‘Ragan-A’s 29 points’ KCC wins 3rd straight…SK ends 12-game winning streak

Professional basketball team Busan KCC celebrated Ragan-ah’s milestone as the all-time leading foreign player scorer with a victory at home.

KCC defeated Seoul SK 90-75 in their 2023-2024 regular season home game at Busan Sajik Gymnasium.

Riding a three-game winning streak, fifth-ranked KCC (16-12) cut the gap to a game and a half between them and fourth-ranked 온라인카지노 Changwon LG (19-12) and hoped to move into the top half of the standings.

On the other hand, second-place SK (22 points, 9 games), which was riding a 12-game winning streak, tasted its first loss in a month against Wonju DB (82-91) on December 12.

The gap with the leading DB (25-6) also widened back to three games.

KCC had the added bonus of Lagana becoming the all-time regular-season scorer among foreign players, passing Aaron Haynes (10,878 points) after 13 seasons in the KBL.

Lagana hit a mid-range jumper with 55 seconds left in the first quarter to push his career total to 10,880 points.

With his 29 total points on the day, Lagana (10,901 points) also closed the gap on the all-time leader in this category, Seo Jang-hoon (13,321 points).

He also added 15 rebounds to move into first place on the all-time rebounding list (6,348).

Lagana also won a decision against SK’s Jamil Warney, who is currently considered the best big man in professional basketball.

KCC head coach Jeon Chang-jin substituted Lagana for Alize DeShawn Johnson to counter Warney’s strength and height, so naturally, the matchup between Warney and Lagana played out throughout the game.

Warney exploded in the third quarter as Lagana scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the first half to lead SK to a 48-36 lead.

Warney led the charge, scoring 19 of SK’s 21 points in the third quarter.

For the most part, he had the physical advantage against Lagana, going one-on-one.

But in the fourth quarter, Lagana had the last laugh.

Lagunar scored eight points in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter to push the lead back to double digits, and with just over four minutes left in the game, he scored under the basket and drew a foul on his opponent to end SK’s chances of catching up.

Heo Woong supported Ragan-ah from the perimeter with 22 points.

Choi Jun-yong (15 points) and Lee Ho-hyun (12 points) also chipped in.

For SK, Warney struggled with 35 points and 10 rebounds.

Ahn Young-joon also had 16 points and eight rebounds, but he had to make up for the loss of star Kim Sun-hyung, who went down with an ankle injury.

‘Vibranium shield’ LG gives up 90 points… Advancing kt races to 3 straight wins with Heo-Hoon, Moon-Sung-Gon, Bass

On the march, Suwon KT showed off its firepower and won its third straight game.

KT extended its winning streak to three games with a 93-88 home victory over Changwon LG in the second round of the 2023-24 Korean Basketball Association (KBA) at the 카지노사이트 KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on Monday.

KT was led by ace Heo Hoon with 17 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal. He was supported by Moon Sung-gon, who hit four three-pointers and finished with 12 points, one assist, four steals and one blocked shot. Paris Bass had a lethal offensive performance with 26 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one blocked shot.

Other key contributors included Jung Sung-woo (10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Lee Doo-won (10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocked shots).

LG was led by Lee Kwan-hee with 20 points and four rebounds, Asem Marei with 20 points, 20 rebounds and six assists, and Yang Hong-seok with 19 points, five rebounds and five assists. Justin Gutang (13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Lee Jae-do (13 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists) also contributed, but their four-game winning streak came to an end.

KT unleashed more than 90 points of firepower on LG, which boasts the KBL’s best defense. They scored 53 points in the first half alone, breaking down LG’s defensive game plan.

LG boasts a salty defense that has only given up four 80-point games this season. They’ve been the “vibranium shield” of the KBL, but they had to swallow hard as they gave up over 90 points for the first time against KT.

Of course, LG’s late-game comeback was amazing. Especially Lee Kwan-hee, who scored 11 points in the fourth quarter. But Heo Hoon and Moon Sung-gon weren’t sitting idly by. They were not deterred by LG’s fierce pursuit and ended the game with a win.

With the win, KT moved to 9-5 and tied for second place with LG. They are four games behind first-place Wonju DB.
