Director Moon Kyung-eun said, “Mineras’ shot touch and balance were so good, so there was a lot of anticipation.
There was a feeling that the timing of putting into the fourth quarter today was a bit late, but he did it well.
Mineras, who met after the game, said about the last scoring situation.
I was able to win because I was able to get into it well,” he said, “I am glad to have a chance.”
In particular, SK prevented the rise of the leader Jeonju KCC, which was aiming for 13 consecutive wins, and Hyundai Mobis, the second place Ulsan, who challenged 8 consecutive wins. It’s getting back.

Today, thanks to Choi Boo-kyung’s stills, the atmosphere was revived, and afterwards, it led to my winning shot.”
He emphasized, “It is very meaningful to defeat E-Land today in a game that is important to the competition for the last spot in the playoffs.”
