Song Kyo-chang (201 cm, F) summoned his regular-season MVP form from three years ago.

Busan KCC defeated Suwon KT 90-73 in Game 1 of the 2023-2024 Jungkwanjang Professional Basketball Championship on Sunday at the KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon, South Korea.

The victory gave KCC a 69.2 percent chance of winning the championship, marking its first championship in 13 years since the 2010-2011 season.

He also drove to the basket himself for a layup and made foul free throws.

Song Kyo-chang played more than five minutes in the second quarter to take care of his stamina, and he was also active on the offensive end, focusing on rebounding rather than scoring.

In the third quarter, KCC was able to take control of the game 먹튀검증 against KT thanks to Song’s confidence in his shooting, as he shot 86% (6/7) from the field in the third quarter.

Song was replaced by Jung Chang-young with just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter as KCC went on to win the game. On the day, Song went about his business, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 28 minutes and eight seconds of play.
