From 1 win and 3 losses to 4 wins and 3 losses, a miracle that happened only once in the NBA, which has a long history. In KBL, Heo Hoon accepts the challenge.
Suwon KT lost 90-96 in the 4th game of the 2023-24 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Tournament against Busan KCC held at Busan Sajik Gymnasium on the 3rd, pushing them to the brink with 1 win and 3 losses.
In the history of the KBL tournament, a team with 1 win and 3 losses has never won. There were 10 teams in total with 1 win and 3 losses, and they all lost.

There were only two cases where the team reached the 7th game, or the last game. The 2006-07 and 2008-09 seasons. Busan KTF (now KT) and Seoul Samsung took up the challenge, but came second behind Ulsan Mobis (now Hyundai Mobis) and Jeonju KCC (now Busan KCC), respectively.
Coach Jeon Chang-jin and Song Young-jin both emphasized the importance of Game 4 because they knew the clear difference between 3 wins and 1 loss and 2 wins and 2 losses. As a result, KCC won, making it 3 wins and 1 loss, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the balance of the series was lost.
However, KT is not a team that will give up the victory in their home stadium easily. Heo Hoon, in ‘1998 Heo Jae Mode’, continues, and his team, led by Moon Seong-gon, who has a ‘fighting spirit from injury’, continues giving support. It is unfortunate that Paris Bass failed in the 3rd and 4th games without being able to fully focus on the game, but if he recovers his previous performance in the 5th game, he will be able to compete .
If KT makes a big counterattack in the 5th game and overcomes the 6th game held in Busan, they can return to Suwon and play the final game. Of course, it is not a very likely situation, but it is not impossible. KTF and Samsung, who went to the 7th game before, were both lower ranked teams, so they had to play the last game away. However, since KT finished the regular league with a higher rating than KCC, they can play the final match at home. If you get to the end, there is definitely hope.

In addition, there is no case in the KBL, but in the NBA, there is a case of a team with 1 win and 3 losses winning the championship. This is the miraculous victory of the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Golden State Warriors in the 2015-16 season.
After losing both games 1 and 2 to Golden State, Cleveland fought back in game 3 and lost game 4, falling to 1 win and 3 losses. When everyone was predicting Golden State’s back-to-back wins, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving didn’t give up and eventually won games 5, 6, and 7, leading to an amazing comeback victory with 4 wins and 3 losses.
Cleveland’s miracle was the first in NBA history and remains a ‘first’ to this day. Even as Golden State recorded 73 wins, surpassing the 72 wins recorded by Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls, the incredible drama that ensued against the best team has become a a memory that is hard to forget.
There is no law that prevents miracle-like dramas from being used in KBL. The wall known as KCC is still high and formidable, but KT had close games in all 2nd, 3rd, and 4th games and did not lose easily. In the end, as they lost by just one point, it is not an impossible situation if they can narrow the ‘difference’.
Cleveland won its first championship in 46 years since its founding, and KT is also a team challenging for its first championship. Here, Cleveland had an undisputed ace named James, and KT had Heo Hoon, who put in some crazy performances.
Miracles come to those who do not give. And new history is always written in absurd circumstances.
