Seoul SK has defeated the enemy Hyundai Mobis.

SK beat Hyundai Mobis 95-76 in the away game of the KCC professional basketball regular league in the 2024-2025 season at Dongcheon Indoor Gymnasium in Ulsan on the 6th.

SK, which recorded 5 wins and 2 losses, moved up to second place, while Hyundai Mobis tied for fourth place with 4 wins and 3 losses.



SK's Jamil Warney scored 26 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, and Ahn Young-joon supported them with 14 points and six rebounds. Hyundai Mobis' Sean Long scored the most points in the team with 21 points, but it was an unnutritious score most of the time in the fourth quarter when the win or loss was decided.

Before the game, Hyundai Mobis coach Cho Dong-hyun said, `SK is good at fast attack. In order not to give a quick attack, our attack setting should be good."



SK's fastball comes from the league's best still. Use a strong double team this season. It's 'High risk, high return'. However, another strength of this system is that SK's transition has accelerated and brings an explosive power of flow that was not much last season. Although the percentage of 3-point shots allowed has increased, it is an inevitable tax. This is why SK has weaknesses in 3-point shooting, but remains at the top of the list.

SK manager Jeon Hee-chul said, `Hyundai Mobis is good at defending. In addition, I play a high pick game, and it's not easy to set up, but Hyundai Mobis does it. From a defense standpoint, it's quite tricky. "Hyundai Mobis and we have a lot of two-point fights. The post-attack proportion is high, and the reason why we had a fierce battle last season is why."



In the end, SK must prevent a highly likely attack under the basket, in which Hyundai Mobis' gauge prim and Sean Long are rotated. In offense, you have to increase the success rate of 3-pointers. The key to Hyundai Mobis is how to break through SK's strong pressure and trap represented by Oh Jae-hyun from the outside along with blocking SK's fastball.

▶ First half

It was unusual from the beginning. SK made two quick attacks. It was a counterattack by a fastball by a steal and a failed layup shot by Hyundai Mobis' Park Moo-bin. On the other hand, Hyundai Mobis made a series of Prim's mistakes. The mid-jumper, which is a specialty, also came back from the rim.

12-5, SK took over the initial momentum.

Since then, Hyundai Mobis' fielding has been sluggish. SK retaliated with a sharp fastball. It perfectly led the mood. 22-11, 11-point lead ends first quarter.

In the second quarter, Hyundai Mobis scored four points in a row. Let's start the chase. At this time, Hicks, who took the court instead of Warney, hit a low parabolic three-run shot.

Ham Ji-hoon had a superb high-ro with Sean Long with 6:40 left in the second quarter. He scored 8,000 points in his career.

One of the biggest strengths of the two teams is that the difference in skills between foreign players in the first and second options is not large. Hyundai Mobis has Sean Long and Prim, and SK has Warnie and Hicks. Hicks played his part, hitting the team's first three-point game, and Sean Long remained sluggish as an option.

Hyundai Mobis' post-up option of Sean Long didn't work at all. Sean Long made a gesture of not blowing a foul. There was also an unfair scene, and there was a mixture of useless protests that were pushed back by the struggle. The problem is that Hyundai Mobis' attack itself did not flow smoothly. SK still targeted Hyundai Mobis' defense with mid-jumper centered on strong transitions. 39-26, 13 points with 2:16 left. Hyundai Mobis' Operation Time.

However, there has been no significant counterattack. It was Ham Ji-hoon's three-point shot from the top and Hyundai Mobis' first three-point shot.

In the end, 43-31, SK's lead by 12 points.

However, a 12-point difference was slightly insufficient compared to the content of the game.

SK's three-point shots in the first half were only 8% successful in 12 cities and provinces. However, the fastball made a whopping seven. The data perfectly represented SK's strengths and weaknesses.

Both teams had disastrous 3-point shooting success rates. Hyundai Mobis was hit harder. SK scored one by one with transitions, and Hyundai Mobis was sluggish as Sean Long and Prim's post-up options were ineffective, and they made only one three-point shot.

▶ Second half

In Hyundai Mobis, the signature team cheered up. He made three runs and a series of breakthroughs under the basket.

However, Kim Sun-hyung opened the door for SK. He hit two 3-pointers. In the corner, even Oh Jae-hyun had a corner mid-range shot. In the end, SK beat Hyundai Mobis' pursuit. 60-44, 16-point lead.

The game got faster. However, Hyundai Mobis had many mistakes. SK began to dominate the game with sophisticated transitions. In addition, Choi Won-hyuk stole the ball of the ball handler's signature team with strong pressure, and Warnie connected it to the dunk fastball. 68-46, 22 points lead. In fact, the victory or defeat is over here.

The weaknesses of Sean Long and Prim in Hyundai Mobis are too obvious.

Sean Long is still out of mind control. In the era of hard calls, there is, of course, Sean Long's disadvantage. Shaun Long, who prefers under-the-basket breakthrough to outer shoo. Of course, it's a battlefield under the basket. Sean Long's one-on-one post-up and face-up, which are not on the power side, are often unreasonable. The opponent momentarily enters the double team. He shoots while losing his balance while not winning the power. It is also less efficient and accurate.

Prim has a lot of ups and downs. The midjumper is good, the power is good, but I play a lot of solo plays that don't fit the flow. More delicate coordination between the two players on the bench is needed.

On this day, Hyundai Mobis still struggled against a team with strong external pressure. There is Park Moo-bin's signature, Ok Jun, but there are still weaknesses in outer compression. It is not easy to fix. Hyundai Mobis had the worst game as the 3-point shooting success rate dropped.

On the other hand, SK still has weaknesses in 3-point shooting. However, in order to maintain the defensive balance, Oh Jae-hyun and Choi Won-hyuk, who have weaknesses in outer shooting, must be continuously used.
