Can Goyang Sono, whose winning streak has ended, regain its .500 win rate? They will try to change the atmosphere against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, which had its first 100-point game this season.
Sono lost to Suwon KT on the 5th, putting an end to their 4-game winning streak, but their power was back on track in the 2nd round. Seeing the effect of recruiting Chinanu Onuaku, stability was added to the performance. Although the average score decreased (84.4 points → 76.1 points), the number of goals conceded also decreased from 92.2 to 79. Sono, who recorded a goal-loss margin of -7.8 points in the first round, has a goal-loss margin of -2.9 points in the second round.
Jeon Sung-hyun played only 5 games, which significantly reduced his score in the second round, but his firepower has been stable since Jeon Sung-hyun's return. Sono averaged only 69.7 points in the first three games of the second round when Jeon Seong-hyun was absent, but in the next five games, he scored more than 80 points three times, leaving an average of 80 points.
There is another reason why Sono’s 키스방 firepower is likely to be demonstrated. KOGAS ranks last in this category with an average of 88.6 points conceded. During the 16 games played, there were only two games in which fewer than 80 goals were conceded. The only time Sono achieved 100 points this season was against Gas Corporation (November 11, 100-90).
Gas Corporation will eventually have to fight back with firepower. KOGAS recorded over 90 points in both games it won. Of course, over 90 points does not guarantee victory, but KOGAS recorded 2 wins, 2 losses, and a winning percentage of .500 in the 4 games in which the score exceeded 90 points. The fact that Sono recorded only 1 win and 3 losses in the 4 games in which he conceded 80 or more goals after signing Onuaku will also be a good reference for KOGAS.
Meanwhile, at Wonju Sports Complex, 1st place Wonju DB and 9th place Seoul Samsung will face off. DB, which won the first round match by 36 points (94-58), the most for the team this season, is about to have Kim Jong-gyu jump to 7th place in career blocked shots. Kim Jong-gyu ranks 8th with a total of 445 blocked shots, and 7th place is Herbert Hill (former Hyundai Mobis) with check here 446 blocked shots. Kim Jong-gyu ranks second in this category with 1.4 blocks this season.
On the other hand, Samsung, which is mired in a record-breaking 21 consecutive away losses, will begin an 8-game away game due to the rental situation at Jamsil Gymnasium. There will be no home games until January 1st of next year. First of all, we need to get out of the way of suddenly collapsing and giving up the flow in the third quarter. Samsung ranks 9th after Seoul SK (16.8 points) with an average of 17.5 points in the third quarter, but its average of 23 points in the third quarter and a goal-loss margin of -5.5 points are the lowest.
