A great chase. And a dramatic reversal came out.
Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation beat Seoul SK 86-77 in the 6th game of the 2022-2023 season SKT Adot Professional Basketball Championship held at Anyang Gymnasium at 6 pm on the 5th.
The series record is 3 wins and 3 losses. If they lost that day, KGC would have been the runner-up. He was truly a knight.
Oh Se-geun made a big success with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Daryl Monroe recorded 16 points and 5 rebounds. In particular, he took the lead in pursuing KGC in the 4th quarter and showed off his presence beyond Omari Spellman.
SK missed the game they thought they had it all. It’s more than 1 loss.
Jameel Warney contributed 31 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Kim Seon-hyung was sluggish than usual with 10 points and 6 assists.
Both teams saw the winner as early in the game. KGC coach Kim Sang-sik said, “I told the players to push from the beginning no matter what lineup they come out with, and to pour in from the first quarter.”
SK coach Jeon Hee-chul predicted, “Today (5th), the early fight is important. KGC will push in a lot.”
No one took the 1st quarter. It was tight at 22-22.
They had income from each other. In KGC, all 3 stores of Spellman, Moon Seong-gon, and Byun Jun-hyung exploded.
SK used an irregular lineup for three consecutive games. I was excluded from the selection for the sake of Kim Seon-hyung’s physical strength, but I didn’t feel the difference in weight class. In particular, Warney’s shot was hot.
In the 2nd quarter, SK took a slight lead. KGC showed strength in the section where Spellman, Byun Jun-hyung, and Oh Se-geun were subtracted at the same time. At 46-43, the difference was not significant.
SK took control of the 3rd quarter. Even if the shot failed, Warney and Choi Boo-kyung scored an offensive rebound followed by a putback score. The score was 60-47 in the middle of the third quarter, and manager Jeon Hee-cheol raised his fist.크크크벳
Manager Kim Sang-sik tried to cut it off with a timeout, but the gap widened further after that.
KGC did not give up. In the fourth quarter, the great chase began. Increasing the input time of Monroe had an effect. Monroe was the control tower. He led the team in offensive rebounding, scoring, and passing.
Gearco KGC turned the game around. It was a turnaround by 15 points. The defense continued to succeed, and Byun Jun-hyung and Oh Se-geun’s 3-point shot burst. Anyang Gymnasium was shaken by the shouts of KGC home fans.
Monroe’s 3-point shot 1 minute and 30 seconds before the end of the game was a wedge. KGC ran away with an 8-point lead and seized the victory.
