Jeong Kwan-jang succeeded in overturning, caught KCC, and became the sole leader...6057 wins, stops KCC from winning 5 times in a row and runs 3 times in a row



Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang won three consecutive games and became the sole leader.

Jeong Kwan-jang won 60-57 at home against KCC in the '2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball' held at Jeong Kwan-jang Arena in Anyang on the 22nd.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who won the most three consecutive games by the team in the season, lost KCC's sole lead with 6 wins and 2 losses, and KCC tied for second (5 wins and 2 losses).




It was the first real 'leading derby' this season. Depending on the results of the day, the lead position could change. The home team's Jeong Kwan-jang is a challenger to overturn. Jeong Kwan-jang, who is tied for second with 5 wins and 2 losses, could rise to a half-game lead if he wins over KCC, which is on a march to No. 1 (5 wins and 1 losses).

It's still in the first round, so it's not the stage to put meaning on the ranking fight, but it was necessary to keep the atmosphere alive by saying, `Play when the water comes in.' The lead fight alone is interesting, and there was something in common in the keyword 'rising trend'.

Jeong Kwan-jang tried to win the most three consecutive wins this season, and KCC was going to increase the record for the most consecutive wins this season to '5'. In particular, KCC's five consecutive wins are the first in five years since the 2020-2021 season (the most 12 consecutive wins in the season at the time) when it won the regular league.

In addition, the two teams are performing unexpectedly well amid the common difficulties of 'Core Power Injury Departure'. Jeong Kwan-jang is holding out for the first round without Park Ji-hoon and Jeon Sung-hyun even playing the season opener. It was nothing short of extraordinary that Jeong Kwan-jang, who was not even one of the favorites before the opening of the season, had already exceeded the 50% victory rate.

KCC also took the lead even though Choi Joon-yong was injured in the opening two games amid the long-term departure of top ace Huh Hoon. Although he is a strong favorite, it is more than expected to remain No. 1 in four consecutive wins. KCC coach Lee Sang-min also said, `When even Choi Jun-yong left, I thought it would be a relief to have a winning rate of 4-50% with the goal of the first round. "In other words, he exceeded his goal. "The strong attack card was missing, but thanks to Jang Jae-seok, Choi Jin-kwang, and Song Kyo-chang who made up for it in defense, " he said.

However, KCC, which had endured well thanks to the ever-changing world of competition, 'defense', was caught up by 'defense' on this day and struggled in the beginning. "I'll focus more on preventing Shaun Long and Song Kyo-chang from scoring."As coach Yoo Do-hoon said, Chung Kwan-jang players embarrassed KCC with a defense that seemed to suffocate the opponent from the first quarter.




KCC's scoring route using Long and Heo Woong Song Kyo-chang was rarely opened. On the other hand, Jeong Kwan-jang actually did well as he threw under the basket and in the middle line. Sixman Pyo Seung-bin's 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter was also hit, so there was nothing better.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who already overwhelmed by a double score gap (22-9) in the first quarter, continued to dominate in the second quarter. Instead of allowing only four runs in five minutes and 20 seconds of the quarter, he added four goals, including one three-point shot, and ran to the highest 18 points gap (31-13) of the day. In the meantime, KCC has effectively self-destructed this season's biggest weakness, including turnovers (No. 1 overall in the season). At the end of the first half with a 25-38 deficit, KCC had nine turnovers, three times more than Jeong Kwan-jang (3).

But it's not the 'super team' that's going to step down like this lethargic. KCC showed a thrilling buzzer beater at the end of the second quarter. In the attack that started with 1.9 seconds left, Heo Woong's long-range shot from the backcourt free throw zone passed through the rim. KCC, who saved the atmosphere with a phenomenal goal, began a fierce chase in the third quarter. Long and Song Kyo-chang, who had been 'open closure' until the first half, finally came to life, and they chased down to a six-point gap (36-42) in seven minutes as they returned to their defense.

However, KCC's fire fighting show did not exceed Jeong Kwan-jang's fighting spirit. Jeong Kwan-jang was chased by a one-point gap (58-57) at the end of the game, but he completed a flawless victory by sweating through defense until the end. KCC suffered Huh Woong's past turnovers 6.8 seconds before the end.
