Andrew Nicholson, the core of the team’s history and scorer, was missing, but Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, which showed its concentration in the second half of the game, succeeded in escaping three consecutive losses by holding Anyang’s head of the articles of association.
Korea Gas Corporation, which had a 3-2 advantage over the head of the articles of association in the season’s opponent record, has lost to the head of the articles of association by 11 points in three consecutive games since the third round. (3R 91-80, 4R 81-70, 5R 77-66)
In the 2023-24 professional basketball away game held at Anyang Gymnasium on the evening of the 15th, Korea Gas Corporation won 77-66 and drove Jeonggwanjang to eight consecutive losses.
In the beginning of the game, Gas Corporation, which played a difficult game against the opponent’s chief who showed his willingness to escape the losing streak, will start chasing Duvan Maxwell and Chabawi as they continue to score from the second quarter.
Park Bong-jin’s three points broke out at every appropriate point, and after overcoming the crisis, the Korea Gas Corporation kept its lead at the end of the third quarter and laughed in the battle to escape the losing streak.
Maxwell, who played the team’s longest 34 minutes in foul trouble, scored a “double double” with 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Lee Dae-heon showed stable performance with 16 points, the most in the team.
KGC, which took the lead by more than 10 points (37-26) in the rebound fight emphasized by head coach Kang Hyuk, made 12 3-pointers, three times more than its opponent, and secured a pleasant victory ahead of the break.
Korea Gas Corporation, which entered the break in seventh place with a slight gap between sixth and 6.5 games, recorded the players’ even performance as another achievement in the victory.
Coach Kang Hyuk, who was worried about injured players and overall physical decline, said, “I will come back in good form in March after giving enough rest,” revealing his plan to emphasize rebounds and defense to the end for the team’s winning rate.
KGC, which will take a break for about 15 days, will resume the league with an away game against Seoul SK on the 1st of next month.
