Ulsan Hyundai Mobis emerged from its second straight loss by winning 95-79 against Busan KCC, the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball team, at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on Sunday. Hyundai Mobis recorded 15 wins and seven losses, narrowing the gap with top-ranked Seoul SK by 0.5 games. With 10 wins and 12 losses, KCC lost to Wonju DB and dropped to seventh.
Gage Prim (21 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block) and Shaun Long (18 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist) were at the center of the offense.
Prim led the game by scoring nine points in the first quarter, and he focused 11 points in the third to push back ahead. Long finished the game with 10 points in the fourth quarter.
On the other hand, KCC's joint record of Dionte Burton (16 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 blocks) and Leon Williams (2 points, 1 assist, 1 steal) was less than a foreign player of Hyundai Mobis.
It is safe to say that the difference in scores (39 points-18 points) of foreign players led to the final result.
On top of that, Choi Jun-yong was sent off with two technical fouls with 7:20 left in the fourth quarter, which was a big variable in the game.
The following is the question and answer between the coaches of both teams at the press conference.
Cho Dong Hyun, director of Hyundai Mobis
How do you feel about winning
His performance was not good when he won two consecutive games. Thank you for turning the mood around with all your energy.
Prim did well in the beginning, and Long returned to his last-minute performance.
Both foreign players took the center stage regardless of who went first. Prim was in our favor from the start of the game as he showed his energy such as defense as a starter and enabled us to take the lead.
In the second quarter, the team came from behind.
"This is a mistake in defense. We asked them to play a two-point game, but they yielded six three-point shots through the first half. Players who played in the second quarter had to pay more attention to defense, but they paid more attention to offense and scored more points (to the KCC). After the first half, he reprimanded the team for defense. In the second half, he displayed good performance. I think the players felt they had to defend.
Seo Myung-jin (injured 2 minutes into the game) How bad is his injury
I don't know. I have to do a test tomorrow (28th), and Ham Ji-hoon is not good either. I have to wait until tomorrow.
Kim Kook-chan's performance in offense and defense
As soon as Seo Myung-jin started, he hurt his knee and Kim Kook-chan went out early. He is a player I always trust and trust. He works out until late at night and even during lunch time. He balanced well in the same game today (27th). Whether a shot goes in or not, he helps and energizes the team by defending opposing shooters such as Heo Woong and Lee Geun-hwi. Given Myung-jin's condition, Kook-chan can go out first in the next game.
Ham Ji-hoon scored on a fastball
Is Ham Ji-hoon old enough to play? While training in the off-season, he said he wanted a fastball to come out of the 4th (power forward) line. What do you think? He's a great player. He runs like that at 40 years old and keeps his balance. If No. 4 runs and participates in the fastball, the team's fastball goes up. Jang Jae-seok and others should run a lot when Prim runs, but Long is less active, so No. 4 runs when Long plays with Long. No matter who runs fast, it is desirable and defensive. If you run a lot, you may lose your concentration. Lee Woo-seok is also a little tired. The rest of the players should cheer up.
Is Long definitely alive?
"I don't know. I want him to survive, but when I had to change the prim, he said, "My shoulder hurts," and I said, "I can't get better," but five minutes later, he said, "I'm okay." I hope the two of them will lead the team well with good energy.
Prim Technical Foul (Prim hits Lee Seung-hyun with a basketball at the end of the second quarter)
This is what he always says. He says he won't blow his own. Referees may not be able to see it, but I also protest against Lee's hugging. It's the same story, but it's part of the game. I told him to focus on the game while fighting with the referee, but Choi Jun-yong, the opponent team, also got two (technical fouls) and went out. He needs to caution and lead the team. As it is part of the game, he says not to fight with the referee but to focus on the game. 스포츠토토
KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin
I think the right to provide (rebound 27-54) overwhelmingly influenced the game. The game was not played in the foreign players' fight. It is because the coach picked the wrong foreign player.
