SK manager Jeon Hee-chul's concerns have become a reality. Seoul SK will play Suwon KT on the 29th at Suwon KT Arena in the fourth round of the semifinal playoff of the '2024-2025 KCC Professional Basketball'. SK won both the first and second games at home, gaining an advantage in advancing to the championship game. However, the team lost 64:77 in the third round away to Suwon on the 27th.
It was a painful defeat for SK. On this day, SK lost the first half to 28-45. In addition to scoring, they lost to KT in overall indicators such as rebound (12-19), assist (7-11), and 3-point shooting success rate (20%-38%). While Heo Hoon was away in the fourth quarter 'KT Ace', he chased, but it was not easy to turn the game around.
After the game, Jeon said, `I'm not ready yet. The players' condition was strangely down. I wasn't in a good condition. I hope he finds his condition well,' he said, adding that he played an unwinnable game. KT has shown its ability to take various options. They gave various options using Joel Cagoulan and Huh Hoon. We (shooting) didn't go in too much as a whole."
Above all, he strongly pointed out the mental strength of the main players. Coach Jeon said "It's Warnie and Kim Sun-hyung and Ahn Young-joon who are at the center of the team. It failed to do so. It's important to play with the team at the center. In this game, Warnie was also annoyed and overall was not good.' Regarding the part that brought most of the key players to the bench in the fourth quarter, he also felt that playing more would ruin his condition. So I excluded the main players", he explained. In fact, Kim Sun-hyung, Ahn Young-joon, and Choi Won-hyuk did not step on the court in the fourth quarter.
Coach Jeon said, `I don't think I can elaborate on whose fault it is. After the first half, he said to the players 'I'm not that angry'. I expected it to be different from the second game, but the movement was not good after the play. It was okay in the defense of the first and second games, but the defense also had problems in the third game. There is a part that the opponent has changed tactically. I think we need to prepare well.' On the day, Warney had 19 points-15 rebounds in 33 minutes and 59 seconds. Ahn Young-joon scored 2 points in 24 minutes and 2 seconds, and Kim Sun-hyung only scored 5 points in 19 minutes and 24 seconds.
