(Goyang = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Eui-jin = Professional basketball Ulsan Hyundai Mobis continued its 3-game winning streak by defeating Goyang Sono, whose ace Lee Jeong-hyeon was out due to injury, thanks to Myung-jin Seo’s goal scoring 18 seconds before the end of the game.
Hyundai Mobis defeated Sono 80-78 in the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball regular league home game held at Goyang Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 13th.
Hyundai Mobis, who lost 82-100 to Sono in the opening game of this season, smiled in the second match and accumulated 7 wins (3 losses) of the season.
Sono, which was founded last summer, had an overwhelming record of 5 wins and 1 loss against Hyundai Mobis in the regular league last season.
Due to the loss in the opening game, it seemed like this nemesis relationship would continue this season, but Sono, unable to fill Lee Jeong-hyun’s absence, lost the second game.
Sono, who had won 4 games in a row in the opening game, only won 1 game in 6 games and his winning percentage fell to .500 (5 wins, 5 losses).
Sono, without Lee Jeong-hyeon, used the outside gun of Lim Dong-seop, a 197cm tall shooter, to attack in the early stages.
Lim Dong-seop, who scored 14 points in the previous game against SK, led the Sono attack with 9 points in the first quarter on this day, but fouls were a problem.
As Lim Dong-seop, who committed three fouls in the first quarter, was slowed down by the fourth foul in the middle of the second quarter, coach Kim Seung-gi had no choice but to play forward Kim Jin-yu, who is active but has a weak shot, instead.
As Sono’s height was lowered due to Lim Dong-seop’s absence, Hyundai Mobis focused on attacking the bottom of the goal through big man Kim Jun-il and ended the first half with a slight lead of 48-46.
In Sono, where not only Lee Jeong-hyeon but also big man Kim Min-wook were injured, Kim Jin-yu made up for the height disadvantage with a fierce pressure defense that did not spare his body.
In the third quarter, as Kim Jin-yu gained control of the offense with a series of offensive rebounds and steals against big men such as Jang Jae-seok and Kim Jun-il, Alan Williams’ dominance under the goal, which was relieved, also revived.
Williams scored 7 points and 6 rebounds in the third quarter alone, leading Sono to a 65-59 lead at the end of the quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Sono found power in offensive rebounds.
2 minutes and 35 seconds before the end of the game, Jae-Do Lee’s 3-point hit the rim and bounced high, and Hee-Jae Jeong, who won the competition, scored below the goal and also got a free throw, and Hyundai Mobis’ pursuit seemed to be slowing down.
However, Hyundai Mobis showed strength at the last moment.
Hyundai Mobis, who trailed by 77-78 with Lee Woo-seok’s 3-pointer 29 seconds before the end, managed to turn the game around with Gage Prim’s steal followed by Seo Myung-jin scoring from behind the goal 18 seconds before the end.
Afterwards, Park Moo-bin scored a free throw to complete the 80-78 victory.
In Hyundai Mobis, which struggled against Sono’s strong pressure defense, Prim led the way to victory with 19 points, and Lee Woo-seok and Kim Jun-il scored 13 points.
For Sono, Alan Williams played hard with 25 points and 12 rebounds.
