Busan KCC Egis showed off the prowess of the "super team" and beat Wonju DB Promy to laugh first in the first round of the semi-final playoff (PO) held on the road. In particular, "Ace" Song Kyo-chang's explosive score stood out.

Busan KCC beat Wonju DB at Wonju DB Promi Arena in Wonju, Gangwon-do, 81-78 in the first round of the 2025-2026 LG Electronics' professional basketball semi-final PO away game. With this victory, KCC took the lead in the series, preempting the winning team's probability of advancing to the semifinals at 91.1%.

Song Kyo-chang was the best contributor to the victory. Song Kyo-chang, who played 33 minutes and 3 seconds, led the team's attack by scoring 20 points throughout the game. In particular, he set the stage for the chase by scoring consecutive points in a crisis that could lead to a gap in points at the end of the first half, and he succeeded in a decisive field in the second half, which was the match point, breaking DB's will to chase.

The game was as fierce as the playoffs, but both teams showed a somewhat chaotic trend due to the difficulty of fielding and errors. KCC, which started 18-24 with five turnovers in the first quarter, fought back from the second quarter with Sean Long's control under the basket and the outer support of brothers Heo Woong and Heo Hoon revived. KCC succeeded in chasing 43-45 in the first half.

KCC, which faced the last four quarters with a 64-66 deficit until the third quarter, succeeded in turning the tables with Sean Long's consecutive points after the middle of the fourth quarter. It was crucial to show concentration in a 71-71 tie and run to 78-73 in an instant.

However, DB persistently followed until the end of the game. Thirty seconds before the end of the game, he had his last chance to attack with a 78-81 and three-point gap. Ace Ethan Albano attempted a three-point shot to tie the game, but the dramatic scenario was not completed as the ball turned away from the rim.

In DB, Jung Hyo-geun scored 15 points and Henry Ellonson scored 23 points, but he gave up the first game due to a lack of hindsight in the last minute, putting pressure on the remaining series operations. Albano also played with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists, but bowed his head.

On the other hand, KCC's Sean Long double-double with 26 points and 10 rebounds, while Hur Woong scored 17 points and Choi Jun-yong scored 11 points, helping the team win.
