Finally, it's coming out. the most important part of the championship game. SK's jinx in the first quarter, which was particularly prominent in the semifinals, was the biggest variable in winning the championship.

SK and LG played the first round of the KCC Professional Basketball Championship (best of seven) in the 2024-2025 season at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 5th.

Before the game, SK manager Jeon Hee-chul said "There is a part where Jamil Warney loosens up." This is where it occurred. However, I will not do that in the Championship."




SK had too many early errors. LG continued its momentum. Two free throws by Maray's offensive rebound. They went ahead 5-0 with the score.

On the other hand, SK's attack did not go well. However, Choi Boo-kyung activated an unexpected outside shot. He hit a corner 3-pointer. Choi Boo-kyung, who has a short shooting distance as a big man. However, SK intentionally stretched to the corner. The intention was to secure Warney's breakthrough space under the basket.

The three points passed. From the side to the mid-jumper, it went off.




Yang Joon-seok's three-run shot went off for LG, but Ahn Young-joon's one-on-one match against Jung In-deok under the basket for SK. Mid-jumper success, Oh Se-geun's 3rd point also broke. 11-8, SK's lead.

Solidity is very important in the short term. LG did not falter. The defensive gap was still tight. Yang Joon-seok's layup shot after receiving Maray's screen. LG's proud 2-2 succeeded lightly.

Double team on the instantaneous wing. Steele was successful, Tamayo's fastball, and SK will crawl with 2:26 left in the first quarter??C. Instead of Warney, Isaiah Hicks, Oh Jae-hyun and Kim Tae-hoon came in. LG also changed to Monroe.




It was LG's weakness. SK has Hicks, who has elevated his condition, and Oh Jae-hyun, who still has a strong defense, but LG 2 option Monroe certainly lacked presence.
