Jeong Kwan-jang won 85-78 at home against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Jeong Kwan-jang Arena in Anyang on the 1st.
As a result, Jeong Kwan-jang won four consecutive games for the first time this season to rise to eighth place, while Hyundai Mobis failed to come in second place alone.
It was their own big match that determined whether to leap to eighth place or maintain second place alone.
Jeong Kwan-jang, who remained at the bottom of the list for a while and rose to ninth place, could take away Samsung's eighth place in Seoul ahead of the winning rate if he wins on the day. Hyundai Mobis was chased by a half-game as third-place Changwon LG grabbed Wonju DB and recorded seven consecutive wins and 21 wins and 13 losses in the previous game. If he lost, he had to share the second place with LG.
Jeong Kwan-jang, who belatedly began to see the effect of recruiting Dionte Burton trade, recently succeeded in gaining the upper hand by taking advantage of his three consecutive wins. In the Asian quarter, Gomez made two 3-pointers in the first quarter alone, and guard Park Ji-hoon also boasted his peak shooting sense while Burton played his part with scoring and assist.
Leading 30-22 in the first quarter, Jeong Kwan-jang fell into a close race in the second quarter facing Hyundai Mobis' pursuit of Shaunlong and Han Ho-bin's outer guns. Jeong Kwan-jang, who endured with his labound concentration despite Hyundai Mobis' fierce chase, succeeded in finishing the first half with a 45-40 lead.

Three minutes and 16 seconds before the end of the game, Hyundai Mobis, which made the first come-from-behind (56-53) with Han Ho-bin's 3-point shot, immediately scored Han Ho-bin's consecutive goal with a quick attack assist following Lee Woo-suk's defensive rebound. When Jeong Kwan-jang tried to chase Johnny O'Brient, who was put in as Burton's backup, Shaun Long's under-the-goal play saved Hyundai Mobis.
The joys and sorrows are divided again. Thirty-three seconds before the end, Shaun Long handed over the lead to the Jeonggwanjang when he committed an under-the-scenes foul pulling his uniform during a fight against O'Brien. In the meantime, Jeong Kwan-jang was once pushed to 7 points after allowing the reversal, and then chased by 2 points (62-64) to extinguish the third quarter 'urgent fire'.
In the fourth quarter of fate, things were upheaval. Hyundai Mobis' attempts to attack have failed one after another since it was tied with Jeong Kwan-jang Han Seung-hee's first score. On the other hand, Jeong Kwan-jang turned around 67-64 when the button he put in as a troubleshooter succeeded in a one-shot play of the bonus. After Gage Prim's turnover, Jeong Kwan-jang, who added Han Seung-hee's mid-range two-point shot, rewound the atmosphere. Hyundai Mobis' frustrating attack power intensified without being eaten by the outer gun.
Six minutes and 27 seconds before the end of the game, Jeong Kwan-jang, who ran away by 10 points with Park Ji-hoon's 3-pointer, responded to Lee Woo-seok's counterattack 3-pointer with Burton's personal breakthrough and continued to maintain the gap by weaving Gomez's 3-pointer.
Jeong Kwan-jang seemed to be in a big crisis with ace Park Ji-hoon's chance to score with a ridiculous ball catch mistake one minute and 36 seconds before the end, when he was leading 82-78, but 59 seconds ago, Park Ji-hoon recovered with a valuable offensive rebound. In the end, Bae Byung-joon's wedge three-run shot 14 seconds before the end was over, and Jeong Kwan-jang shouted hurrah.
