LG and semifinal PO 5th game 75-65
Bath 40-point one-man show stand-in role
Clash with KCC in the championship game on the 27th
In an important game, the presence or absence of an ace who can save the team from danger made the difference. Suwon KT, a professional basketball team, produced a huge comeback thanks to the outstanding performance of Paris Bass (pictured), beating Changwon LG and advancing to the championship game (4 wins out of 7). The first-ever championship match between KBL’s most popular stars, brothers Heo Woong of Busan KCC and Heo Hoon of KT, was held.
KT won 75-65 in the 5th game against LG in the 2023-2024 season professional basketball semifinal playoffs (PO, 3 wins out of 5) held at Changwon Gymnasium on the 24th. With this, KT, with a series record of 3 wins and 2 losses, advanced to the team’s second championship in 17 years since the 2006-2007 season. KT, which has never lifted a trophy yet, is aiming for its first win since its founding.
On this day, KT gave up the momentum by being down 30-40 in the first half. However, in the third quarter, Bass woke up and created a comeback drama. While LG scored only 14 points in the third quarter with frequent mistakes, KT scored 27 points, including 16 by Bass, and succeeded in turning the score around 57-54. KT, led by Bath’s consecutive scores in the 4th quarter, cheered by winning the final PO match of the semifinals with a score of 75-65.
Bass showed off his ace skills by scoring a whopping 40 points (13 rebounds). On the other hand, LG was disappointed that foreign center Assem Marey, who did not receive help from his teammates, was tied up with 4 points.
KT will face off against ‘super team’ KCC, who previously overwhelmed Wonju DB, first place in the regular league, with 3 wins and 1 loss, for the championship trophy. The first game will be held at KT’s home on the 27th. The ‘Heo Brothers’, Heo Woong and Heo Hoon, the ace guards of KCC and KT, compete in a battle of pride for their first championship ring.
