Suwon KT, a professional basketball team, advanced to the championship game after defeating Changwon LG in the fifth round of the semifinal playoffs (best of five).
KT won 75-65 in the 5th game of the 2023-24 JeongKwanJang Professional Basketball Semifinal PO against LG held at Changwon Gymnasium on the 22nd.
KT was behind by 1 win and 2 losses until the 3rd game, but then won the 4th and 5th games and advanced to the championship game. It has been 17 years since the 2006-07 season that KT advanced to the championship game.
As a result, this season’s championship match was condensed into a match between Busan KCC and KT.
The match between brothers Heo Woong (KCC) and Heo Hoon (KT), sons of ‘basketball president’ Heo Jae and the best stars in professional basketball, also attracted attention. This is the first time the two brothers clash in the championship match.
The first round of the championship match will be held at Sajik Gymnasium at 2 p.m. on the 27th, and the best of 7 matches will begin.
The hero who gave KT victory that day was Paris Bass. Bath surged forward, scoring 40 points, including 16 in the third quarter, which was the deciding factor.
In the third quarter, when they were behind 30-40, KT came back from behind to win 57-54 thanks to Bass’s great performance. They maintained their lead well in the fourth quarter and achieved a thrilling come-from-behind victory.
LG, which was ahead 25-14 in the first quarter, had Yoo Yu-sang with 17 points and 5 rebounds, but Assem Marey had 4 points and 8 rebounds, and Justin Gutang had only 2 points and 3 rebounds, so they had no choice but to look for a comeback.
