The `key player' of the day was definitely Warnie. Coach Jeon Hee-chul said, `We will increase the proportion of Warney's attacks. It's 'Wony, go'. Warnie will try to attack a lot. The ball has to go to Warney about five times at the beginning of the first quarter. This is because if the domestic player's shooting falls, it can shake the mentality. It is more convenient for other players to attack Warnie. He forewarned that he would make a terrible 'Wony Go \' Against this, KT manager Song Young-jin said, `I don't think we should focus on blocking Wony and not allow him to attack quickly. I think we need to stop it considering the opponent's switch defense, the double team, and so on in the offens."

Warney had 13 points-5 rebounds in the first quarter alone. SK led the first quarter 19-14.
SK continued its mood in the second quarter. A unique fastball has come to life. After inducing the opponent's mistake, he scored with his fast feet. The quick turnaround was a bonus.
