Several KBL teams,‍ including Daegu Korea Gas ‌Corporation, are ⁢in Japan for their final ⁣training sessions ⁣ahead of the season opening.

The Gas Corporation⁢ will continue its practice match with B3 League Kagoshima Repnaise on⁢ September 11, followed by a match against Shimane Susano Magic of the B1 West Division, the highest league in Japanese ​professional basketball, on⁤ the 13th. The match against Shimane Susano Magic is scheduled to be ⁣broadcast live through the portal starting at 7:05 PM on Friday.

Japan is a popular destination for​ KBL teams during the off-season due to its high⁤ level of satisfaction in professional basketball infrastructure and ​the‌ number of​ teams. The country has 24 teams in the B1 League, 14 teams in the B2 League,⁤ and 16 teams in the B3 League, providing numerous opportunities for practice matches.

Although it ⁣is challenging ​to ⁤match up ⁤with‌ teams from the B1 division for practice matches, it⁣ is ⁢relatively easy to play against teams from the second and third divisions. The gas company will continue its final ⁣training​ in Japan for two consecutive years starting in 2023.

In the​ 2023 ‍Japan training camp, the ⁢Gas Corporation played 5 practice matches, 4 of which were held behind closed doors. In ​the match‍ against the B1 team Saga Balloonus, which was ⁤played openly with spectators, the⁣ Gas Corporation lost 83-88 after a close match.

This spring training will begin with three matches against teams from the second division, ⁤followed by ‌two matches ⁣against B3 and one match against a B1‍ team. The gas company will conclude its 12-day spring training by returning to ‍Korea on the 15th.
