Doo Kyung-min lay-up success… Reversing in Orion
3rd place Orion has 1.5 matches against 2nd place

The professional basketball Wonju DB whistled three consecutive wins in four months.

In the 2020-21 regular season home game held at the Wonju Sports Complex on the 7th, the DB scored a 74-72 victory over Goyang Orion thanks to the final layup of Doo Kyung-min (11 points).

Foreign duo Justin Knox (18 points) and Yante Mayton (16 points, 13 rebounds) supported the victory. The DB, which escaped from the long last tunnel the day before, recorded 14 wins and 24 losses, running 3 consecutive wins in four months after the 3 consecutive wins that opened last October. 3rd place Orion, who lost 21 wins and 16 losses by failing to win in a row, widened the gap to 1.5 games from Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (23-15), who defeated Anyang KGC 100-82 on this day. KGC maintained fourth place with 20 wins and 17 losses.

The match between DB and Orion rose hot as the three-store battle between the two teams in the first half started in earnest in the third quarter. At first, Orion, with a high hit rate, gradually earned points. In the third quarter, Orion threw 5 and hit all, while DB threw 10 and made 4 successes (3 by Kim Hoon).

Kim Hoon and Lee Dae-sung exchanged three stores, and Orion took the lead at 58-51 when the third quarter was over. However, at the start of the fourth quarter, Maton and Doo Kyung-min opened three stores and led the DB into close battle. In particular, Doo Gyeong-min opened 3 stores again with 3 minutes and 22 seconds left at the end of the game and tied 69-69.

The DB, which took the lead since the beginning of the first quarter with Kim Jong-gyu’s free throw, split the game with a lay-up followed by Doo Kyung-min’s solo breakthrough 28 seconds before the end.

Orion collapsed as Lee Seung-hyun’s touch-out came out in the last attack. Doo Gyeong-min, who was blocked with three points until the third quarter, became the first contributor of victory by scoring eight points like Altoran only in the fourth quarter.
