‘Crisis Escape’ with 2nd place Hyundai Mobis also spread in 1.5 games
Jeonju, a professional basketball, KCC secured its sole lead as it emerged from the crisis of losing 3 consecutively.
KCC won a big win 91-66 against Goyang Orion in the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball regular league held at Jeonju Gymnasium in Jeonbuk on the 12th.
KCC, who lost in a row against Changwon LG on the 6th and kt in Busan on the 8th, escaped the losing streak at the sacrifice of Orion.
In particular, KCC won five matches against Orion this season, and if you add up to the last three face-to-face wins of last season, it showed a particularly strong aspect of winning eight games against Orion recently.
KCC recently lost their second straight, and before the match, foreign player Tyler Davis was diagnosed with a knee injury for 4 weeks due to a knee injury.
On the other hand, Orion is on the rise with a recent three consecutive wins, which was considered a good opportunity for Orion to break the chain of losing streaks against KCC.
However, in the KCC, Laguna scored 25 points and 13 rebounds alone, minimizing the Davis gap, and Song Gyo-chang (15 points) and Lee Jung-hyun (12 points) also worked hard in the attacks.
If KCC had lost that day, if Ulsan Hyundai Mobis, who was second in the match on the 13th, defeated Seoul Samsung, it was in danger of giving up a joint first place.
However, with a victory on this day, he sighed, widening the gap with 2nd place Hyundai Mobis to 1.5 games.
KCC, which was ahead of the first half by 44-33 and 11 points, quickly escaped by 17 points with Yoo Hyun-jun’s 3-point shot and Kim Sang-gyu’s 3-point play at the start of the second half.
It was a frustrating moment when Orion Kang Eul-jun called a time-out after 45 seconds from the start of the second half and took off his suit.
In the game, which took place up to 19 points, Orion pursued up to 10 points with 9 points in a row, including Choi Hyun-min’s three points in a row and Heo Il-young’s three points, but the gap did not narrow with a single digit afterwards.
Rather, at the end of the 4th quarter, the gap between the two teams was 20 points or more, and both teams were invited to the bench.
Heo Il-young scored 16 points for Orion, but foreign players such as Didrick Lawson (4 points) and Devin Williams (9 points) were far less powerful than KCC.
Foreign players scored only two points in the second half.
