It is a match in which the opponent of the semi-final playoff (PO) is decided. Son Chang-hwan (50), manager of Goyang Sono, is determined to leave the final match to his fate to decide the opponent for the semifinal playoff.

Sono and Suwon KT will play the final regular league game of LG Electronics' professional basketball from 2025 to 2026 at Suwon KT Sonicboom Arena at 7 p.m. on the 8th.

Currently, Sono is tied for fifth with Busan KCC with 28 wins and 25 losses. Depending on the result of today's game, the regular league will be finished in 5th or 6th place. Depending on the result of the day, the third or fourth-place team will play in the semifinals.

The semifinal playoff will be held in the third-sixth place and the fourth-fifth-place match. Sono is currently in a tight race with 3 wins and 3 losses against Wonju DB among the joint third-place groups, and is inferior to Seoul SK with 2 wins and 4 losses. On the other hand, KCC, a competitor, has 2 wins and 3 losses against DB and 2 wins and 4 losses against SK.

Coach Son Chang-hwan said in an interview before the game, "I have a headache because I don't know what will happen even if I win or lose because I have all the 3, 4, 5, and 6th places. As a joke, I wondered if I should use up the operation time and the challenge in the first half, he said, "But in the end, shouldn't we accept the fate of the game as it is?"

Coach Son Chang-hwan then said, "There are teams that are ahead or behind in the opponent's record, but there is no point in who the opponent is in the current situation. If players like DB's Ethan Albano and SK's Jamil Warney burst, it's the same that there's no answer. "No matter who comes up, we'll face it with the thought of challenging ourselves." As Sono's first goal was to advance to the round of six, we will now try to see how far our ability is. I'm also curious about the end," he stressed.

MVP candidate and Sono mainstay Lee Jung-hyun will miss the final regular league game. With the play-off to the semifinals already confirmed, it is judged that he will not forcefully use an ace who is in poor ankle condition. Coach Son Chang-hwan said, "Lee Jung-hyun is taking care of his body in time for the playoffs. I will return to normal at that time," he explained.

In response, KT coach Moon Kyung-eun is determined to achieve a successful finish in the final game. KT failed to go to the playoffs in seventh place. Coach Moon Kyung-eun said, "I asked the players to aim for a 50% win rate. We will counter it with a normal entry," he said.
