Overcoming the label of being an underdog, Gas Corporation has a special strategy as they ride a four-game winning streak.

Accepting their height disadvantage, they are employing a tactic that uses three guards simultaneously.

["Oh, we have three guards now, with Belangel, Kim Nak-hyun, and Jeong Seong-woo on the court."]

By executing fast plays on both offense and defense, they force their opponents to make mistakes.

Coach Kang Hyuk, known for his strong defense during his playing days, effectively shut down SK's outside shooting with what is called "suffocating defense".

After the third quarter, their outside shooting became even more potent.

Kim Nak-hyun, who struggled early in the game, found his rhythm with three-pointers, and Kwak Jeong-hoon hit a critical three-pointer in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

Gas Corporation defeated SK 91 to 76, achieving their fifth consecutive win and taking sole possession of first place.

In the matchup between the twin coaches, it was younger brother Jo Dong-hyun who came out on top.

KCC, with Heo Ung returning to the court, displayed a powerful offense and defeated JungKwanJang.
