Game 5 was a hot defensive battle.
SK used the 3-2 regional defense, which was very effective against KGC in the 4th game, on this day as well. As in the previous game, the starting best 5 were replaced by six-man defensive resources. Kim Seon-hyeong, Heo Il-young, and Jameel Warney, who saved their stamina, were put in in the middle of the first quarter. Those who saved their stamina were excited about the attack in the second quarter.
On the other hand, KGC continued to shoot, scoring only 5 points in the 2nd quarter. The first half ended with SK leading by 13 points at 41-28.
The atmosphere changed from the third quarter. KGC showed a defense that seemed to completely block the paint zone to block SK’s Kim Seon-hyeong and Warney’s plotter attacks. It was a pressure defense that surrounded up to three people in an instant when SK dug into the bottom of the goal.
SK failed to score consecutively, and fired 3-point shots with low probability. With 5 minutes and 45 seconds left at the end of the 3rd quarter, KGC succeeded in a 44-43 turnaround with Lens Abando’s dunk shot. The big score difference was overturned in about 5 minutes with defense and fast attack.
The close game continued until the middle of the 4th quarter. It was SK’s quick attack at 4 minutes and 11 seconds from the end that the atmosphere shifted to SK. After SK Oh Jae-hyeon grabbed a defensive rebound, he saw Kim Seon-hyung running out and threw an outlet pass. Seonhyung Kim, who caught it, finished the layup safely, and SK overturned the score to 60-58. 바카라사이트
