Jeonju KCC ran Pajuk’s 10th straight win with Taylor Davis’ final tip-in.
KCC beat Incheon E-Land to 84-83 at the home game of the 4th round of the regular league of ‘2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis Professional Basketball’ held at the Gunsan Wolmyeong Gymnasium and completed 10 consecutive victories. It is the first time since Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (13 consecutive wins) in the 2018-2019 season that a team with more than 10 consecutive wins on the KBL stage has emerged. KCC firmly maintained the first place with 21 wins and 8 losses. It’s four games against Goyang Orion (17-12).
KCC faced E-Land and played 15 reversals and 10 ties for 40 minutes. At the end of the game, KCC was pushed by the momentum of E-Land and was in danger of putting an end to the streak. With the lead 82-79 24.1 seconds before the end of the game, KCC gave up two free throws and even attacking power by committing a U foul to Jeong Young-sam (5 points) in the opponent’s fast attack situation by Lee Jung-hyun (19 points, 6 assists). E-Land linked this attack right to Henry Sims (14 points). KCC, who scored four points at once, allowed an 82-83 reversal.
The remaining attack time for KCC is 9.6 seconds. KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin put Tyler Davis (12 points, 9 rebounds) instead of Laguna, who scored 22 points, the most in the team before the final attack. This was God’s hand. Three seconds before the end of the game, KCC took part in a rebound when Lee Jung-hyun’s shot missed, and Davis tried to tip-in three times, leading to a goal and ending the match. It was the moment when the former manager’s number of matches fell. The KCC players cheered for the joy of winning 10 consecutive games.
In Wonju, the away team, Changwon LG, escaped from their second straight victory after winning 91-83 against Wonju DB thanks to veterans Kim Si-rae (15 points, 8 assists) and Jo Sung-min (18 points, 5 rebounds).
