With Huh Hoon's return, KCC became a whole body. However, the performance is not perfect yet.
The player's face is too powerful. Hurung is the best ball handler, and Hurung is the best shooter in the league. Choi Jun-yong and Song Kyo-chang are the best wingers in the league. Sean Long is also one of the best foreign players in the league.
Although the offensive aspect lacks organizational movement, it can be filled with one-on-one and instantaneous two-on-two. The problem is defense based on ability to play. And there can be a lot of errors in the structure, which is that the backcourt is slow.
Sono's big three chemistry of Lee Jung-hyun, Kevin Kembao and Jonathan Knight has recently been matching. It's powerful.
Sono immediately retaliated with a quick attack on KCC's error. He induced an error with strong pressure. 11-4, which is the key reason why he gained the upper hand in the early stages.
However, KCC also fought back with Choi Jun-yong's three-point and Song Kyo-chang's mid-jumper. He immediately pressed by two points. It was an unusual case of KCC's greatest strength and greatest weakness crossing at the beginning of the first quarter.
With 3:25 left in the first quarter, Sono's No. 1 rookie Kang Ji-hoon stepped on the court. However, Lee Jung-hyun's mistake. Kang Ji-hoon's position was wrong.
KCC showed the spicy taste of Jang Jae-seok 'pro'. He induced a foul by catching an offensive rebound, and made another foul with a one-on-one attack by a spin move. On the other hand, Kang Ji-hoon also missed the perfect alley-oop chance.
In the end, KCC turned the tables. However, Kang Ji-hoon blocked Sean Long's breakthrough under the basket. It showed the power of height.
Sono's Achilles tendon is a second unit. However, Johnson's quick-throw goal scored, red game's three-point lead again. In the end, 16-14, Sono ended with a two-point lead in the first quarter
Sean Long's quick layup shot in the second quarter failed. Sono punished Lee Jung-hyun with a three-point fastball. And Choi Jun-yong was shocked by his left leg during the rebound. First, replacement.
Choi Jun-yong fortunately returned to the court safely. By the way, KCC is late in the backcourt. Sono immediately punishes with a quick attack. Choi Jun-yong's three-point shot failed. Knight broke through Choi Jun-yong's mark and succeeded in breaking through the basket and even making a foul free throw.
When KCC's three-point run failed, Sono's quick attack and KCC's backcourt failed to keep up with Sono's speed again this time. Kembao's easy under-the-goal shot followed.
He held the lead by 36-25.9 points.
KCC's Operation Time. Sean Long's post-up turned around the pattern, which is the ultimate goal. However, he was stilled, and this time again Sono had Lee Jung-hyun's perfect open three-point run by early offens.
However, KCC also fought back with a swift attack. Song Kyo-chang's corner 3 points, Choi Joon-yong's solo fast attack, and Heo Woong's early 3 points broke out one after another. The 15-point gap quickly narrowed to seven points. However, Sono finished when Kembao hit an exquisite under-the-goal shot with a Eurostep. 46-37, ends first half with a nine-point lead by Sono.

Sono ace Lee Jung-hyun did not have a good shooting balance at the beginning of the season. The shooting balance was shaken due to weight loss due to knee injury and lack of power.
However, it seems to be coming back to life perfectly recently. As bold 3-pointers and breakthroughs return to track, the proportion of attacks is increasing. Lee Jung-hyun scored the first goal in the second half. After using the screen, a bold three-point game passed through the rim.
On the other hand, KCC's Huh Hoon was blocked by Cho Eun-hoo's tough defense. Sean Long tried to break through the post-up, but Knight's defense was formidable. Two mistakes in the end.
What was disappointing about Sono's attack was that Jung Hee-jae's three open points, which seemed to be reviving recently, turned away from the rim one after another. However, Lee Jung-hyun consistently scored points.
In particular, he completed a three-point play by obtaining a shot under the basket and a basket count with an exquisite Euro step after breaking through with 5:09 left in the third quarter. I picked up the game perfectly. 56-41, 15-point lead by Sono. KCC's Operation Time.
KCC has a bad news. Song Kyo-chang, one of KCC's aces, overlapped with Sean Long after the breakthrough, turning his right ankle in the landing process. I was helped off the court without walking properly. It became impossible for him to play on that day.
However, from then on, KCC players began to focus more. Choi Jun-yong's under-the-goal breakthrough, Sono's error, and Sean Long's offensive rebound led to a putback score. Chasing by nine points.
By the way, Jung Hee-jae's three-run shot went off. It was Jung Hee-jae, who had previously failed by throwing six three points. At a very important moment, a valuable cannon exploded.
At this time, another bad news occurred for KCC. With Lee Jung-hyun running out to catch the offensive rebound, it caught Heo Woong's foot. Hurung also limped as he was shocked by his left knee. Going to the bench. However, the degree of injury did not seem to be worse than Song Kyo-chang. Hurdle came back in the fourth quarter. Sono broke to Kembao's three-run mark. In the end, it ended in the third quarter with a lead of 64-52, 12-point Sono.
In the fourth quarter, Knight was excited during the under-the-goal tussle contest with Sean Long. Huh Hoon's under-the-goal breakthrough failed, but Knight touched the rim during the block shot. It was an unnecessary move. Declared goal-tending after a video review, a free-throw shot turned into a basket count. KCC's pursuit by nine points. The atmosphere was unusual. Sean Long tucks a footback dunk over the night. A seven-point gap.
However, Sono had Lee Jung-hyun. After using the screen twice, he stabbed KCC's weakness in defense. He succeeded in breaking through the basket and even got a foul. Biggest match, very important score, 3 point free throw success.
Since then, Sono has scored another three-point goal after an exquisite pass game, with Lee Jung-hyun reaching 73-60 and 13 points. The trend, which seemed to lean toward KCC, completely leaned toward Sono with Lee Jung-hyun's dominance.
KCC is close to Lee Jung-hyun. Then, Knight had a chance under the basket.
It was Lee Jung-hyun's solo performance. A superb step back mid-jumper on the side. When Hur Woong got close, he perfectly dug out the KCC defense with a split dribble that tore through the double team and gave Knight the perfect chance to enter the side cut-in, and Knight shook the rim with a dunk. The time left is 3 minutes and 32 seconds. 79-67, 12-point lead by Sono. The victory or defeat was virtually decided here.
Lee Jung-hyun was powerful. The pace came up perfectly. His unique scoring ability inside and outside, his technique of teasing defenders, and his scoring and passing ability using the screen. He dominated the game perfectly against the luxurious team KCC.
He proved to be the best ball handler with DB Lee Sun-bano at this point, completely overwhelming Huh Hun, who is not in perfect condition. In addition, Sono is creating a virtuous cycle structure in which the team's performance itself increases as Knight and Kembao create a chemical combination centered on Lee Jung-hyun. Sono is emerging as a powerful dark horse as expected.
KCC suffered Song Kyo-chang's ankle injury. KCC is basically strong. Not only the main players but also the backup is solid. With Huh Hoon and Choi Jun-yong joining, the objective power has become stronger. However, there is some regret in the performance.
For now, the safety work is not working properly. It allowed Sono a lot of quick attacks. The backcoat is not working properly. Heo Hoon and Choi Jun-yong are not 100% in physical condition yet. Overall team activity is poor. This part is turning out to be a weakness of safety. Even in the attack operation, breathing is still not complete. But they are so talented??This part of the door can be improved enough.
