The men's professional basketball team in Busan has earned an upgraded nickname in the playoff series of the semifinals. The team has not only recovered the prestige of a "super team" in a completely different form from the regular season, but also overwhelmed the Seoul SK Wyverns, which is terrifyingly overwhelming. The record also showed that. The average score difference of 21.7 points in three consecutive wins was 81 to 63 in the first game, 99 to 72 in the second game, and 97 to 77 in the third game. The average score of 11.7 points in three-point shots and 42.7 percent in success rate far exceeds that of Sono Goyang (average 10.9 points) and DB Wonju (37.5 percent success rate), which were No. 1 players in the regular league. Notably, the 40-percent range is a phenomenal record in the basketball league. In addition, KCC set a new record for the most points scored in a single PO quarter (24 points) in the fourth quarter (32-8) of the second game, and 40 points in the second quarter of the third game was the highest score in a PO quarter in history. KCC easily passed the playoff of the sixth round.

His sudden change is the hottest topic in the basketball world these days. "What on earth happened?" It is all the more surprising because it only took two days to prepare for the first round (four days) of the semifinals after the end of the regular season.

KCC insiders were also puzzled. "Even the eyes of the players in the training were completely different. I was briefed by the on-site staff that I could feel my life," a team official said. "While preparing for the two days, the players' class attitude was surprisingly serious, and the atmosphere was the best this season."

Captain Chung Chang-young's testimony revealed the secret behind what happened inside the team. Jeon had a meeting with the team prior to the start of the training to prepare for the semifinals. The gist of what Jeon asked for at the meeting was summarized into two main points. "Tossing" and "responsibility." When a coach or coach starts training ahead of an important match, he gives a "discussion" on the team. Jeon's remarks at the meeting could have been interpreted as "a regular nagging incident," but the team did not let him slide. After Jeon left, captain Chung continued his meetings with the players only. "What the coach said was always right. I wanted to ask the players to add more than just listening," Chung said, explaining the reason for the meeting. "We didn't have time to work together as all the members were injured during the regular season, but we gathered for a short time, so we tried to communicate seriously."

The story that Jung Chang-young asked was not much different from the coach's "funshi," but it was even more desperate. "Isn't it time for us to stand in one mind and look forward to winning the championship?" and "Let's throw away all our personal records and greed and play basketball together as five of us."

"Me and Heo Woong, Ra Gun-ah, and Lee Seung-hyun lost three games in a row last year, and Choi is going to face their old team, which they did not have before," Jung said. "Coincidentally, players who were spiteful about 'Let's beat SK properly' gathered," he said, expressing his serious atmosphere at the time.

More than anything else, there was one word that heightened the players' fighting spirit to the highest level. "Let's not be humiliated by X this time," Chung said. "Due to our luxurious membership, stars such as Heo Woong, Choi Jun-yong, and Song Kyo-chang can be credited if we win, but if we lose, we will receive more criticism than that. Chung explained that he meant to gather good players and not bring disgrace upon ourselves." "As my mindset changed, the content of the game changed as well," said Chung, who was praised by the coach for his perfect six-man performance in the semifinal. "I am grateful for all the players who sacrificed as the coach asked." KCC's opponent in the semifinal playoff is Wonju DB, the champion of the regular league.
