▲ Busan KCC’s Choi Jun-yong dribbles in the away game against Suwon KT in the third game of the 2023-24 professional basketball championship held at Suwon KT Arena on the 29th. Provided by KBL The winner of the 2nd game of the professional basketball championship game (4 wins out of 7) was decided in a battle in the atmosphere of the ‘3rd quarter promise’. The direction of the remaining series depends on the ‘scoring machine’ Bass Paris (Suwon KT) and the ‘versatile’ Choi Jun-yong (Busan KCC).
KT and KCC will move to the Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on May 1 and host the third game of the 2023-24 professional basketball championship. In the playoffs (3 wins out of 5), KCC was widely thought to have the upper hand after defeating regular season leader Wonju DB with 3 wins and 1 loss, but KT counterattacked with a dramatic come-from-behind r behind. win, leveling the series at 1-1.
The game was decided in the third quarter. KT defeated KCC 101-97 in the second game held at Suwon KT Arena on the 29th, and trailed by 9 points until the second quarter, but came back through ‘Bass Time’ in the second half. Bath, who were scoreless in the first half, started to explode at the start of the third quarter when they scored through Choi Jun-yong. Bass, who passed Laguna and threw the ball gently to the rim, added an accurate outside shot and scored 12 points in 3 minutes.
Then, Bass, who assisted Moon Seong-gon’s corner 3-pointer, scored by throwing the ball near the center line where the KT club logo was drawn. In the 20 minutes of the second half, Bath only scored 36 points. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin, with a bitter smile as if he was dumb, came Alize DeShawn Johnson, who scored 24 points in the second quarter, but could not catch up ▲ Suwon KT played Paris Bass in the 2023-24 championship game professional basketball held at Suwon KT Arena on the 29th In the 3rd home game against Busan KCC, he shoots with Choi Jun-yong in front of him. Provided by KBL The secret to bass success is physical stamina. With 7 minutes and 21 seconds left in the second quarter, KT coach Song Young-jin brought in Michael Eric to replace Bass, who had a tough time making field goals. Although Eric had a hard time defending Johnson, he moved diligently and stayed under the goal. Coach Song sent Bass out again 1 minute and 30 seconds after being replaced when KCC launched a zone defense targeting Eric in the second quarter of the first game on the 27th, but Bass lost stamina at the end of the game and lost.
However, there is a possibility that Ace Heo Hoon (22 points, 10 assists), who played the full 40 minutes of Game 2, could complain of physical strain in the second half of the series. After the game, Coach Song said, “It was an endless effort. “Heo Hoon’s playing time has increased as we mainly use players in good condition,” he said “Bath need to manage his stamina, but we intend to let domestic players continue to play until they indicate that they are having a hard time.”
On the other hand, KCC was disappointed by the poor performance of Choi Jun-yong (6 points, 8 assists). Choi Jun-yong, who was unable to stop the pass and lost momentum, wasted the opportunity with an unreasonable base when he was behind by 3 points a minute before the end of the game. In the first game, the performance that led the team to a 15-point run with a bold development and a no-look pass early in the third quarter was nowhere to be seen. KCC can also maintain its advantage if Choi Jun-yong shows his ruse in the first game after receiving a pass from La Gun-ah and scoring.
Coach Jeon Chang-jin said, “It was really a complete defeat. The players I trusted didn’t live up to expectations. “Heo Hoon played with great mental strength and we didn’t,” he said “The championship game became more fun. “I will show you the progress made in Busan,” he promised.
