'I don't want to share!' Seoul SK, the men's professional basketball team, succeeded in leading Mercury again.

SK won 67-63 at home against Suwon KT in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 5th.




SK, which won four consecutive games, continued its solo lead with 19 wins and 6 losses, and KT was satisfied with the third place (15 wins and 11 losses), which failed to win three consecutive games.

It is a 'Telephone Rival Match' that took place while it was clear why each side was on the rise side by side and each side had an urgent way to go. SK, which has won three consecutive games, has been maintaining its half-game lead since late last year, continuing to beat the pursuit of second-place Hyundai Mobis.

KT, which has won two consecutive games, looked at 'higher ' All the injured players returned after joining ace Huh Hoon, who returned from injury after 480,000 on the 29th of last month. KT manager Song Young-jin explains that he has set a goal to join the competition for the top spot since the membership has been completed.

Unlike KT, which was worried about injury, SK had a small variable on the day. Best members Oh Jae-hyun and Altoran Sixman Kim Hyung-bin were briefly left out due to injuries. SK manager Jeon Hee-chul said, `Oh Jae-hyun is out, but Choi Won-hyuk and Kim Tae-hoon, who have good pace recently, can fill it," he said with a calm expression on his face, but he threw an interesting topic of viewing. In other words, it's a kind of "'offensive rebound vs defensive rebound', a kind of 'contradictory confrontation'.

Coach Jeon said, "When analyzing the driving force behind KT's maintenance of third place despite injury, the remaining six-men alternately played their part. It feels like it's not organized enough, but it was close enough to win the first place in the offensive rebound"We are a team with good defensive rebounds on the record. He especially emphasized not to lose even if there is a tie in the rebound fight."

a confrontation of contradictions that began that way. In the first quarter, Jeon's wish of rebounding competition 12-12 and 'Let's draw' was right. However, the score was 15-20, and SK was behind. This is because there was KT ace Huh Hoon who returned as SK feared. Heo Hoon, who started, flew well from the beginning. In the first quarter alone, both teams took the lead with seven points and two assists, including one 3-pointer. SK also exposed its chronic disease-like '1 quarter inferior jinx' on the same day without catching the sense of shot.

SK, who started so anxious, showed their claws slightly in the second quarter. It was slightly ahead 11-10 in rebounding, and Warney, who finished breathing, began full-fledged operation, and Kim Sun-hyung raised the team's unique speed. On the other hand, KT had to finish the first half with the game back to square one (32-32) by allowing Huh Hoon to chase while taking a break for 3 minutes and 39 seconds to arrange his physical strength.

The two teams, which exchanged 3-pointers in the second half, which started blank, and a fierce seesaw game like a rival, repeated 'Twin-1 Goal Difference' for about 6 minutes. The patterns were the same, such as a series of shooting mistakes in each other's strong defense or free throws according to shot movements and team filings. About two minutes before the end of the quarter, KT had to settle for finishing the third quarter with a one-point lead (48-47) after widening the gap by four points (47-43) and returning to square one due to Kim Sun-hyung's consecutive layup. The third-quarter rebounding competition was 9-9, but SK performed 'Mission' anyway.

SK, who endured well, pulled out a hidden weapon called 'The Strongest Team in the Fourth Quarter' As always, SK fired up in the fourth quarter. With Warney dominating under the basket from the beginning of the quarter, Oh Se-geun and Kim Sun-hyung's outer guns burst. Instead of giving up only two points for about three minutes, he swept 11 points. SK, which took the victory, was not intimidated by the opponent's fierce chase afterwards, and took a breather with Warney's winning shot 53 seconds before the end. KT had to suffer from foul trouble, including a team foul in about four minutes, and it was painful that Huh Hoon was tied up scoreless in the second half. The final rebound competition result was 39-38, and KT's close advantage. But what was scarier was SK's explosive power in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, Changwon LG defeated Goyang Sono 67-64 to escape its second straight loss.
