Defending champion KCC, which broke its losing streak, is on the rise at home

Busan KCC Egis (3 wins, 8 losses), led by coach Lee Sang-min, finally broke out of the 7-game losing streak that had weighed on the team at the beginning of the season by winning 90-74 in the previous home game against Wonju DB. The biggest contributor to the rebound is definitely Louis King. In the DB match, King dominated the court with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, including 7 outside shots, and even completely recovered his concentration in the 3rd quarter, which was considered a chronic weakness. With Field Commander Heo Hoon's stable performance and even Sean Long under the goal having a height advantage, there is ample momentum for a home win streak.

Sono must endure the pressure of air superiority and external firepower

Coach Son Chang-hwan's Goyang Sono Sky Gunners (4 wins, 7 losses) are mired in three consecutive losses, including a 96-103 loss against Suwon KT. The most painful part is that key foreign big man Johnny O'Bryant left the lineup due to a back injury, putting a huge burden on the team in the battle for height under the goal and rebounds. However, the scoring sense of ace Lee Jeong-hyun, Scotty James (last 25 points) and Asian Quarterback Kevin Kempao (last 28 points) is still sharp. The key to escaping a losing streak is whether Sono can withstand KCC's offensive under goal with strong team cooperation defense and reduce turnovers in the game.
