The victory or defeat was decided with one shot. Goyang Carrot’s long shot, the 3-point shot, did not go in, while Seoul SK continued to dominate the inside with a tall lineup and won. Coach Kim Seung-gi of Carrot expressed regret that he could not achieve 6 consecutive victories.

The scoring was so biased that the three made 10 out of 11 three-pointers on the team.
With this defeat, 5th place Carrot became 18-16 for the season. 스포츠토토
After the game, coach Kim Seung-gi said, “The players worked hard until the end. Even though it’s hard to live and die, I think I should be satisfied with the hard work. Still, it’s a game that can be won with just one shot, but it’s a pity,” he smiled.
He continued, “It was a game that could have been won if Lawson had put it in at the end, and before that, it was a game that could have been won with just one shot from Choi Hyun-min, Kim Jin-yu, and Kim Kang-seon. It’s more unfortunate that we lost,” he said. “There are many games like this this season. There are many games that we lost without being able to overcome the close bing, but even if we had only won half, we would have been in a higher place.”
He also conveyed hope. Director Kim said, “The outskirts of Alledge are very good. Adapting to our team will make it difficult for opponents to block. If you pick and pop, you can create a chance from inside. I haven’t adapted to the set defense yet, but I will make it to the defense. I will make Al Ledge use all of his abilities.”
Lastly, he said, “In the end, we have to give a one-two punch. Today (Lee) Junghyun was so blocked. It’s also regrettable that Jung Hyun couldn’t release it.” Lee Jung-hyun scored 7 points with a field goal rate of 20% (1/5) that day.
