Coincidentally, KCC and Hyundai Mobis, who will meet in this showdown, both shook their heads at Sono's spicy taste in the previous game. First, Lee Seung-hyun (21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists) worked hard for KCC, but with Burton tied to 7 points, Lee Jae-do (28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals) and Alan Williams (25 points, 20 rebounds, 2 assists) also suffered a 69-79 loss.

Burton is the ace player of KCC who will cleanse Sono's wounds. He briefly lost momentum by scoring 40 points, 16 rebounds, two assists, four steals, and four blocks in the opening game against Suwon KT, but scored 12 points on average in the past two games. As well as intensive checks, Leon Williams, who joined the team in a hurry, is still in a bad situation due to lack of rest time due to poor physical condition.
On top of that, the departures of forward Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong, both of whom have high speed and speed, meant that they were inferior in the right to offer. They only garnered 28 rebounds in three games. They are quite different from the record (36.9) posted last season. 스포츠토토

Notably, when he had a showdown with Sono, his team had only 21 rebounds, which was similar to the number of rebounds that Sono Williams (20) grabbed. He has many challenges to solve. 

Hyundai Mobis also met Sono in the first game of the season on the 20th, but it collapsed 82-100 by dedicating 43 points, three rebounds and seven assists to Lee Jung-hyun. It was a regrettable defeat in a highly anticipated state, with the home opener sold out in five seasons.

After playing just one game, Long still showed off his presence. He played 23 minutes and 14 seconds, recording 17 points, five rebounds, and two steals. He also scored seven of his 10 two-point shooting attempts, earning 70 percent of his field-fighting efficiency. Without Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong, KCC's situation leads to conditions in which Long's power could be doubled. Who will be the laughing stock in the first showdown of this season's MVP.

Meanwhile, KT and Seoul SK will have a showdown at Suwon KT Arena. SK is on the rise. It beat Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang and Wonju DB in succession by banking on its team's fastball. In the two matches, the team posted an average of 14. Both EASL (East Asia Super League) players and foreign players' duos are aiming for the first three consecutive wins against unstable KT.
