I survived from the edge of a cliff. KGC dramatically drove the champ series to the 7th game with a 15-point gap.
Anyang KGC defeated Seoul SK 86-77 in Game 6 of the 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Pro Basketball Championship (Best of 7) held at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium on the 5th.
KGC, ㅋㅋㅋ벳which was behind by 15 points in the 3rd quarter, revived its knights by unfolding a counter electrode in the 4th quarter.
Oh Se-geun scored 18 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Daryl Monroe, who played the role of a solver in the 4th quarter, focused on 16 points and 6 rebounds while running for 17 minutes and 32 seconds. In SK, Jamil Warney scored 31 points, but Kim Sun-hyung only scored 10 points.
The game has completely changed. KGC, which was heavily defeated, made up for the bad atmosphere in the 4th and 5th games at once by unfolding a counter electrode in the 4th quarter. On the other hand, SK, with the championship ring in front of their eyes, had to promise the 7th game with a painful come-from-behind defeat.
took the 4th and 5th rounds of Warney. There were two key changes. In the 1st quarter, a large number of bench members were put in. The side effect of Kim Seon-hyeong and Warney’s ‘Molppang Basketball’ is the physical burden. It was to prevent this part and maximize the utilization of the one-two punch.
The second was area defense. In Game 3, the 3-2 Drop Zone (a variation of the 3-2 Zone Defense. The defense in which the top player moves back and forth between high and low), the 3-2 Matchup Zone (3-2 Zone Defense, A variation of shuffling 1v1 matchups from moment to moment) was used.
On this day, SK’s Kim Seon-hyeong started from the bench. However, Warney came out as a starter. It was an arrangement to secure a central point in the attack and not give up the flow of the first quarter.
KGC had a lot of 3-point shots in the first quarter. Moon Seong-gon, who was sluggish in the 5th game, put in 3 stores, and Spellman and Byun Jun-hyung also operated 3 stores. However, it was still pulled. In the 5th game, hero Oh Jae-hyun’s breakthrough under the goal and Warney’s floater were activated at every important moment.
A quick attack by a block shot with 3 minutes and 49 seconds left. Moon Seong-gon succeeded. 20-16, 4-point lead. SK walked the operation time. Kim Seon-hyeong was put in, and a 3-2 regional defense was brought out.
KGC was confused again. 3 attacks failed, SK showed Warney’s strength. Performed 3 consecutive 1v1 attacks. In particular, in the third attack, a mid jumper thrown in an unstable situation passed through the rim. The first quarter ended with the score tied at 22-22. Again, SK’s transformation worked.
▶2nd Quarter = Game 7 was deleted in SK’s plan.
Bae Byung-Jun created the basket count. Bae Byeong-jun was put in at the last minute to check SK’s regional defense in the first quarter. An excellent 3-point shooter.
However, Kim Seon-hyung was not alone. Match-up opponent Park Ji-hoon slides behind the defender in a 2-on-2 defense, and he explodes a 3-point shot.
Again a tight fight. Warney, who was defending, collapsed with 7 minutes and 36 seconds left. I grabbed his right knee and was in pain, but luckily got up. Replaced by Williams.
Both teams are conserving their main forces for the match. It was quite important who got the head start here.
Bae Byung-jun’s breakthrough under the goal broke at a critical point. Monroe’s mid jumper went in. Footback score by Abando’s offensive rebound. While SK was sluggish in attack, KGC’s second unit widened the gap. 36-31, KGC’s lead by 5 points.
However, KGC failed to maintain its advantage. A mistake, an early offense, and Heo Il-young’s 3 stores exploded.
Again, the dominance of SK’s subtle flow. At this time, Monroe put on a mid jumper. Flow was very important. When Kim Seon-hyeong broke through, KGC responded with a 3-pointer by connecting Bae Byeong-jun to an open chance with a passing game.
Warney’s Bad Pass. Monroe made both foul free throws. Then, this time, Warney scored 2 points on a foul free throw by penetrating under the goal. It was a breathtaking encounter.
It was up to SK to finish the first half. Sunhyung Kim’s dribble. In SK, Bukyung Choi and Warnie are on the screen at the same time. Made a horn offense. Seonhyung Kim broke through the left side. 3 stores went through. Pretending to try a 2v2 attack, he caught the KGC defense off guard. 46-43, SK’s lead by 3 points. However, in KGC, Oh Se-geun and Spellman took a break. On the other hand, in SK, Bukyung Choi ran 20 minutes and Warney ran 17 minutes 59 seconds. In other words, SK did not want Game 7. Even if it was a bit excessive, I had a plan to end the champ series by overpowering the 6th game. The fact that Warney was put up as a starting member was the reason why Choi Boo-kyung was full-time.
▶ 3rd Quarter = 3-2 Regional defense
was tight, but there was a lull. KGC took a break and put the best 5 in full operation. The defense got stronger.
SK used 3-2 area defense. KGC still hasn’t broken. Rather, Spellman, Oh Se-geun, and Byun Jun-hyung are pass misses. After Warney’s mid jumper and Heo Il-young’s early offense, 3 corner points went through the rim. Operation time of KGC.
Following the 4th and 5th games, KGC still failed to break SK’s regional defense. SK’s lead by 51-45, 6 points with 7 minutes and 3 seconds left.
Moon Seong-gon’s mid jumper. However, SK made a high pick and roll with Kim Seon-hyung and Choi Bu-kyung. It was to touch the narrow defensive weakness of Oh Se-geun’s active power. Choi Bu-kyung’s mid-jumper went through the rim.
Choi Seong-won’s corner 3 stores exploded. In an instant, it was a 9-point gap.
KGC still struggled with local defense. suffered badly SK pushed through with a quick transition. Putback scores after Warney cuts through 3 defenders and grabs an offensive rebound. When Heo Il-yeong’s 3-pointer missed, Choi Bu-gyeong scored again with a footback.
60-49, SK’s lead by 11 points. Operation time of KGC.
Abando’s mid jumper was successful. Sunhyung Kim committed a violation in Out of Bounce. Again KGC attack. However, Park Ji-hoon’s 3 stores were airballs. Warney’s under-the-goal shot exploded.
Warney’s 3 stores exploded. The score widened by 15 points.
The fortunate thing for KGC was Oh Se-geun’s scoring after Monroe was put in, and Abando’s shot under the goal was successful with a buzzer beater in the 3rd quarter, leading SK by 11 points. SK completely overpowered NBA Golden State’s ‘Promised 3rd Quarter’. However, it has not yet escaped the pursuit range.
▶4th quarter = time for counterattack. Solver Munro
KGC started with Monroe. When Spellman was present, KGC’s attacks were too piecemeal. KGC’s fierce counterattack. Monroe’s footback score, high-ro with Oh Se-geun, and basket count by Monroe’s score came out.
SK couldn’t break through the offensive path other than Warney’s plotter. 69-63, 6-point lead. The match went into a fog.

Operation time of SK. Heo Il-young’s uneasy mid jumper failed. Then, Byun Jun-hyeong punished him again with a 3-point shot. 78-69, 9-point lead.
SK broke the flow once with Warney’s goal. However, the remaining time on the electronic signboard is 2 minutes and 19 seconds. Naturally, KGC’s defensive cohesion was maximized. There was a stickiness that could not be broken by SK’s detailed attack organization.
SK again scored a footback from Warney’s offensive rebound. 1 minute 31 seconds left. The chase time was sufficient. By the way, Monroe had a perfect open chance at the top. Monroe doesn’t usually throw a 3-point shot. rose boldly. He passed the rim.
In fact, this is where victory or defeat is decided. With 56.3 seconds left, Abando made a mid jumper as he was fouled. put a wedge in the game.
KGC struggled with SK’s regional defense throughout the third quarter. However, there was a fixer, Monroe. After breaking SK’s regional defense at the high post, Monroe diligently screened and created KGC’s attack. Besides, he couldn’t completely block Warney, but he made a close mark from the high post area and minimized the power.
The champion of this champ series will be decided in the 7th game. In the meantime, it was a situation where SK took the initiative of the flow. However, with a 15-point band electrode in the 6th game, KGC seemed to completely break the shackles that had been pushed by SK. Game 7 will be held at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium on the 7th.
