He is determined to serve as a unit of red pepper powder until the end. Kang Hyuk, head coach of Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, burned his will to win.

Daegu Korea Gas Corporation and Suwon KT will face off in the regular league of LG Electronics' professional basketball from 2025 to 2026 at Suwon KT Sonic Boom Arena at 7 p.m.

Korea Gas Corporation is 15 wins, 32 losses and 9th place. Although it is impossible to enter the top six playoff (PO), it is determined to end the season. Korea Gas Corporation recently beat Anyang Jeonggwanjang, who is competing for second place after Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in eighth place, for its second consecutive win at home.

On the other hand, KT, ranked seventh, is in a hurry to win the Korea Gas Corporation match. He is 1.5 games behind sixth-ranked Busan KCCC (24 wins and 24 losses) with 22 wins and 25 losses.

Regarding the recent home game performance, Korea Gas Corporation coach Kang Hyuk expressed satisfaction, saying, "I asked for the remaining home games to win for the fans, but the players focused more and produced good results in bad things such as rebounding and defense."

Although it is an away game, the motivation is certain. Coach Kang Hyuk said, "KT is in the midst of a six-team battle, so it will be psychologically more urgent and pursued. I asked the players to have some time. We will use the opponent's urgent mind to show the active play we made at home," he stressed.

KT's new foreign player Jonathan Williams will make his debut in the Korea Gas Corporation match. Coach Kang Hyuk said, "I watched the video, but I haven't seen it in person, so I don't know how to play," but added, "However, it is high, so the inside play is likely to be strengthened. KT has not trained much in defense yet, so I'm going to pull Jonathan out and shake him up with a two-man game," he said.

In addition, regarding the defense of Derek Williams, the existing KT main gun, he said, "I'm always good at the Korea Gas Corporation, so I'll leave it to Kim Joon-il first, and if it doesn't work, I'll put Kim Min-kyu, who has recently improved his defense understanding, and I'm also considering changes such as trap defense to lower the opponent's scoring probability."

He admitted that it was his mistake to give up 98 points in the last five rounds of showdowns. Coach Kang Hyuk said, "There were some faltering front lines, but it was a mistake to defend the area too long," and predicted, "Today, I will defend normally rather than John, but I will make short changes depending on the situation of the two-man game."
