SK Rent-A-Car, which was sluggish in the second round of the PBA team league, succeeded in reviving NH Nonghyup Card in the third round.

SK Rent-a-Car won the third round of the 'Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League 2025-2026" held for 9 days at the 'Koyang KINTEX PBA Stadium" in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do from the 14th to the 22nd. SK Rent-A-Car, which won the postseason and two rounds last season, showed off its potential by winning the third round this season.

SK Rent-A-Car, who started nervously with a set score of 3:4 against Harim in the first game of the third round, won all the games from the 2nd day against Huons to the final day against SY, winning 8-1 (23 points) to lift the trophy. SK Rent-A-Car has confirmed its advance to the postseason for the third time after Hana Card (winning the first round) and Welcome Savings Bank (winning the second round).

▶SK Rent-a-NH Nonghyup Card, which shook off the sluggishness in the second round

SK Rent-A-Car, which won the team league last season, was still considered a favorite in the first round, ranking second (6-3, 17 points) after Hana Card (7-2, 20 points), but was sluggish in the second round (4-5, 11 points). In the second round, Eddie Leffens (Belgium) held out, but it collapsed as the other players failed to use their strength. In particular, Hida Aurier (Japan) and Cho Ye-eun were sluggish and failed to win the game in which female players participated.

In the third round, SK Rent-A-Car changed completely. Kang Ji-eun, the team's 'Women's Ace', led the team with 11 wins and 7 losses (5 wins and 1 loss in singles, 6 wins and 6 losses in doubles). In particular, Kang Ji-eun made SK Rent-A-Car's victory with a dramatic come-from-behind victory with eight high runs in the fifth inning when she was trailing Hana Card 1-8 in the sixth set (women's singles) against Kim Ga-young on the eighth day of the third round.




On top of that, leader Kang Dong-gung also played 8-1 in the singles, and Hida and Cho Ye-eun, who were sluggish in the second round, participated in the second set (women's doubles) in the third round to overcome their weaknesses by combining 4 wins and 2 losses.

NH Nonghyup Card, which had an unexpected bottom in the second round, ranked second with 7 wins and 2 losses (19 points) in the third round. NH Nonghyup Card had only Mamin Gum (Vietnam) and Antonio Montes (Spain), who had more than 50% winning rate in the second round, and six players in the third round exceeded 50% winning rate.

In particular, Cho Jae-ho, who was sluggish with 3 wins and 13 losses in the second round, recovered his skills with 11 wins and 5 losses in the third round, while Mamin Gum tied for first place in the third round with 12 wins and 5 losses.




▶ Various records related to perfect Q were also poured out from 200 wins in the set

The main character is SK Rent-A-Car's Reputation. On the 16th, the refusals won 11-3 (5 innings) in the fifth set against David Zapata of Woori Financial Capital, who had 199 wins side by side, and achieved 200 wins in the set for the first time.

Since then, Woori Financial Capital's Zapata and Hana Card's Kim Ga-young have won in the first set (men's doubles) and Kim Ga-young has won in the second set, surpassing the 200th set.

In the third round, several records related to perfect Q were also poured out. Harim became the first team to achieve a perfect Q in a match against NH Nonghyup Card on the 16th, with Park Jung-hyun in the second set and Tran Deuk-min (Vietnam) in the seventh set. In addition, High1 Resort Lim Sung-kyun and Jeon Ji-woo played in the fourth set against SY on the 18th and NH Nonghyup Card on the 22nd, achieving two perfect cues in the second round for the first time.

The team league, which finished the third round, is scheduled to resume in mid-November. Prior to this, the PBA will hold the fifth tour of the season 'Crown Sea Pacific PBA-LPBA Championship 2025 Hangawi' at Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium' from the 26th.
