The professional basketball regular league, which took a break of about two weeks, will continue its remaining regular league schedule with games between Ulsan Hyundai Mobis and Anyang CheongKwanJang and Seoul SK and Goyang Sono on the 28th.

With 11 to 14 games left for each team, the competition for major rankings has been outlined to some extent.

1st place Wonju DB (33 wins, 10 losses) has extended its lead over 2nd place Suwon KT (28 wins, 13 losses) to 4 games, and 2nd place KT, which can advance directly to the semifinals playoffs, is also 3rd place Changwon LG (26 wins) 17 losses) and are 3 games ahead.

In addition, 6th place Hyundai Mobis (23 wins, 19 losses), which is on the Maginot Line to advance to the playoffs, is actually in the stable zone, a whopping 6.5 games ahead of 7th place Daegu Korea Gas Corporation (17 wins, 26 losses).

The race to the bottom is virtually over.

9th place CheongKwanJang (13 wins, 29 losses) and 10th place Seoul Samsung (9 wins, 33 losses) are also separated by 4 games.

With about 10 games left for each team, if one team goes on a long winning streak or falls into a losing streak, there may be a change in the rankings at key points, but it is true that the possibility is not high.

Shin Ki-seong, a commentator at SPOTV, said, "Because the gap between 2nd and 3rd place is relatively small, there is a possibility of catching up if Assem Marey (LG) or Kim Seon-hyung (SK) return from injury, but Heo Hoon's return is also possible for KT."

“The flow was good before, but the variable is how much pepper powder will be sprinkled on the top teams in the remaining games,” he said.

Rather, competition in the individual award category is expected to be more intense in the remaining regular league.

First, Lee Seon Albano, Kang Sang-jae, and Kim Jong-gyu of the first-place team DB are mentioned as candidates for the regular league MVP.

Albano, an Asian quarter player, is averaging 15.4 points, 6.7 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Among these, assists rank first overall.

Last year, Ronjay Abarrientos, an Asian quarter player from Hyundai Mobis, received the Rookie of the Year Award, and there is a possibility that the MVP award will go to an Asian quarter player this year.

Sangjae Kang is also a worthy MVP candidate in that he is leading DB's high flight with 14.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists.

Busan KCC Heo Woong (15.6 points, 3.4 assists) and Sono Lee Jeong-hyeon (21.5 points, 6.7 assists) are also worthy of being named MVP candidates.

Lee Jung-hyun's team performance remains in 8th place, but his performance is outstanding as he ranks 1st in scoring among domestic players and 2nd overall in assists.

The second-highest scoring domestic player is Ha Yoon-ki (KT) with 16.2 points, which is far behind Lee Jeong-hyeon.

There is a possibility that the outcome of the assist title competition between Albano and Lee Jeong-hyun will affect the MVP voting votes.

The competition for the Rookie of the Year award is also fierce.

Hyundai Mobis' Park Moo-bin is scoring 9.2 points, 4.4 assists, and 3 rebounds, while LG's Yoo Yu-sang is scoring 7.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.

Park Moo-bin is ahead in personal record, but LG is higher in team ranking.

Park Moo-bin graduated from Korea University and Yoo Yu-sang graduated from Yonsei University, and they have been rivals since college.

Commissioner Shin Ki-seong predicted, “The MVP is likely to come from the DB that ranked first throughout the season,” and added, “Lee Jung-hyun is disappointing in the team rankings, but he has performed so well among domestic players that he can become a competitor.”

Commissioner Shin predicted, “Park Moo-min won the Rookie of the Year award, and Moon Jeong-hyun, the top rookie in the Yugi Award, has also performed well recently,” and added, “As it is decided by voting, it is important to see who shows a more impressive performance at the end of the season.”
