Ulsan Hyundai Mobis achieved three consecutive wins by showing the virtue of 'middle cut (the important thing is the undaunted mind).' Early in the game, he fell behind Daegu Korea Corporation by a wide margin, but he did not give up. He persistently followed and completed a dramatic reversal. Lee Woo-seok's three-run shot with 1.4 seconds left was the winning shot.
Hyundai Mobis defeated Korea Gas Corporation 67-64 in an away game of '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Daegu Gymnasium on the 10th. As a result, Hyundai Mobis has recently won three consecutive games. He also won five consecutive away games.
On the other hand, the Korea Gas Corporation was careless and missed the new record of the most consecutive wins since its foundation. If Korea Gas Corporation, which has already set a record for the most consecutive wins with seven consecutive wins, won on the day, it could have tied the record for the most consecutive wins by the telegraph club (E-Land) along with a new team record. He led by 15 points in the first half and seemed likely to achieve the record. However, in the second half, the turnovers and shoot failures were repeated and eventually lost.
The first quarter was `Nicholson's solo stage.' He hit a three-run shot at 5:16 when the score was 4-4. After the defensive rebound, he participated in the attack and put in a slam dunk. Encouraged by Nicholson's performance, Korea Gas Corporation scored 10 consecutive points with a fastball layup following a still by Kim Nak-hyun and a 3-pointer by Shin Seung-min. Hyundai Mobis' Sean Long rose after the offensive rebound and scored two points, but Nicholson again scored two-point shots and three-point shots in a row.
Thanks to Nicholson's 10 points, including two 3-pointers, in the first quarter alone, Korea Gas Corporation created an overwhelming 23-7 advantage. It's a situation where you can say 'The game's broken' in words these days.
However, Hyundai Mobis, ranked third in the league, steadily narrowed the gap by starting from the basics. While Nicholson rested in the second quarter, Prim scored 10 points. Still, Korea Gas Corporation still has a generous 15-point advantage with 37-22 in the first half.
In the third quarter, Hyundai Mobis made a single-digit score difference. Korea Gas Corporation committed as many as eight turnovers in the third quarter alone, as if intoxicated with the atmosphere of victory too early. Hyundai Mobis did not miss the opportunity. Prim, who has a high probability of scoring, was put ahead. Prim scored nine straight points for 2:36 from 2:33 into the third quarter, trailing 24-41, to stir up the Korea Gas Corporation post. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 51-46, and Korea Gas Corporation led by only five points. It was difficult to predict the direction of victory or defeat in the fourth quarter.
With 62-57 in the fourth quarter, Wushu Ndoye committed five fouls. The time left is 3 minutes and 53 seconds. However, Shaun Long failed on both free throws. After Korea Gas Corporation's Jung Sung-woo's three-point attempt failed, Hyundai Mobis' Park Moo-bin scored three points, making it 60-62.
Sean Long's tiebreaking slam dunk with 1:59 left. Ham Ji-hoon was later stolen by Nicholson, but he ran to the end and blocked Shin Seung-min's shot to prevent the loss. With 52 seconds left, Park Moo-bin finally succeeded in a come-from-behind jumper to make it 64-62. However, with Kim Nak-hyun's exquisite pass, Vellangel scored under the basket and became 64-64 again.
The remaining time is 22.6 seconds. Hyundai Mobis has the right to attack. Cho Dong-hyun, the head coach of Hyundai Mobis, said, "We have a time for operation. Lee Woo-suk played the key player role. Three runs from the side passed through the rim with 1.4 seconds left to run the ball. Lee Woo-seok roared with certainty of victory.
