LG beat KCC 74-52 in an away game held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on the 15th.
LG, which won its second consecutive game of the season, tied for sixth with Wonju DB with 7 wins and 10 losses. KCC sought to win against its former team for the second time this season, but it lost nine games, losing nine games, and staying in fifth place with two consecutive losses.
It was a derby of LG's neighboring neighborhood, aiming to advance to the round of 6 along with KCC's consecutive wins, avoiding consecutive losses and aiming to advance to the round of 6 with consecutive wins.
Each of them had a task to solve. KCC was dragged throughout the first quarter except for a two-point lead at the beginning of the first quarter against Wonju DB (88 to 92 losses) the previous day, but failed to win its first three consecutive games of the season. Earlier on the 8th, KCC beat Suwon KT with a consecutive victory based on a surprise victory (80-74 wins) over the leading Seoul SK after suffering a buzzer-beater shock loss (58-60). Using this pace, he wants to quickly shake off the shock of being virtually completely defeated by the DB.
LG, which won three consecutive games at the beginning of the season, was good to escape after falling into a deep hole of seven consecutive losses in November, but it is still uneasy with the so-called 「Pong-Pong-Dang」 performance. This is also the reason why the second consecutive win of this season is urgent. I want to continue my winning streak against KCC, which has continued since last season.
They are two teams with powerful mercenaries called Dionte Burton (KCC), who recently revived in the match of Dongsang Imong, and the strongest under-the-goal Asem Maray (LG). However, there was a player who received as much attention as he did in the game. KCC's flagship Hur Woong and LG's Asian quarter Cal Tamayo.
Despite the defeat against DB the previous day, Heo Woong recorded a career high (32 points, 6 3-pointers, 3 assists). He showed that he is finally recovering after scoring 22 points and six assists in the Daegu Korea Gas Corporation match (100:78 wins).
Tamayo also emerged as the team's guardian deity on the 13th, writing a career high (26 points, 7 rebounds) in the match against Jeonggwanjang (79:768 wins) in Anyang.
The indirect match between the two heated up from the first quarter. When Tamayo scored the first point in the first quarter, Heo Woong immediately erased it with a two-point shot, and when Tamayo hit a three-point shot again, Heo Woong fought back with a three-point shot in 13 seconds.
After that, it was Heo Woong-Tamayo who was in charge of seven points side by side until the end of the first quarter, 5:14 seconds before the end of the first quarter. This tight trend flowed toward LG, where Marayi's under-the-goal power and Jeon Sung-hyun's outer gun were added, and ended with 25-15 and LG's dominance.
In the second quarter, the benches of both teams used conflicting methods. KCC gave Heo Woong a full rest to control his physical strength. On the other hand, LG added six points by playing Tamayo for 6 minutes and 57 seconds. As a result, LG widened the gap and finished the first half 41-29, creating a perfect head start.
KCC normally put Heo Woong as a troubleshooter again in the third quarter, but they could not avoid hidden ambush, 'deterioration of concentration due to physical burden'. KCC players, who played their eighth game in December due to their participation in the East Asian Super League (EASL), saw their shot success rate drop significantly in the second half, and they practically killed themselves by exaggerating turnovers.
On the other hand, LG finished the complete victory with four points, two rebounds and two assists in the second half alone, and three-point shots (three) by Yoo Ki-sang.
