These days, basketball players find 'hard calls' harder to endure than holiday nagging.

Was it a legitimate physical play, or was it a lenient referee decision? Reporter Lee Moo-hyeong analyzes the play of KCC's Heo Ung, who became the key figure in a 'hard call.'

KCC's Asian quota player, Epistola, lost his balance during a layup, and when no foul was called, head coach Jeong Chang-jin protested strongly.

In a critical moment of the game, Heo Ung took advantage of the 'hard call.'

Upon review, he was engaged in a physical battle with Chung Sung Woo, and the referee's judgment was 'no foul.'

Heo Ung hit a crucial three-pointer that widened the gap.

Looking closely again, it seemed that Heo Ung used his hands, but it was recognized as a normal play under the referees' 'hard call' criteria.

With 18 points and 6 assists, Heo was on fire, and with Epistola dominating the court in the final moments of the fourth quarter, KCC defeated Korea Gas Corporation and achieved their third consecutive win.

In Goyang, where KBS special program 'Ballunteer' participants Baek Ji-hoon and former national soccer player Lee Keun-ho visited the stadium, Jung Kwan Jang defeated Sono and successfully escaped from the bottom position.
