Heo Woong and Choi Jun-yong combined for 26 points…

 

KCC defeated Ulsan Hyundai Mobis 81-76 in the final of the tournament held at Wolmyeong Gymnasium in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do on the 15th and lifted the championship cup. With the even performance of new players Choi Jun-yong, Lee Ho-hyun, and Johnson in each game, they overwhelmed their rivals and proved their credentials as a contender for the championship.

Johnson, who scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, the most in the team, was honored as MVP by setting a new record of 40 points, the most in a single game, in the semifinals against Busan KT the previous day. Heo Woong had 15 points and 5 assists, and Choi Jun-yong also had 11 points and 4 rebounds.

KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin said after the game, “I wanted to show the Busan fans that we work hard. “I am proud of the players who played back-to-back games in less than 24 hours,” he said, but added, “The issue of La Gun-ah and Lee Seung-hyun, who returned from the national team, not being able to play their roles in offense and defense needs to be resolved.”

Hyundai Mobis, who advanced to the finals by defeating the championship candidate SK, lost in the battle of concentration. Gage Prim scored 20 points, but had only one rebound and received a technical foul for his excessive celebration during the game. Lee Woo-seok also contributed with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but both players were silent in the fourth quarter and could not prevent the team from losing.

Hyundai Mobis coach Cho Dong-hyun said, “The downside is that we cannot break the flow when the score gap is wide,” and emphasized, “Lee Woo-seok and Seo Myung-jin need to quickly integrate into the team.”

KCC opened the first quarter with Choi Jun-yong's spin move score, and Lee Seung-hyun, who received Heo Woong's pass, added to the score. As Hyundai Mobis took the lead with Prim under the goal and Lee Woo-seok leading the attack from the outside, KCC tried to turn things around by putting in Laguna, but they were unable to stop Lee Woo-seok and fell behind by 20 points.

KCC narrowed the gap to 3 points in 3 minutes and 20 seconds in the second quarter thanks to outside shots from Geun-Hwi Lee and Jun-Yong Choi. Even though Choi Jun-yong was out due to muscle cramps, Lee Geun-hwi and Johnson scored to turn the game around. Hyundai Mobis counterattacked with Prim's control under the goal, and KCC Johnson responded with a 3-point shot, ending the first half with the score tied at 52-52.

The second half was tense. For Hyundai Mobis, Prim made an error after being embarrassed by a double team, but Kebe Aluma scored by using an active offensive rebound. KCC caught up with Heo Woong's outside shot and assist, but made a mistake at the end of the third quarter and fell behind by 2 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Heo Woong and Aluma exchanged scores, both teams struggled with the pressure of the opponent and fell into a lull for nearly 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Heo Woong, who came forward as the solution, broke the silence, and even scored a layup shot that Choi Jun-yong ran away from on a fast break. Then, Choi Jun-yong recorded a decisive rebound and interception, and KCC crossed the 9th division ridge of victory. Hyundai Mobis also chased with Aluma's 3-point shot, but lost consecutive goals to Ho-Hyun Lee and Johnson.
