Korea Gas Corporation of Daegu, a professional basketball company that was ‘fighting for last place’ in the early and middle part of this season, is on the rise.

The team with the best performance in professional basketball in 2024 is Korea Gas Corporation.

Starting with the Anyang Jeonggwanjang match (81-70 win) on the 4th, they had 7 wins and 1 loss in 8 games. 바카라사이트

In this section, Ulsan Hyundai Mobis suffered the only loss to Korea Gas Corporation on the 20th.

This game was also closely contested until the very end, and Hyundai Mobis took the victory with a score of 91-88.

For Korea Gas Corporation, it is more encouraging than anything else that everyone smiled in the 'three-game series with the winner' that took place immediately after the Hyundai Mobis match.

Korea Gas Corporation, which defeated Seoul SK 88-75 on the 22nd, engaged in a fierce overtime battle with Busan KCC on the 25th.

One second before the end of the fourth quarter when the team was behind 85-87, Sam Josef Belangel dramatically drew a foul from Heo Woong and saved Korea Gas Corporation.

Korea Gas Corporation, which won 100-98 with Shin Seung-min's thrilling comeback 3 points 2 seconds before the end in overtime, even took the lead Wonju DB on the 27th.

Korea Gas Corporation, which invited DB to its home stadium, Daegu Gymnasium, already had a 26-point lead at the end of the third quarter, winning by a landslide.

Korea Gas Corporation, which hit 16 3-pointers, also showed its salty defense by holding DB, the only team this season whose average score exceeded 90 points, to 73 points.

DB's field goal success rate fell to 37% as it struggled with the change-blocking defense centered on Duvan Maxwell and Shin Seung-min.

The wins in these three games are all the more meaningful because they were achieved amidst the bad news that Kim Nak-hyeon, whom acting coach Kang Hyeok considered to be the ace among domestic players, left the team due to injury.

The driving force behind Korea Gas Corporation's upward trend in the new year is its offensive power, which has risen to the highest level in professional basketball.

In the '7 wins, 1 loss section', Korea Gas Corporation scored an average of 86.8 points.

The scoring power increased compared to the previous section (81.1 points).

Above all, his precise shooting sense stood out.

In 8 games in 2024, Korea Gas Corporation's field goal success rate was 48.9%, ranking first overall.

The 3-point success rate was 39.7%, the highest among the 10 teams.

Foreign player Andrew Nicholson has been at the center of the attack, scoring 28.8 points in every game since the start of the new year.

Nicholson also recorded a 3-point success rate of 42.6% in this section, posing a threat to the opposing team regardless of position.

Nicholson, whose defense was considered a weakness compared to his explosive offensive ability, has recently shown an active performance in defense, including winning all 10 rebounds.

Belangel, a Filipino guard in his second year in the KBL, also played his part, posting 13.1 points and 3.3 assists in 8 games.

On this day, in the DB match, he led the team's attack by scoring 16 points and 5 assists in the first half alone, making Director Kang happy with his performance, which was further improved than last season, his debut season.

Maxwell, who tightly tied up DB's main gun, Lawson, transformed Korea Gas Corporation into a 'defense team'.

While securing 7 wins in the last 8 games, Korea Gas Corporation limited the number of goals conceded to 78.1 points.

It was third after SK (76.5 points) and Suwon KT (76.8 points).

Assistant Manager Kang's strategy of making the most of Maxwell, who has good man-to-man defense and a high understanding of overall defensive tactics, and Shin Seung-min, who can block everyone from guards to big men, was effective.

Shin Seung-min played his role in attack, scoring an average of 9.6 points.

Korea Gas Corporation, which was on the rise, rose to sole 7th place (14 wins, 21 losses).

If you increase your ranking by just one level, you can advance to the round of 6 playoffs (PO).

There is currently a gap of 4 games from 6th place Hyundai Mobis (18 wins, 17 losses).
