KT won 95:84 in an away game against KCC in the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on the 2nd.
KT, ranked fourth with four consecutive wins, has reached the 20th victory (15 losses). He trailed the joint third place (Hyundai Mobis, LG) by 1.5 games as the lone fourth place.
On the other hand, KCC, which achieved 'complete body', lost consecutive games.
The fourth face-off of the season between the two teams drew more attention to KCC. Song Kyo-chang Choi Joon-yong, who had been out of injury for a long time, entered the entry for the first time since his return, and Donovan Smith (2m7), a big man who was recruited as an alternative mercenary for the season, made his debut.
However, KCC was inferior in the beginning of the game. He failed to overcome KT's high wall in his defensive concentration under the basket. On the other hand, KT's outer guns hit one after another, centering on Huh Hoon.
KCC, trailing 16-30 in the first quarter, started Choi Jun-yong in the second quarter. I tried to change the atmosphere. Choi Joon-yong, who lacked training due to rehabilitation, did not have much presence. Lauren and Smith were also overwhelmed by the height of KT Hammons-Ha Yoon-ki.
KT, which led 54-40 in the first half, marked Lahren intensively. If Larren caught the ball under the basket, he used a double-triple team suffocation defense tactic. KT widened the gap to 76-60 with Huh Hoon's outer shot and seasoned reading.
Sono, whose Kembao exploded, caught DB 86-82.
From the beginning, Kembao's three-point game exploded. DB showed lethargy due to inefficient attacks. Sono's lead was 50-29 in the first half, by a whopping 21 points.
DB launched a strong chase in the second half as Lee Kwan-hee exploded. They trailed by two points at the end of the fourth quarter. However, Albano's undue breakthrough made a mistake. Albano strongly protested the foul and again, fouling Sono's ensuing attack. He was sent off with a technical foul. Eventually, the pursuit of DB was lost here. The KBL referee team 'There was no contact that could be considered a foul during Albano's last-minute breakthrough. Jung Hee-jae was guarding his arm in a normal cylinder, and Albano spilled his ball as he came into contact with him, he explained. Eventually, Albano's unreasonable breakthrough and the subsequent violent protests caused DB to self-destruct.
Sono started the game by losing 11 wins and 24 losses, narrowing the gap with Samsung by 0.5 games. DB remained in sixth place with 16 wins and 20 losses. However, there is no difference from KCC in seventh place.
