SK, who is a successful contender, won 6866 in the lead in the articles of association, and won the battle again…Jeong Kwan-jang's first consecutive defeat of the season, SK, and second consecutive win of the season

Nov 07, 2025

Seoul SK succeeded in winning its second consecutive game of the season, holding back the leader Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang.

On the 7th, SK won 68 to 66 in an away game against LG Electronics' professional basketball team head Jung Kwan-jang at Jeong Kwan-jang Arena in Anyang.

SK, which won its second consecutive game of the season, rose to sixth place with six wins and seven losses, a half-game gap with sixth-place Samsung and Ulsan Hyundai Mobis. On the other hand, Jeong Kwan-jang lost his first consecutive game of the season, falling to second place by a half-game gap with Changwon LG.

It's a match between losing the season in a row or winning the game in a row. Co-leader Jeong Kwan-jang has never lost in a row this season. He was on the verge of losing back-to-back games again after losing the previous game against the lower team Seoul Samsung. He was the only team to face off against Samsung in this season to lose all of its nine teams.

SK has never won consecutive games since its second consecutive season opener. Choi Jun-yong, who returned from injury on the 4th, was about to win back-to-back games with a thrilling victory over Busan KCC.

On top of that, 'Injury Returner Issue' was also a common concern between the two teams. In Jeonggwanjang, shooter Jeon Sung-hyun, who will make his season debut, participated for the first time, and in SK, Ahn Young-joon returned after overcoming a calf injury. Jung Kwan-jang, who led the way even without Jeon Sung-hyun, was in an atmosphere of gaining 'Cheongunmanma', and SK, which saw the effect of returning to Jamil Warney's injury in the last KCC match, was reliable for Ahn Young-joon to join despite Oh Jae-hyun's injury departure.

However, there was virtually no effect of returning the injured in the match between the two teams on this day. It was like 'the best match at the end of the graduation battle'. The first quarter was Jeong Kwan-jang's poor performance. Although he showed his unique strong defense, SK's defensive response was also not easy. Rather, Jeong Kwan-jang had a severe bone drought. '1 Option' mercenary Johnny O'Brient, ace Byun Jun-hyung's shot balance was rarely seen. After exchanging early skits with each other, a full-fledged war seemed to unfold, starting with SK Kim Nak-hyun's middle shot becoming the first goal, but Jeong Kwan-jang was sluggish throughout. Jeong Kwan-jang, whose field goal success rate was only 17% in the first quarter, had no choice but to give up the first quarter with a 9-20 complete defeat. Jeon Sung-hyun, who returned, had to take advantage of the shooter's strengths, but he couldn't space himself, and his teammates couldn't even use a pattern to create Jeon Sung-hyun's shot chance. In the end, Jeon Sung-hyun was replaced in about five minutes without providing much help in attack and defense. The game flow in the 'graduation' was 'inducing the answer'. The game time only stretched as the two teams used two 'coach challenge' each.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who was humiliated in the first quarter, seemed to be greatly stimulated, creating a counterattack in the second quarter. 'Joljeon' has spread to SK like an epidemic. SK's energy level plunged strangely in the second quarter, and its shooting success rate fell to 17%, just like Jeong Kwan-jang in the first quarter. It was the same as the articles of association that did not see the effect of Ahn Young-joon's return here. Ahn Young-joon failed to help by committing a series of unnecessary fouls such as U-foul at a time when he lost the lead to the articles of association.

In the meantime, Jeong Kwan-jang succeeded in the chase by showing a shameful performance of 'Best 5' with the so-called 'B Team' such as Bryce Washington, Park Jung-woong, and Lens Abando. In the first half of 33-28, Jeong Kwan-jang's reversal lead was a natural result.

A tight race began in the third quarter. SK made a good save first. Ahn Young-joon, who finally regained his sense of the game, took the lead with a series of successful attacks, including one 3-pointer, and Warney collaborated and succeeded in turning the tables 46-44 in about five minutes. The articles of association were not just being punished. Jeong Kwan-jang, who put Washington back in place of O'Brien, turned it over again with Kim Kyung-won's three-point score, Byun Joon-hyung and Washington, and succeeded in finishing the third quarter with a 54-52 lead.

The close game continued in the fourth quarter of fate. When SK tried to write a reversal drama, Jeong Kwan-jang continued to run away. In a series of tensions, the sub-bando flew up. Five minutes and 17 seconds before the end of the game, which was leading 60-58, Abando, who blocked Ahn Young-joon's solo layup with a formidable elasticity, scored a three-run shot in the ensuing attack. Then, 2 minutes and 34 seconds before the end, he caught an offensive rebound that served as a springboard for Park Jung-woong's three-point shot.

When Jeong Kwan-jang widened the gap to 66-60, Warney responded with a three-point shot again, and Ahn Young-joon added two free throws for team foul, chasing again below the 65-66 chin.

Now with 1:41 left, Jung Kwan-jang's shot from Washington failed, while SK succeeded in a dramatic 67-66 comeback with Warney's floater 52.1 seconds before the end. SK seemed to be in crisis again as Kim Nak-hyun got a team foul free throw 15.8 seconds before the end and failed both, but took a breather by blocking Jeong Kwan-jang's attack. In the end, 4.5 seconds before the end of SK, Kim Nak-hyun, who induced Byun Joon-hyung's U-foul, made one of two free throws, and Jeong Kwan-jang intercepted SK's attack pass and launched the last attack, but he swallowed the anger with a failed shot.
