Hyundai Mobis overpowered kt in the second round of the semifinal playoff
Professional basketball Ulsan Hyundai Mobis succeeded in counterattack.
Hyundai Mobis beat KT 79-77 in the second round of the 2023-2024 professional basketball semifinal playoff (three wins out of five) held at kt Arena in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 7th.
Hyundai Mobis, which lost the first game 90-93, won the second game after struggling, and balanced the game with one win and one loss overall. Now, the two teams will move to Dongcheon Gymnasium in Ulsan on the 9th to play their third game.
The reversal... Hyundai Mobis' "Backside" was stronger
From the first quarter, a heated firepower battle took place. Ha Yoon-ki played the paint zone and Paris Bath and Moon Sung-gon hit outside shots for the home team kt. The away team Hyundai Mobis also countered with a three-point shot by Kim Kook-chan and Lee Woo-seok.
Hyundai Mobis gained momentum in the second quarter. Gage Prim, who was replaced as substitute, led the attack, and Choi Jin-soo blocked Bath, the main scorer of KT, by banking on his tough defense, and finished the first half with a 45-39 lead.
Hyundai Mobis gained confidence and tried to win in the third quarter by banking on Prim with good scoring ability instead of Kebe Aluma, who has strong defense. However, Aluma's off-guard pass scored eight points in the third quarter alone.
As KT succeeded in turning the tables by driving 11 points, including Heo Hoon's three-point shot, Hyundai Mobis' appointment as a player ended in failure.
However, Hyundai Mobis turned the game around again. In the last four quarters, Aluma led the attack again and scored 13 points. In addition, Kim Ji-wan converted the game 78-77 with 10.5 seconds left.
On the other hand, KT's breakthrough ended in failure, but rather gave up free throws to Hyundai Mobis, making it 79-77. The fierce match ended with Hyundai Mobis' victory, as KT even lost its last chance to attack with a pass miss.

Hyundai Mobis' Aluma led the victory with an active performance in offense and defense. By thoroughly blocking KT's bath, Hyundai Mobis took the lead, and also scored 22 points, the most in the team.
Aluma received an unsportsmanlike foul (U foul) in the third quarter when he hit his head in the face after a nerve battle with KT Han Hee-won, but rather stimulated the desire of Hyundai Mobis' fellow players to win.
In the fourth quarter of the match, Kim Kook-chan scored 13 points in a variety of ways, including three-point shots, fastballs, and free throws, reversing the trend of the game. In addition, Kim Kook-chan scored 13 points, and Lee Woo-suk and Prim each scored 11 points in double digits.
On the other hand, KT struggled hard with Heo Hoon's 22 points and Ha Yoon-ki's 19 points, but it remained regrettable that they lost strength in the fourth quarter.
Hyundai Mobis brought the game back to square one by winning the second round, but the probability is still on kt's side. Three out of 11 teams have a 27.3% chance of winning the second round after losing the first round in the semifinal playoff.
Attention is focusing on whether Hyundai Mobis will overcome the odds to write a thrilling reversal drama or whether KT will prevent an unexpected incident.
