KCC, which won the cup last offseason by recruiting Choi Joon-yong and Alize Johnson. Super team that received the most votes as favorites on media day before the opening. When I opened the lid, it was far from what I expected. Choi Joon-yong was injured shortly after the Cup and left the team, and Heo Woong and Lee Seung-hyun are performing below expectations. Johnson also falls short of his performance at the Cup. The team is in eighth place with three wins and six losses in the first nine games of the season. It is a super team in crisis, but Song Kyo-chang, the final puzzle player, is set to return. Song Kyo-chang, who finished the warm-up against LG in the D-League on the 21st (Tue), reportedly joined the first team. Can ace Song Kyo-chang, who returned to KCC, which is hovering in the lower ranks, lead the team to a high place?

Korea Gas Corporation, which won a dramatic come-from-behind victory over SK on October 29 (Sunday) with Andrew Nicholson's lucky three-point shot. He played his 13th game this season, but failed to make a winning report except for this game. Kim Nak-hyun is back, but he is losing his competitiveness due to Lee Dae-heon's poor performance, thin player base, and Nicholson's defensive instability. He was also lethargic in the previous game against Samsung. Lee Dae-heon scored 27 points to regain his condition, but he was dragged by lower-ranked Samsung throughout the game and suffered a crushing defeat by 21 points (63-84). Korea Gas Corporation, which is at the bottom of the table with 1 win and 12 losses, including 10 consecutive losses, is more desperate than any other team to change the atmosphere.

At Busan Sajik Gymnasium on the same day, the match between KCC and Gas Corporation will be held at the same place after the women's basketball match between Busan BNK Sum and Bucheon Hana One Q. It is the first men's and women's professional basketball doubleheader ever. Both teams will play meaningful games, but the team situation is not good. Korea Gas Corporation has won 10 consecutive games, and KCC has won one and lost four in the last five games, ranking 10th and 8th, respectively. Which team will be the one that will win the first doubleheader, a face-off between the two teams in desperate need of a change in the atmosphere?

Contrary to the expectations before the season, Superman will appear to give more strength to Jeonggwanjang, who is in fourth place with 9 wins and 5 losses. He played an active role with an average of 20.2 points and 10.3 rebounds in his first season of his KBL debut, contributing to the team's unified victory with 19.9 points and 9.9 rebounds last season. Even before this season, he smoothly renewed his contract, but he suffered from overweight by causing controversy over his body care, and eventually left the team for about eight weeks due to a fatigue fracture in his shin just before the opening. Coach Kim Sang-sik decided to trust Spellman even though Spellman's alternative resource Duvon Maxwell performed well. Can Spellman become a pointed window for Kim Sang-sik's motion defense without aces?

DB took its second loss (13 wins) of the season. DB, which was hit by Jeonggwanjang after seven consecutive wins in the opening, met SK after six consecutive wins and recorded its second defeat of the season. Although the winning streak was cut off in the previous game, the performance remained consistent. Based on Didrick Lawson and Ethan Albano, the team's offensive options varied. In defense, Kim Jong-kyu, Lawson, and Kang Sang-jae tightly blocked the strong side by narrowing their positions under the goal, and showed a defense method that thoroughly excluded the weak side where Choi Won-hyuk and others are located. He showed good performance in both sides of offense and defense, but he bowed his head at the end of the game, failing to stop Jamil Warney. Let's meet Chung Kwan-kwan, who presented his first defeat of the season, and see if DB can raise the winning streak again.

DB, which is leading the league alone with 13 wins and 2 losses, is closely followed by the two teams (SK, LG) with 8 wins and 4 losses and the 4th place Chung Kwan-kwan. The reason why this confrontation is important is that Chung Kwan-kwan won his first victory over the leading DB, as mentioned earlier, not just between the top teams. DB, which had its winning streak cut off due to its first loss of the season, will seek revenge, and Jeong Kwan-jang, who has continued his winning streak since his first round, will want to save good memories. It is necessary to pay attention to the confrontation between DB, which tries to protect the lead again after the defeat, and Jeong Kwan-jang, who tries to save good memories and threaten his position.
