The event was divided into Session 1 and Session 2.

In the KBL, SK, which ranks first in the regular league, comes first to the semifinals. Fourth place Suwon KT and fifth place Korea Gas Corporation will face off. The winner of the round of 6 will face SK in the round of 4.

All of them expected Game 4 for the prospects of the semifinal playoff. Coach Song said "I wanted to hold up 3, but I added one more game for courtesy" and Kang said "I'll finish at home after 1 win and 1 loss in the two away games."

Coach Jeon Hee-chul, who went straight to the semifinals, said, `It doesn't matter which team comes up. I did it until Game 5 and I'm jealous."

On the prospect of the 6th round, coach Song said, "(The opponent has good pressure, so we need to be seasoned to overcome it. Belangel must also be careful, but how much he stops Nicholson is important." Coach Kang said, `KT has a strong forward. The rebound fight is important."




Korea Gas Corporation will have two foreign players' options changed. Coach Kang said, `The 2nd option player (Mankok Matiang) will be changed. The new player has a similar style. He is an upgraded player. I don't think it's too much. His physical condition is the key. I think it will definitely help a lot."
