Suwon KT's backside is scary. KT won the away game of the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball' against Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang on March 31, winning five consecutive games. With 32 wins and 19 losses, he tied with Changwon LG for second place. It contrasts with the fourth and fifth places in the fourth and fifth rounds.

In this season's attack index, KT remains at the bottom of the list. The success rate of two-point shots is 48.7 percent (10th), the success rate of three-point shots is 30.3 percent (8th), and the success rate of field goals is 41.2 percent (10th). Nevertheless, the key to KT's fight for second place is the amount of activity. You can see it by looking at the rebound, one of the indicators of activity in basketball. KT has averaged 38.4 rebounds in 51 league games this season. In particular, he is overwhelmingly No. 1 in this category with 13.1 offensive rebounds.

KT manager Song Young-jin seems to be overcoming the poor success rate with rebounds. That's why the day when the shot goes off is much easier. He has a lot of activity because he plays defense to help in every game. In the meantime, the defense is doing well, which has led to this situation. The players also know that we are a team that needs help. I think it's because I know we have to help each other."

KT's activity was evident in the game against Jeong Kwan-jang. KT had 15 rebounds in the second quarter to gain the upper hand under the basket. Thanks to this, KT led the game by widening the score gap to 25-12 in the second quarter. The problem was the afterthought. KT made mistakes in the fourth quarter in a row, giving the opponent the mood. He also allowed a tie with 1:31 left before the end of the game. It was the offensive rebound that saved KT in the moment of crisis. Fifteen seconds before the end of the fourth quarter, when they were leading 86-85, Rayson Hammonds grabbed the offensive rebound. Four seconds before the end of the game, Joel Cagoulan grabbed a defensive rebound and won the game.

After the game, coach Song said "I could not continue the good flow to the end and almost made a mistake because more mistakes came out than usual." Thank you to the players who overcame it to the end. "I thought it would be more advantageous for us to do bad things. In conclusion, I think the loose ball and the offensive rebound were the decisive factors."

Kagulang An also "The players seem to have a great desire to win. Veteran players keep asking them to do small things first. Thanks to that, we did 100 percent on the court, so we're like the No. 1 rebound."




KT will play Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (3rd), Daegu Korea Gas Corporation (5th), and Busan KCC (8th). Heo Hoon said, `Because of the competition with LG (second place), every game feels like a championship game. I will finish this season in second place" he said.
