KCC won in the absence of Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong. DeYonte Burton exploded when he scored 40 points, and Huh Woong also scored 18. In addition, KCC was considered to be weak in backup, but Jung Chang-young and Kim Dong-hyun showed tough defense and wide activity, which laid the foundation for victory.
However, KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin protested roughly at the end of the first half for not blowing foul play, and was sent off for the opening game due to accumulated technical fouls.
In an interview after the game, Jeon said "It was a meaningful game. I am grateful to the players for winning in a difficult situation. I think it's worth two to three wins, not one win. It's going to be a difficult journey, but I think it's a game where the players can get confidence. "I think I understood my weaknesses or strengths during the cup, and I had a practice game three days ago after the cup, and the content was good. I think I've got enough confidence in today's game."
He also said, `I think we should change from an offensive team to a defensive team in the current situation, but the players followed well.'
He said "Because he was short, there was a lot of rebound difference, but it's the players' fighting spirit that they were able to win the game. It is encouraging that there are fewer turnovers. Each player played his part, and Burton was amazing. Heo Woong and three difficult 3-pointers were also quite large. Lee Seung-hyun's strong defense was supported. Overall, he increased his concentration on defense."
