Gas Corporation beat KCC 97:71 in an away game held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on the 22nd.
Gas Corporation, which recorded 12 wins and 8 losses, trailed second-place Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (14-6) by two games.
KCC, who wants to break the three-game losing streak and climb to the 50% winning rate, and Gas Corporation, who wants to avoid losing consecutive games and re-enter the lead race, were the bronze dream 'loss derby'.
In particular, the two teams sang an interesting 'General Meng-gun' in their first and second rounds. In the first round of the first round, Gas Corporation, which had a scary winning streak at the time, won by 80-58 and 22 points. Later in the second round match, KCC paid back by 100 to 78, the same 22 points.
The third face-to-face confrontation after a crushing defeat. "It is true that there is Choi Jun-yong, there is no difference, and there is no difference," Kang Hyuk, head coach of Gas Corporation, said in an interview before the game. Choi Jun-yong, who is on guard, was injured and absent, so it was like an opportunity for Korea Gas Corporation. Coach Kang's expectations were right from the beginning.
Gas Corporation succeeded in taking the lead in the beginning with Andrew Nicholson, the powerhouse under the basket. KCC was unable to avoid a high inferiority from the beginning. While Song Kyo-chang (knee injury) and Choi Jun-yong (foot pain) are absent, even Heo Woong is not in normal condition due to elbow pain in the recent hellish game schedule. Dionte Burton was selected as a starter to arrange his physical strength with Leon Williams, so it was inevitable that his under-the-goal competitiveness fell significantly.

Thanks to this, Gas Corporation, which finished the first quarter 21-10, widened the gap from the beginning of the second quarter, harassing KCC. KCC balanced the high fight against Ndoye with Williams' input, but the outer shot was constantly frustrating, and Lee Seung-hyun's shot sense of the "middle shot strong" was hardly revived.
Lee Seung-hyun's shot sense was revived around the middle of the second quarter, but it was still not enough to catch up with the gas corporation that ran away. Nicholson, who took a break thanks to Eun Do-ye, scored more than a point through a three-point shot and a target under the basket, so it was a gas corporation that had nothing to be afraid of.
On the other hand, KCC did not work even though KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin's intention did not work. Before the game "I won't mind Nicholson's score in our situation. Coach Jeon, who chose 'Reality Alternative', succeeded in blocking the scoring of opposing guards such as Kim Nak-hyun, Jung Sung-woo, and Sam Josef Bellangel by single digits until the first half. However, the six-man and foreign player's goals, which had been hoped for, did not match Williams' six points and Lee Ho-hyun's four points.
Gas Corporation, which finished with a whopping 16-point lead (28-44) in the first half, decided the game early in the third quarter. Vellangel and Kwak Jung-hoon, who took a breath until the first half, fiercely poured out three points and allowed them to run '30 +' at one point. In the second half alone, Kwak Jung-hoon and Vellangel combined for eight 3-pointers. KCC shooter Lee Keun-hwi showed a 'power' that succeeded 8 out of 10, but in front of the too wide score gap, it was 'Taemin in a teacup'.
