tightly blocked. When the DB bench replaced Albano for the first time in 7 minutes and 26 seconds in the first quarter, Albano's stat had only a 0% shooting success rate (four attempts) and one rebound, and two fouls were committed. In the meantime, SK saved 'Doing well' In the opening game against Anyang Jeonggwanjang (95 to 71 wins) on the 20th, he overturned the expectation of 'Power' with his unique speed as 'Lightning Team', which recorded the most fastballs (19) in history.
In the end, coach Kim had to put in Yoo Hyun-joon to run the game for 7 minutes and 8 seconds instead of removing Albano from the starting line in the second quarter. Ironically, the DB played well enough to run to a 10-point gap (36-26) at one point, with the outer guns of Lee Kwan-hee (3) and Yoo Hyun-joon (1) bursting while Albano was absent. Albano started in the third quarter, but was even "humiliating" in about three minutes. SK Jamil Warney and Oh Jae-hyun were intercepted consecutively, providing an excuse for consecutive runs, and DB allowed the first 44-46 turnaround. In the end, he replaced Yoo Hyun-joon again.
Even after SK blocked Albano, there was something missing '2%'. It's an outer shell. SK, which succeeded in only one out of 12 3-pointers until the first half, chased Kim Sun-hyung's outer shot late in the third quarter, but was repeatedly blocked by DB's Altoran Sixman Lee Kwan-hee and Kim Hoon's three-point shots. In the fourth quarter of the game, even Robert Carter, a mercenary, added a three-point shot, and his stomach was bound to explode.
But is this also 'Humbleness 'Humbleness '. SK scored three runs when it was really needed. Ahn Young-joon and Warney's three-point shots, which came out one minute before the end, were the most thrilling winning shots of the season. Home fans, who received two consecutive wins as a bonus, responded with shouts that seemed to burst the gym.
