In SK, Choi Jun-yong was absent again. It’s an injury. Before the game, KT coach Seo Dong-cheol said, “Choi Jun-yong’s absence is objectively a good thing for our team. I paid a lot of attention to how to block the 2-2 attack between Kim Seon-hyung and Jamil Warney and Warney’s scoring ability.”
SK coach Jeon Hee-cheol spoke in more detail. “Yang Hong-seok and Ha Yoon-ki are the key men. Ha Yun-ki scores points. It doesn’t seem like it will be easily controlled. Blocking Yang Hong-seok’s 2-on-2 attack is important. If Yang Hong-seok is blocked, something will come out.”
KT paid attention to Warney’s blockade. I used a strong double team. However, SK punished with 3 points.
Yang Hong-seok enjoys breaking through to the right. For this reason, the SK defenders chose a defense that opened up the left side. By the way, Yang Hong-seok succeeded in a clean left drive-in. However, KT’s early field goal rate was not good.
SK grabbed the rebound and made a strong transition. This part worked. Oh Jae-Hyun’s 3-store 2 room overlapped, 20-13, SK’s lead. At this time, KT’s quick attack came out. After Yang Hong-seok hit the ball, he passed it to Ha Yoon-gi under the goal. Ha Yun-ki put on a fake once and then took a shot under the goal lightly in front of Warney. One-two-punch Yang Hong-seok and Ha Yoon-ki’s talent and power of height that led KT this season were evident. However, KT’s 7 3-point shots in the 1st quarter all missed the rim. 안전놀이터
On the other hand, in the first quarter, SK’s Oh Jae-hyeon’s three unexpected 3-point shots exploded. In the end, contrary to expectations, the first quarter ended with 22-17, SK’s 5-point lead.
Even in the second quarter, KT was frustrated. Yang Hong-seok’s corner 3 store missed. For SK, Heo Il-young scored on a footback after an offensive rebound. After that, he succeeded in a neat mid jumper with a partial pattern.
In KT, Ha Yoon-ki and Choi Seong-mo were stealing from SK’s ‘handling’ with a simple attack. After Heo Il-young received the screen, he fired 3 runs. ‘Complete the 4-point play’ with a foul free throw. Operation time of KT.
