Oh Jae-hyeon ‘three-point shot of tears’… SK, one win left to win
Professional basketball Seoul SK has only one win left to reach the top.
SK, led by coach Jeon Hee-chul, beat Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation 66-60 in the home game of the 5th game of the 2022-2023 SKT Adot Professional Basketball Men’s Champion Final (4 wins in 7 matches) held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 3rd.
As a result, SK, which has taken a step forward with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses in the series, will achieve the feat of winning the championship game for the second consecutive season if it wins only one more game out of the remaining two games. In the previous championship match 2-2 situation, the team that first won 3 wins won 9 out of 11 times, reaching a whopping 81.8% probability.
SK’s endless irregular tactics… Ginseng Corporation ’embarrassment’
SK started the first quarter with Kim Seon-hyeong and Jamil Warney sitting on the bench to arrange physical strength like the previous game 4. Ginseng Corporation took this opportunity to score points diligently, with Oh Se-geun and Byun Jun-hyeong diligently shooting, and even Omari Spellman’s 3-point shot.
Fortunately, Oh Jae-hyeon’s 3-point shots burst in succession, and with about 3 minutes left at the end of the first quarter, SK, who put Kim Seon-hyung and Warney in, chased closely to 22-23, and coach Jeon Hee-cheol’s irregular card was successful on this day as well.
SK threw another winning number in the second quarter. It was to break down the attack pattern of Ginseng Corp. with regional defense. The more this happened, the more Ginseng Corporation had to attack with a high probability, but Spellman threw a 3-point shot and missed. On the other hand, Kim Seon-hyung and Warney, who had conserved their stamina, began to run away while steadily scoring.
However, Ginseng Corporation, which placed first in the regular league, was not a good team. With SK taking Kim Seon-hyung off the bench for a while, Byun Jun-hyung and Spellman’s 2-on-2 attack revived, quickly narrowing the gap, and finally succeeded in reversing.
In the final 4th quarter, SK found a way out by trying again with a fast attack that had not been heard throughout the game. On the other hand, Ginseng Corporation’s defense could not withstand SK’s attack. SKS won with Oh Jae-hyun’s decisive 3-point shot.
Who says it’s a nuisance… Oh Jae-hyun, who made a clutch 3-point shot
SK led the victory with Kim Seon-hyung and Warney scoring 16 and 18 points, respectively. Kim Seon-hyung made 4 3-point shots, and Warney grabbed 15 rebounds and kept under the goal. Heo Il-young added 10 points while leading the local defense.
However, the player who showed a stronger presence than anyone else was Oh Jae-hyun. Head coach Jeon Hee-chul is a defense expert, but Oh Jae-hyun, who only scored 2 points in the 3rd and 4th games, made two 3-pointers in the 1st quarter only, predicting an active performance.
In the second and third quarters, Oh Jae-hyeon, who mainly kept the bench with Kim Seon-hyung, came back on in the fourth quarter and became the main character by hitting a 3-point shot that sealed the victory at the end of the game. It was a more dramatic shot because it was Oh Jae-hyun, whose 3-point shot success rate this season was only 31.6%.
Oh Jae-hyun, who was moved to tears when the victory was confirmed, said in an interview after the game, “I’ve been so sorry for the team and for being a nuisance.” It seems to have reciprocated,” he said.
On the other hand, Ginseng Corporation, which dreams of an integrated victory, is driven to the brink. Spellman struggled with 23 points and 11 rebounds, and Oh Se-geun and Byun Jun-hyung also scored 14 and 15 points, playing not badly, but they could not stop SK’s momentum. 메이저놀이터
Both teams will play Game 6 at Anyang Gymnasium on the 5th. Attention is focusing on whether SK will win the championship with a streak of victories, or whether Ginseng Corporation will lead the game until the last 7 games.
