The fall of the defending champion Anyang Jeonggwanjang is not easy. He struggled in the mire of his first nine consecutive losses.

At an away game against Hyundai Mobis in the 2023-24 professional basketball regular season held at Dongcheon Gymnasium in Ulsan on Friday, Chung lost eight consecutive games before the Asian Cup qualifying break, and suffered the disgrace of having lost nine consecutive games, the most in his team's history. The previous record was eight consecutive games in the 2013-14 season. Despite 15 consecutive losses in away games, Chung ranked ninth with 13 wins and 30 losses. The gap with 10th-ranked Samsung 9 wins and 33 losses has narrowed to 3.5 games. Chung has never finished 10th in the regular season. He has never finished ninth in the worst performance in the past season.

Hyundai Mobis failed to win five consecutive games after losing against Suwon KT on Wednesday, the last game before the break, but Hyundai Mobis made 24 wins and 19 losses to rise to the fifth place after beating Busan KCC 22 wins and 18 losses. The team has been on the rise with eight wins and two losses in recent 10 games.

Jeong lost to 28-44 in rebound. As a result, he only scored 10 points in his second goal. Hyundai Mobis had 21 points, more than doubling the gap.

In the first quarter, he had five 3-pointers and was leading 29-18 as he seemed to overcome his losing streak. However, in the second quarter, he gave up four 3-pointers and was trailing by 50-44. Notably, Chung felt sorry for allowing 13 points and seven rebounds to one Kebbe Aluma 26 points and 15 rebounds.

In the third quarter, the success rate of field throws fell sharply to 25% and only eight points were scored, including all six three-point shots failed, and only four two-point shots were made. While struggling with empty space, he gave up 26 points, including nine points to Aluma and seven points each to Lee Woo-suk 14 points, nine rebounds, six assists and Jang Jae-seok 15 points, seven rebounds.

After trailing 58-70 in the fourth quarter, Jeonggwanjang lost the momentum to chase Robert Carter 16 points sitting on the bench with an ankle injury with about eight minutes left in the game.

At Jamsil Students' Gymnasium in Seoul, the home team Seoul SK defeated Goyang Sono by a score of 98-66, 32 points, to overcome its second consecutive loss. With 26 wins and 17 losses, SK is now tying with Changwon LG for third place. Sono is eighth with 14 wins and 29 losses.

SK won 48 rebounds, outpacing Sono with only 17. Ahn Young-joon's return was postponed, but he was excited by scoring all 12 of the players, including Jamil Warney with 23 points and 15 rebounds, Heo Il-young with 15 points, Oh Jae-hyun with 11 points and seven assists, and Choi Won-hyuk with 11 points and six assists. 토토사이트
