In the end, the wall of injury was too high. Busan KCC Egis, whose most of the main players left, fell back into a long losing streak after a long winning streak.

KCC lost 75-89 in the fourth round of LG Electronics' professional basketball at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan at 2 p.m. on the 10th against the Daegu Korea Gas Corporation Pegasus in 2025-2026.

As a result, KCC is on the verge of forgetting all the wins it has earned by recording six consecutive wins after seven consecutive wins. KCC, which had 16 wins and 14 losses (0.533) before the season, widened the gap with the top ranks. Korea Gas Corporation, on the other hand, won its 10th game (20 losses), putting Samsung at the bottom and rising to ninth place alone.

Korea Gas Corporation finished its adaptation with Benny Boatwright, a new foreign player to replace Nick Perkins, scoring 28 points, including four three-pointers. Jung Sung-woo also contributed with 15 points and six assists. KCC's Sean Long worked hard with 24 points and 18 rebounds, and Yoon Ki-chan and William Navarro also scored double-digit points, but failed to prevent the loss.

Korea Gas Corp. started with Jung Sung-woo, Sam Joseph Bellangel, Shin Seung-min, Shin Joo-young and Ra Gun-ah. Regarding the new foreign player Benny Boatwright, Korea Gas Corporation coach Kang Hyuk said, "I heard that he has never missed a shot like this. He said it was his first time experiencing Korea's anomalous defense, adding, "If your physical strength comes up and you shoot, you may have a good play."

For KCC, Choi Jin-kwang, Kim Dong-hyun, Yoon Ki-chan, Jang Jae-seok, and Shaun Long participated as the best 5. With Choi Joon-yong and Heo Woong already out of the entry due to injuries, Song Kyo-chang and leading guard Heo Hoon, who came down to Busan, are also in poor physical condition, making it difficult to play. KCC manager Lee Sang-min, who has been losing five consecutive games, said, "If you don't have one, you have to do what you don't have, there's. I said, "Don't worry about the foul, and let's have fun with the thought of playing together."

The game, which had been a close game at the beginning of the first quarter, began to set the tone amid KCC's successive turnovers. With Ra Gun-ah firmly under the basket, Shin Joo-young and Shin Seung-min led KCC at the height, and Jung Sung-woo's chance making was also good. KCC's Sean Long worked hard, but the first quarter ended with a 17-23 lead by Korea Gas Corporation.

In the following second quarter, Korea Gas Corporation changed from Shin Joo-young and Ra Gun-ah to a combination of Kim Joon-il and Boatwright, which led to success. Boatwright, who went through an adaptation period in his KBL debut, scored 10 points by making two 3-pointers and a free throw in succession. On top of that, he neutralized the opponent's defense by stirring the lead. The game, which was once narrowed to a four-point gap, widened again, and Jeon Hyun-woo's wedge three-point score ended the second quarter with Korea Gas Corporation leading 50-36.

At the beginning of the third quarter after halftime, KCC began to chase Choi Jin-kwang's three-point game. However, Korea Gas Corporation's lead continued as Shin Joo-young and Shin Seung-min scored consecutive points. KCC seemed to chase after the attack well in the transition situation, but it was canceled when Lee Ju-young's layup became an offens foul in a situation where he could have chased more. Then Boatwright made another 3-pointer, and Korea Gas Corporation entered the fourth quarter with a 16-point lead.

The results did not change at the end. The Korea Gas Corporation did not run away much, but it did not allow the pursuit. KCC followed Kim Dong-hyun's 3-pointer by 10 points. However, Korea Gas Corporation ran away again with Shin Seung-min's three-point wedge.
