Pro basketball Changwon LG overpowered Suwon kt and continued their hopes of a ‘reversal victory’ in the regular league until the end of the season.
On the 25th, LG defeated kt 85-80 in the 2022-2023 SKT Adot Pro Basketball regular league away game held at Suwon kt Arena, Gyeonggi-do.
2nd place LG with 35 wins and 17 losses reduced the gap to Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation (36 wins and 16 losses), which had been in first place since the beginning of the season, to one game.
With two games left, there is only one scenario in which the rankings of the two teams change. LG’s succession, Ginseng Corporation’s defeat.
If Ginseng Corporation raises only one win and the number of multipliers is 37, LG will be pushed out of the points scored in the head-to-head match (3 wins, 3 losses), and Ginseng Corporation will rank higher.
Ginseng Corporation is facing a confrontation with 7th place Wonju DB at home on the 26th.
If it reverses dramatically, LG will win the regular league championship in 9 seasons after the 2013-2014 season.
At that time, Moon Tae-jong (retired), a shooter born to an American father and a Korean mother, was selected as the MVP of the regular league and led the club to its first ever regular league championship. 메이저놀이터
In the last 16 games, LG has 15 wins and 1 loss, and the gap with Seoul SK (34 wins, 18 losses), which is fiercely pursuing, has widened to 1 game again. The 2nd place receives the benefit of going directly to the 4th round PO without going through the 6th round playoff (PO).
On the other hand, the 8th place kt (20-32), who had no possibility of advancing to the PO in arithmetic terms, suffered 5 consecutive losses, widening the gap with DB (21-30).
KT needs to recapture even 7th place so that it can be expected even in ‘what if’. If 5th place Goyang Carrot (27-25) fails to pay the remaining KRW 1 billion in special membership fee, which is equivalent to joining KBL, by the 31st of this month, the ticket to PO will be returned to 7th place.
In LG, Lee Jae-do threw 10 shots until the 2nd quarter, hit 8 and exploded 20 points.
LG, who led 51-42 in the first half, gave the team a double-digit lead as Lee Jae-do scored 7 more points within 5 minutes of the start of the 3rd quarter.
However, in the 4th quarter, while tied at 7 points in 5 minutes, kt burst into 3 points and 3 rooms and caught up with 15 points, and a close match unfolded at the last minute.
The player who came out as LG’s solver was Assem Marey. Maray, who suppressed kt’s pursuit by winning three offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter, connected Lee Kwan-hee’s 3-point miss 2 minutes and 36 seconds before the end of the game with a footback score to create an 8-point gap.
1 minute and 30 seconds before the end, Lee Kwan-hee assisted Lee Kwan-hee’s fast break with a quick pass after rebounding, and the game was closed.
Carrot won 88-66 on the road, driving the lowest ranked Seoul Samsung (13-39) to a 6-game losing streak.
Lawson, who injured his ankle in the match against kt on the 13th, returned, and Carrot escaped his three-game losing streak with a clear victory ahead of the PO.
However, it is not yet a ‘complete’ power as the main player Jeon Seong-hyun is currently absent after announcing that he was diagnosed with a damaged cochlea.
Lawson exploded with 33 points and 10 rebounds, and Lee Jung-hyun also recorded 19 points and 6 assists while crossing the inside and outside. Kim Gang-seon and Kim Jin-yong also added 13 and 11 points each, contributing to a 22-point victory.
