Game 5 ‘Last Match’ Changwon LG vs Suwon KT
Game 5 ‘Last Match’ LG vs KT… KCC is 'Relaxed'
The team that played until the 5th game of the semifinals has a 28.6% chance of winning the championship.
Changwon LG and Suwon KT, who are competing in the professional basketball semifinal playoffs (PO), will play the 'last game' of the 5th game at Changwon Gymnasium in Gyeongnam at 7 pm on the 24th.
The two teams' semifinal POs are tightly contested with 2 wins and 2 losses, with LG taking the 1st and 3rd games and KT taking the 2nd and 4th games. 온라인카지노
Looking at the flow until the 4th game, it was expected that LG, who dominated the 1st game, would have an advantage in the 2nd game held at home, but KT changed the mood with a 20-point victory in the 2nd game.
Conversely, in the 3rd game, KT took the lead throughout the game, but lost 4 points.
LG, who started chasing at the end of the quarter, won with Yoon Won-sang's 3-pointer to end the comeback.
In the 4th game, KT's main gun Paris Bass, who was pushed to the edge, committed 3 fouls in the first quarter, and the mood seemed to be shifting to Changwon LG, but in the end, KT won 89-80, resulting in a result that overturned expectations at every turn, making the 5th game even more exciting.
There is a high possibility that an unpredictable and close match will unfold.
LG Yang Hong-seok and KT Heo Hoon, who were relatively quiet in games 1 to 3, came back to life scoring 18 points each in game 4, raising expectations for game 5.
KT coach Song Young-jin said, "Heo Hoon slightly injured his ankle in Game 4, but he is a player with a greater passion for winning than his injury, so he will show a good performance in Game 5 as well," and LG coach Jo Sang-hyun said, "Jung Hee-jae has a bad back, but he will be able to play well in Game 5."
“To ease Yang Hong-seok’s burden on Paris Bass defense, we need to use him as much as possible,” he said, contemplating ways to ease Yang Hong-seok’s defensive burden.
On the other hand, LG's Lee Jae-do and KT's Moon Seong-gon's performance in Game 4 is somewhat disappointing.
Jae-do Lee only made 1 of 9 3-pointers, and Seong-gon Moon, who hit 8 3-pointers in the 2nd and 3rd games, was held scoreless in the 4th game.
Coach Cho Sang-hyun said of Lee Jae-do, “Because he is a very important player, he will play with more responsibility in Game 5.”
Moon Seong-gon's main task is defense and other unpleasant matters, but KT can have a much more comfortable game if he instills vitality from the outside like in the 2nd and 3rd games.
Option 2' How foreign players Dante Cunningham of LG and Michael Eric of KT fill the 10 minutes or so is also an important variable.
While 2nd place LG and 3rd place KT in the regular league are engaged in a 'bloody battle' in the 5th game, 5th place Busan KCC, which advanced to the championship game first, is in a relatively relaxed position.
KCC, which confirmed its advancement to the championship game on the 21st, has relatively ample time until the first game of the championship game on the 27th, but LG and KT, no matter who advances, will have to rest only two days on the 25th and 26th and play the first game on the 27th in the daytime.
In particular, LG and KT are one of the three teams among the 10 professional basketball teams that have not won the championship game, so their desperation for the final game of the semifinals is bound to be great.
Other than these two teams, Daegu Korea Gas Corporation has no experience winning the championship game.
In professional basketball, which was launched in 1997, there have been 9 cases where the semifinals went all the way to the 5th game, and among them, there were 4 cases where the team won the championship game.
However, in the 2001-2002 season and the 2014-2015 season, both semifinal matchups went to the 5th game, so it can be said that the team actually won the game 2 out of 7 times (28.6%) by overcoming the disadvantage of the 5th game.
In the 2008-2009 season, KCC reached the top after a physical battle by playing all 5 games of the semifinals and semifinals, and even the final 7th game of the championship game.
In the 2002-2003 season, TG also played up to the 5th game of the semifinals and finished first with 3 wins.
They defeated Dongyang, who were in the semifinals, in the championship game.
In the three recent cases of the 5th round of the semifinals, Dongbu in the 2014-2015 season, Samsung in the 2016-2017 season, and KCC in the 2020-2021 season all finished runner-up in the championship match.
Among them, Dongbu and Busan KCC were defeated 0-4 in the championship match.
