In the third round of the professional basketball championship game held on the 1st, Choi Jun-yong KCC couldn't laugh even if his team won.

On the same day, KCC won a new championship by a three-point gap of 92-89, while Choi Jun-yong scored only nine points. Heo Hoon kt played 40 minutes full and scored 37 points, but if Choi had scored in double digits as usual, he could have secured a more relaxed victory. Choi only scored six points in the second game, and KCC lost the second game 97-101.

Did he realize that he had to be the main character in order for the team to go easily? Choi Jun-yong's performance in the attack made KCC fly again. It was truly 'Choi Time'.

KCC beat KT 96-90 in Game 4 of the 2023-2024 professional basketball championship game best four wins in seven games held at Busan Sajik Gymnasium on the 3rd to secure its third win one loss of the series.

KCC, which finished fifth in the regular season league, moved to the PO and beat the Seoul SK in the sixth round, and the Wonju DB, the winner of the regular season league, to advance to the championship game, will win the championship game of the fifth-ranked team in the regular season for the first time in history with one more win. It will also become the sixth team in 13 years since the 2010-2011 season. Since the launch of the professional basketball league in 1997, there has been a time when a team leading by three wins and one loss won the championship.

On this day, 11,217 spectators gathered at Sajik Gymnasium, setting a record of more than 10,000 spectators entering the third game 10,496. The record of 10,000 spectators in two consecutive games is the first time in 13 years since the 5th to 6th rounds of championship match between Wonju Dongbu current DB and Jeonju KCC currently Busan KCC in the 2010-2011 season.

KT scored 33 points as Hur Hoon, who played full 40 minutes in both the second and third games, played all 40 minutes on the day, and scored 15 points in the first half alone. KT also led the first half 48-40 by banking on Hur Hoon's fighting spirit.

However, the situation changed in an instant as early offensives through KCC's unique transition came to life from the third quarter. KCC, who turned the game around 57-55 with Heo Woong's 3-pointer with five minutes left in the quarter, immediately hit Heo Hoon with three points to allow the game to turn the tables again, but immediately Calvin Jeffrey Epistola and Choi Jun-yong's back-to-back 3-pointers exploded, taking the lead again and starting to widen the gap.

Choi Jun-yong, whose scoring began to explode, hit a three-point shot once again with 18 seconds left at the end of the quarter, making a double-digit difference of 77-66, and entering the final fourth quarter.

KCC, which continued its stable lead in the fourth quarter, made both free throws by obtaining U fouls while Heo Hoon stole Epistola's ball following a three-point shot with about 4 minutes left in the end of the game, and Moon Sung-gon's three-point shot exploded in the offensive zone and was chased by 87-85 with 3 minutes 47 seconds left.

Since then, the match between the two teams, which had a fierce scoring battle, began to lean back toward KCC, where Lee Ho-hyun scored four consecutive points with about a minute left in the end. Just as Heo Hoon tried to revive the atmosphere by hitting a three-point shot on the side, Choi Jun-yong's three-point shot was inserted 35 seconds before the end, and the game was decided.

Choi Jun-yong scored 24 points, the most in his team. Ra Gun-ah had 19 points, 14 rebounds, and double-double, while Heo Woong also had 14 points and 10 assists.
