"We have to focus on preventing Jamil Warnie."

This is what Song Young-jin, manager of Suwon KT, said.

Suwon KT will play the fourth round of the semifinal playoff (PO, best out of five) against Seoul SK at Suwon KT Sonicboom Arena on the 29th. KT lost both the first and second games on the road and was pushed to the edge of the cliff. He continued his hope by winning Game 3 at home.

Director Song, who is about to face a showdown, said, `I don't think we should allow quick attacks by intensively blocking our opponent Jamil Warney. I think we need to stop it considering the opponent's switch defense, the double team, and so on in the offens."

KT finished the regular league in fourth place. He is physically struggling as he plays Game 5 against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation in the round of 6 PO. Director Song "I'm taking a lot of rest. They are talking while communicating with each other. His physical strength was very tight in the regular league and in the semi-finals. That's the case with the season and the fourth intensity. It's not too bad for that, but I think it needs management."

KT will go first as Joel Cagoulangan, Huh Hoon, Moon Jung-hyun, Ha Yoon-ki and Ration Hammonds. Director Song said, "It goes similar to the third game. The opponent made a change because he was well prepared for the Heo Hoon pick game. There is a good part. That doesn't mean Heo Hoon doesn't play pick games. I think we need to prepare for switch defense, etc"There was no significant change in the first and second games. I think we needed a period of adaptation because that defense was a defense we didn't play in the league. I think the players got hit in that part. I think it's what I saw. There is a little bit of modification."

Against this backdrop, SK manager Jeon Hee-chul said, "(It was the worst game in the last game. I watched the video clip, but it was the worst game." There is also a saying that there is a discord within the team. That's really not it. As we twisted about the game, we got such a problem"He said the results would tell the players. Regardless of winning or losing, we said, "Let's play basketball that we're good at."

SK set up a starting lineup with Kim Sun-hyung, Choi Won-hyuk, Ahn Young-joon, Kim Hyung-bin and Warnie. Jeon said, "The performance of Game 3 was really not good. I played a difficult game and was beaten badly. We're running out of shots right now. Then it will be difficult. Overall, the shooting condition is not good. It will increase the proportion of Warney attacks. It's "Wony Go". This is because if the domestic player's shooting falls, it can shake the mentality. Warnie's attack is more comfortable for the players. I'm going to do a bad job of 'Wony Go.'"

SK's Oh Se-geun was completely excluded due to an injury. Coach Jeon said "Oh Se-geun can't play. The bone has been fractured. What to do. If you don't have pain, you can endure it, but you can't because you have pain.'
