Indifferent sorrow’ LG and KT summoned for the first final game of spring basketball
Changwon LG and Suwon KT, who failed to win the crown in professional basketball, summoned the final game of the first spring basketball series this season. This is a result that reflects the determination of both teams to get to the championship game and shake off the sorrow of being unranked. As LG and KT engaged in a fierce battle that went all the way to the final 5th game in the semifinal playoffs (PO), Busan KCC, which entered the championship game first, had a physical advantage.
LG and KT will play the final 5th game of the 2023–2024 professional basketball (KBL) semifinal PO (3 wins out of 5 games) at the Changwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 24th. KT, who had been pushed to the brink, successfully counterattacked in Game 4 on the 22nd, bringing the series to 2 wins and 2 losses. This is the first time that the final match is held across the 6th and 4th POs this season.
Neither team had any experience winning a championship, so the final 5th game was approached with even more earnestness. LG advanced to the championship in the 2000–2001 season and the 2013–2014 season, but only finished as runners-up in both. KT only advanced to the championship once in the 2006–2007 season, when it was the predecessor KTF, and took second place.
The two teams that were particularly weak in the spring had a long-awaited opportunity to advance to the championship game. LG recently finished second in the regular league for the second consecutive time and advanced directly to the semifinals PO, but did not win a single game last season and gave up spring basketball. KT also failed to become a series winner in the last three POs, including the semifinals of the 2018–2019 season, the semifinals of the 2020–2021 season, and the semifinals of the 2021–2022 season. This time, we have advanced through the semifinals to the semifinals and are looking forward to the championship game.
Heo Hoon, who leads KT, said ahead of the final 5th game, “We do not have the strength to lose to LG. “I will pour everything into it,” he emphasized. LG coach Cho Sang-hyun pledged, “We will prepare well again, win the fifth game, and definitely advance to the championship game.”
The championship match, which will be played with 4 wins out of 7 matches, begins on the 27th. KCC, who entered the championship game on the 21st, had a break of 5 days. On the other hand, LG and KT were in a situation where they had to play in the championship game after only two days of rest. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin is determined to stand at the top no matter which team comes up.
In the past, the semifinal PO final 5th game was held a total of 8 times in KBL. The team that won game 5 of the semifinals reached the top of the championship three times. KCC, which won the 2008–2009 season, is a representative example. At that time, KCC celebrated victory after playing a total of 17 games, including the 6th and 4th PO games, and the 7th game of the championship game.
