"It's right to challenge 0%."

This is what SK manager Jeon Hee-chul said.

Seoul SK won 54-51 in Game 6 of the championship decision (four wins out of seven) against Changwon LG at Changwon Sports Gunn on the 15th. SK challenges the '0'%' probability for the first time in KBL history. After three consecutive losses, he won three games in a row, turning his victory into an away game. The final match of fate will be held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 17th.




After the game, the former coach said, "I'm happy to win" and "It rained in Game 3." I lost helplessly because the game didn't work out that day. It rained again this time. I felt an ominous feeling, so I tried to shake it. I've just reversed my routine. I thought I shouldn't say it out loud," he said with a smile.

He said "Both teams seemed to play desperately. It was a mud fight. It's the first time I've seen players so tired in the second half. I could see too much exhaustion. He allowed many 3-pointers to his opponent in the second half of the transition game. I think we should be careful about Game 7. The opponent is a team that has shooting power. In attack, players seem to be in a hurry. I think there are too many mistakes that won't come out."

3 wins and 3 losses. Now it all depends on the last game. Jeon said, "(Reverse sweep) There are no cases, so it is right to challenge 0%. However, if you look at the game against LG, you will find that the victory in Game 4 was a turning point. I was depressed and could not get a good performance. But I saw him shake it all off. We are right to challenge 0% statistically. Rather than setting a record... Since I've laid a foothold, I said let's do well at home to the champion, which is my goal. I trust the players and go. I believe he will do well in Game 7 as well."




Coach Jeon has the experience of winning with four consecutive wins after losing two games as a coach. He said "Basketball is one of the unexpected events. Games 1 to 3 were not SK's performance. I thought it would be possible if the performance was revived. It's a battle of momentum. He didn't look good until the third game, but he made it 3 wins and 3 losses because he found his performance. It seems important to inspire confidence. I did what I was supposed to do. I used more concentration and strength there. I think I've come up with a good performance in Game 7."
