DB, which won four consecutive games, rose to sixth place with six wins and eight losses, beating Jeong Kwan-jang (5 wins and eight losses). DB, which was a favorite before the season, but had a series of poor performances, reorganized the team after the A-match break, setting the stage for a leap forward.



Yoo Hyun-jun's sudden retirement. However, DB manager Kim Joo-sung was calm before the game. He said "The spirit of the court chief is good. Kang Sang-jae plays the fourth role due to Kim Jong-kyu's injury, which is a little sluggish. He shows better performance when he plays small forward. He said, "I intend to improve Kang Sang-jae's condition by using Seo Min-soo as No. 4."

Jeong Kwan-jang is out of the lineup due to a sudden back disc injury. Choi Seung-tae, the head coach, said "He was discharged, but he couldn't accompany him on the expedition.

▶ First half

DB's fresh start. Albano and Park In-woong's three-point lead to a 6-0 lead.



The trend of the articles of association is quite good after Byun Joon-hyung joined. Jeong Kwan-jang soon recovered the flow, chased Han Seung-hee's shot under the basket, and scored a fastball.

Jeong Kwan-jang started out as a big lineup. I added Lahren, Jonghyun Lee, and Han Seung-hee. Formation conscious of the height of DB Onuaku and Kang Sang-jae.

Midway through the first quarter, with Park Ji-hoon in, converting to a two-guard system. However, DB is Albano and Onuaku's Pick & Pop. Kang Sang-jae's under-the-goal shot by Onuaku's exquisite under-the-goal pass passed through the rim, creating a good atmosphere. a time-out of the articles of association.

DB led the game. Onuaku showed confidence in his face-up showdown with Lahren. He even succeeded in an exquisite 2-2 attack with 4 seconds left before the end of the game. After 2 to 2, he turned the ball that Kim Si-rae gave to him into an alley-oop dunk.

22-11, 1st quarter ended with an 11-point DB lead.

DB began to dominate in the second quarter.

The outer shell of the articles of association did not work terribly. There was an open chance, but all nine attempts in the first quarter also failed.

The same was true of the second quarter.

On the other hand, DB's mid-jumper after Kim Si-rae, who was replaced at the end of the first quarter, broke through the bottom of the goal one after another. A series of quick runs were scored. Up to Albano's three points. The lead was widened to 38-15 and 23 points. It was a dead end.

Even after the operation time, the flow did not change. The articles of association showed severe difficulty in fielding.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who had been in a good flow since Byun Joon-hyung joined, had good transition speed and activity, but his shooting finish was the worst. On the other hand, DB players' shooting conditions were at their peak. In the end, the DB lead continued by more than 20 points.

As the frustrating trend continued, Jeong Kwan-jang sent Park Jung-woong, the No. 1 rookie in the draft, to the court. Park Jung-woong made a layup shot with a breakthrough under the basket with 1:35 left to make his professional debut score.

Lahren's three-run shot went off in a row. However, DB created an open 3-pointer with a drive-and-kick and an extra pass, and passed through the rim as it was. In the end, he ended the first half with a 56-26, 30-point lead.

▶ Second half

In the first half, the key reason why DB led by as many as 30 points was the fielding rate. DB recorded 41% of 3-point shooting success rate and 68% of 2-point shooting success rate. Jung Kwan-jang's defense was weak, but the DB players were in such good shooting condition.

On the other hand, Jeong Kwan-jang's three-point shooting success rate in the first half was only 6% (17 cities and 1 successful). There were many open chances, and there were professional shooters in the team, but strangely, the shot turned away from the rim.

Early in the third quarter, Jeong Kwan-jang's last chance to fight back. However, DB ran away with Carter and Albano's back-to-back 3-pointers.

There is still a lot of time left, but it was virtually a decision to win or lose.

Jeong Kwan-jang tested the possibility by using Park Jung-woong for a long time in the third quarter. Although it did not leave a big impact, the movement at first glance was sharp. The defense's aggressiveness and deflection movements were not bad. There were excessive attacks in the attack, but the ability to break through was not bad. He was a player with high potential. DB also explored the possibility by hiring rookie Kim Bo-bae at the end of the fourth quarter.

In the third quarter, 70-45, DB ended with a lead by 25 points. The victory or defeat was decided early on.

DB's core Onuaku didn't play much time. He played 15 minutes and 52 seconds until the third quarter. His concentration was definitely stable under the basket. He made a series of under-the-goal breakthroughs against Lahren, who has good under-the-goal defense. Albano also found his normal condition. Last season's move came out. Carter was also competitive with two options. As the core changed stably, DB's airborne balance regained stability. The roles of Lee Kwan-hee and Kim Si-rae, Park In-woong, and Lee Yong-woo were also good.
