Winning – 1st win KCC Jeon Chang-jin Coach Choi Jun-yong will be replaced

Ahead of the fifth round of the 2023-2024 professional basketball championship match (best-of-seven series) to be held at KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on the 5th, KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin said, "I have played against KT more than 10 times until today. How to deal with opponent's tactics is important, but I talked about the most important part mentally. I asked him not to be greedy but to be selfless and slow down."

Huh Hoon and Paris Bath defense come first rather than KT's Moon Seong-gon three-point check. Jeon said, "We don't throw away defense. We have two opposing aces. We're not doing it in a transformative way because it's not easy to match up. We're doing it because it's hard to win with a 5:5 ratio."

Still, he needs to stop KT's Hur Hoon and Bath to have a chance to win. Jeon said, "I promise to defend Hur Hoon. I hope he doesn't let situations run through the middle line." It's best to drive Hur to the baseline and provide assist defense. As he has high confidence in his three-point shot, he said, "I'm okay if he breaks through, so I need to check my three-point shot." "I think I've adapted to Bath's defense. Lee Seung-hyun will start and block again today. Bath is trying to block Lee Seung-hyun, Johnson, and Choi Jun-yong one after another."

Choi Jun-yong showed signs of reviving the last game, but he is still being replaced. "As a coach, philosophy always chooses to use weapons later. Choi Jun-yong is the last weapon. I believe he will do it when it is important in the last minute," Jeon said.
