Участник:'Beep Beep Party'
The incompetence of KBL referees, who could not feel the consistency of 1%, and the wonderful changes shown by the Suwon kt bench also brought one precious win.
KT won 79-62 in the third round of the 2023-24 professional basketball semifinal playoff against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis at Ulsan Dongcheon Gymnasium on the 9th, leading the series with two wins and one loss.
After winning the first game, kt lost the second game. Both games were close matches, but the result was difficult for the "Top Dog" kt to accept. This is because both the first and second games were played in the flow that Hyundai Mobis wanted.
Game 3 was chaotic. The problem was inconsistent soft calls by the referee. The KBL suddenly started as a hard call in the playoff between KT and Hyundai Mobis. Having been close to soft calls throughout the regular season, the team changed the standard to hard calls without prior explanation. This embarrassed not only KT and Hyundai Mobis but also basketball officials watching the game.
Of course, the fun of watching has increased. FIBA is basically tough. It is very tolerant of physical fights. However, he is cold about contact during the shooting process. That's why the flow of the game often continues unbroken. The Australian NBL shows this trend the best.
The KBL was based on FIBA rules but failed to keep up with them properly. However, decisions based on hard calls continued from the playoff of the KBL and Hyundai Mobis in the round of 6. Players had no choice but to play tougher, and they continued to engage in hot trash talking.
Another problem was that the referee, who was not familiar with hard calls, failed to balance. As a result, the second round was more challenging than FIBA, and several scenes with high risk of injury were also staged.
This process and result seemed to bring the third game back to the soft call. The KBL referee reportedly reviewed the previous games ahead of the third game and emphasized fair play to KT and Hyundai Mobis. There was no explanation that he would return from a hard call to a soft call.
On the court, decisions were made that were completely different from those of the first and second games. Up until the first half, the game seemed to be a hard call, but suddenly it became a "beep party" in the second half. The game got chaotic, and the enthusiasm that was shown in the first and second games disappeared instantly.
Hyundai Mobis was shaken up in the process. They had strong play throughout the semifinal playoff, so soft call was not pleasant and difficult to adjust to. Moreover, the bench's superb performance in the first and second rounds was not seen from the second half in the third round. Eventually, players continued to make turnovers, unnecessary fouls, and missed easy points from the middle of the third quarter, destroying themselves. The team showed a bad performance in the second half.
On the other hand, KT was different from other players. It was not the bench that only watched Huh Hoon and Bath not coexist throughout the first and second games. Except for Moon Sung-gon and Moon Jung-hyun at the same time at the end of the second game, he was not the bench that lost by himself.
KT made proper use of Michael Eric and did not repeat the situation in which the team collapsed due to Bath. Having earned time thanks to Eric, Bath returned to the "bath" that we all know in the second half. Hur, who seemed impatient as if he had been chased by something, returned to the past when he was an MVP and dominated the game. 토토사이트 순위
It didn't end there. KT made Moon Jung-hyun embarrassed Jung-yong and Hyundai Mobis from the end of the third quarter to the fourth quarter. It was a bold choice and it worked properly. When Han Hee-won was exhausted, Lee Hyun-suk was the best choice. Kebe Aluma, a key player of Hyundai Mobis, was erased by Moon Sung-gon who suddenly appeared.
The key is that Heo Hoon and Bath began to coexist. In addition to his attacks, Bath relied on big and big pick and roll with Ha Yoon-ki. The assist was not nutritious even though it could be accumulated a lot. In particular, there was no synergy effect with Heo Hoon. The commonly called "you once, me once" attack continued.
However, things changed in the latter half of the third game. Hur Hoon and Bath aggressively switched positions to sway the defense of Hyundai Mobis. When the two players, who had been in charge of their attacks first, found a way to coexist, their teammates also reacted positively. This was the moment when the series, which seemed to be favorable to Hyundai Mobis after the second game, changed to KT's 2-1 lead.
Game 4 has more points to watch than the last 1st, 2nd and 3rd games. The key is whether the referee will choose a soft call rather than a hard call again this time, and how Hyundai Mobis will respond to the awakening and changes shown by kt. The 4th game of Hyundai Mobis, which slowed down for a while after going well, and kt, which is gradually evolving, is expected to be even hotter.
KT and Hyundai Mobis, which had a blood clot in Game 7 in the championship match 17 years ago, are also facing off in the semifinal playoff 17 years later.
