The men’s professional basketball will start playing’Spring Basketball’ from the 10th after the game on the last day of the regular league on the 6th.
The semi-final playoffs (5 matches, 3 best matches) were all confirmed. 4th place Goyang Orion and 5th place Incheon E-Land will meet from the 10th, 3rd place Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation and 6th place Busan KT from the 11th. The team that won the confrontation between Orion and E-Land will face Jeonju KCC, which is the first place in the regular league, and the winners of KGC Ginseng Corporation and KT, will face second place Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in the semifinal playoffs respectively.
The match between KGC Ginseng Corporation and KT in the semifinals is expected to be a close match. Both teams played 6 times in the regular league and played overtime 4 times. This is the first time in the history of the KBL (Korean Basketball Federation) that four overtime matches between teams in one season. That’s why every game played a dramatic game. Both teams also scored 90.5 points on average and played hot offense basketball.
KGC Ginseng Corporation director Kim Seung-gi declared, “I feel like (KT) chose us at the last minute, but I want to show that I chose it wrong.” KT fell from fourth to sixth at the last minute and was suspicious of this, but KT coach Seo Dong-cheol said, “I have confidence in any team against the semifinals. It is an urgent need to recover our performance.”
KT is looking forward to Point Guard Heo Hoon. Heo Hoon played 40 minutes and 17 seconds in the regular season KGC Ginseng Construction, with an average of 23.2 points and a 52.6% field goal success. If the other party blocks Heo-hoon intensively, there may be opportunities for Yang Hong-seok and Kim Young-hwan. Coach Seung-gi Kim emphasized, “There are injuries in the regular league, so there is a mismatch between Yang Hong-seok and Kim Young-hwan, and now there is Yang Hee-jong, so that’s not the case.”
On the other hand, KGC Ginseng Corporation believes in a new foreign player, Jared Sullinger. Sullinger was strong against KT with an average of 33 points and 15 rebounds.

Another six-final matchup between Orion and E-Land is also expected to be a close match. In the regular league, Orion was ahead with 4 wins and 2 losses, but with the exception of the 6 rounds, it was a close match in every match so that wins and losses were divided by a single digit difference.
It is desperate for both teams to pass the first gateway. Orion coach Eul-joon Kang must overcome the disgrace that was weak in the semifinal playoffs, and E-Land Yoo Yoo-hoon must maximize his performance before the team is sold. Coach Eul-joon Kang said, “E-Land is a strong team both inside and outside, so we have no choice but to score goals through team play.” Director Yoo-Hoon Yoo said, “If you lose the 6th Gangseo, you should think that you are in the last place. I will prepare with desperate heart.”
For both teams, overcoming the injury variable is key. Orion’s forward Lee Seung-Hyun suffered a left ankle injury at the KGC Ginseng Project on the 4th, and it is unclear after being diagnosed for 2-4 weeks. E-Land also forward Lee Dae-heon suffered a muscle bruise on the knee at the LG War in Changwon on the 3rd.
