Daegu Korea Gas Corporation defeated even Suwon KT.
Korea Gas Corporation defeated KT 82-74 in the home game of the KCC professional basketball regular league in the 2024-2025 season at Daegu Indoor Gymnasium on the 5th.
Korea Gas Corporation, which won six consecutive games, took the lead with six wins and one loss.
Andrew Nicholson exploded 33 points, and Sam Joseph Bellangel (12 points) and Kim Nak-hyun and Shin Seung-min (11 points or more) played evenly. On the other hand, KT's Raysion Hemons (19 points, 14 rebounds), Ha Yoon-ki (16 points, 8 rebounds), and Huh Hoon (18 points, 6 assists) struggled, but they were lethargic in the match.
Korea Gas Corporation was the star of the early season.
It was originally a gas corporation that was evaluated as a mid-range power. However, Belangel has clearly established himself as the outside ace. Kim Nak-hyun also remained the same. Nicholson also scored multiple points, taking the center stage as a one-option foreign player.
In addition, Shin Seung-min and Lee Dae-heon were also solid. Coach Kang Hyuk maximized his power by breathing superbly with the players.
On the other hand, KT's key wingman Moon Jung-hyun is out due to an ankle injury.
However, there was Heo Hun, one of the league's top guards, Raysion Hemons, a one-choice foreign player, and Ha Yoon-ki, who boasted the highest height. Wingman resources such as Han Hee-won and Moon Sung-gon were still solid.
KT led until the third quarter. 68-57, took an 11-point lead.
Gas Corporation had a low field goal hit rate. The overall condition was not good, and the chase flow was rarely caught.
However, in the fourth quarter, there was a strong pressure defense and the explosive power of offense.
With 5:11 left in the fourth quarter, Gas Corporation perfectly dominated the game. He exploded 14 points in a row until 1:48 left in the game. Nicholson and Belangel scored consecutive points, and Jung Sung-woo also exploded a three-point game. It was a stormy time.
