Suwon KT will meet Wonju DB in the fifth round match of the 2023-2024 professional basketball league at KT Arena in Suwon on Wednesday. KT's season record of 25 wins and 13 losses, as it jumped to the second place alone. It has five wins and five wins against the leading DB.

KT has been quietly upping its ranking. It has widened the gap between third-ranked Seoul SK and fourth-ranked Changwon LG to two games.

This is attributable to the overwhelming performance of strong ace Paris Bath (200cm, F) from the fourth round with an average of 24.6 points, 12.7 points, 5.2 assists, and 2.1 steals. Ha Yoon-ki (204cm, C), who had slowed down since the injury, also recovered his performance from the fourth round with an average of 18.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks.

KT is waiting for Heo Hoon (180 centimeters, G), who is out due to injury. He is preparing to smile at the end as he returns to the team.

KT manager Song Young-jin said before the game, "Players have been working hard. Luck follows the fight for the rankings. Other teams can come up anytime. There are only two games to win. There are many injured players in competition. Always be nervous and do your best in every game."

"Kim Jong-gyu, Kang Sang-jae, Lee Sun-bano, and Didric Lawson are all players who know how to play basketball. They are also talented. Park In-woong is also good when he meets with us. Rather than blocking a specific player, Park should win the individual competition of pride. He stimulated the entire squad including (Paris) Bath. He wants to block Didric Lawson. He has prepared to catch attacks that Lee Sun-bano derives from. He will also minimize defense assists. If the defense that he has prepared doesn't work out, I will make changes. We must not be pushed back in the initial battle."

KT has been using key players for a long time. Ha Yoon-ki, who is blocking foreign players, is more burdened.

"We need to arrange physical strength of a player. Of course, we need to check the flow of the game. We need to pay attention to physical strength of the players even for the sake of the future. It is time for them to take care of their physical stamina. It would have been nice if Lee could have trained the team in summer. He came back only right before the season (Lee played at the Hangzhou Asian Games as a member of the 3x3 national team). He had a long hiatus. He also has a long time to play. He has a hard time finding sense of play. Sometimes we need to boldly recruit him."

Lastly, "We don't have many resources in our team to lead or handle balls. We have the shooting ability of St. Mary's. We are using it as an alternative resource for point guards. Seong-wu is also suffering from injury. He also has physical burden. Chang-jin's condition has not improved since his injury. St. Mary's is playing the role of Chang-jin. Chang-jin is also working hard. He will get another chance."

DB, on the other hand, is solidifying its lead. DB's record of winning four consecutive games is 31 wins and nine losses.

DB, which was once shaky in the fourth round, has been recovering its performance since the last game of the fourth round. In the past four games, the average gain-loss margin has reached 15.8 points.

Didric Lawson (202 cm tall, F) has been showing signs of ups and downs. Since the fourth round, he has displayed stellar performance with 21.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.9 steals, and 0.5 block shots. Ethan Albano (185 cm tall, G) also has stable performance in matches.

Kang Sang-jae (200cm, F) and Kim Jong-kyu (207cm, C) are also leading the DB along with foreign duo. Park In-woong (190cm, F) has also increased his presence from the fourth round with an average of 8.4 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.5 assists.

DB manager Kim Joo-sung said before the game, "There are no games that are not important. Every game is important. The fight for second place is also fierce. There are still more than 10 games left. If there are many, it can be a lot of rides, but if there are few, it is a small number of rides. We cannot be careless. We try not to pressure the players. I told them to think it is one of 54 games. Still, we have to play one more step than other teams."

"I have to draw the next picture after the regular season is over. I have to take the attitude of aiming for the playoffs. I focused on each game when I was a player. I did not consider changes in rankings after one game," he said.

DB is also wary of Bath. It failed to stop Bath even in the game after suffering its only loss to KT.

"When there is no merit, the attack is focused on Paris Bath. The condition of Paris Bath will also improve. First, Sang-jae (Kang) or Seung-wook (Choi) will stop Paris Bath. When Paris Bath speeds up from the outside, it is not easy to stop. I will not let you speed up. He is good at breaking through, but he tries to give two points rather than three points. I will also use assist defense," he explained.

Finally, "It is not easy for domestic players to grab rebounds. Nevertheless, domestic players must actively grab them. Only then can the rebound gap be narrowed. As a backup for Jong-gyu (Kim), there is Min-su (Seo). Sang-jae's backup is not enough. (Kim) Hoon is on the roster. I hope he plays well." He finished the interview.
