\"Busan \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 Busan KCC players, who won Game 5 of the KBL Playoff Championship Game of the 2025-2026 season at Sono Arena in Goyang on the 13th, are happy to win the championship trophy. Yonhap News Agency
\nBusan KCC won the championship game of LG Electronics’ professional basketball (four wins out of seven) in the 2025-2026 season of the Korean Basketball League (KBL). KCC won 76-68 in Game 5 of the championship match against Goyang Sono at Sono Arena in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the 13th. KCC, which won games 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and 5th, beat Sono and lifted the championship trophy. KCC’s victory is drawing more attention because it is the first champion of the sixth-ranked team in the regular league. KCC, who was thrilled to reach the top of the 2023-2024 season for the first time in two years and the seventh time in their career, became the most winning team in the playoffs (PO) with Ulsan Hyundai Mobis.<\/p>\n

Heo Hoon, Heo Woong, and Choi Jun-yong played an important role in KCC’s completion of the 0% miracle. The three players, who scored more than 15 points, also showed their presence in defense and led KCC to the championship. KCC received tremendous attention even before the opening of the regular league in the 2025-2026 season. Heo Hoon, Heo Woong, Choi Jun-yong, and Song Kyo-chang, who were mentioned as MVP candidates, were considered likely to win the regular league.\n<\/p>\n

However, KCC was sluggish in the regular league. Starting with Heo Hoon, who injured his calf in the offseason, Choi Jun-yong and others left due to injuries and competed for PO, not the championship. KCC, which barely ranked sixth and qualified for the PO, has since become a completely different team.\n<\/p>\n

KCC, which defeated Wonju DB, the third-ranked team in the regular league, with three consecutive wins in the semi-final PO (three wins out of five), also defeated Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang with three wins and one loss in the semifinal PO (three wins out of five). KCC, who advanced to the finals for the first time as the sixth-ranked team in the regular league, also showed overwhelming performance against Sono. Five players, including Heo Hoon, Heo Woong, Choi Jun-yong, Song Kyo-chang, and Sean Long, united to secure the championship with 4 wins and 1 loss against Sono.\n<\/p>\n

Manager Lee Sang-min’s leadership also helped KCC reach the top. One of the best guards in the KBL, he knew the hearts of star players better than anyone else. Coach Lee, who coached the players with leadership of understanding and communication, enjoyed the joy of reaching the top as players, coaches, and commanders.\n<\/p>\n

Lee is the fourth coach to experience the championship as a player, coach, and commander in the KBL, following former Sono coach Kim Seung-ki, Seoul SK coach Jeon Hee-chul and Changwon LG coach Cho Sang-hyun. Lee, who experienced three wins as a player (1997-1998 and 1998-1999 and 2003-2004 seasons), received the winning ring as a coach and coach in the 2023-2024 season and the 2025-2026 season, respectively.\n<\/p>\n

Heo Hoon was selected as the MVP of the championship game. Heo Hoon, who averaged more than 38 minutes in five championship games with 15.2 points, 9.8 assists and 4.4 rebounds, stood tall as the best star in spring basketball with 79 out of 98 votes cast by reporters. In addition, Heo Hoon will be on par with his father, former coach Huh Jae (1997-1998 season), who won MVP earlier, and his brother Huh Woong (2023-2024 season).\n<\/p>\n
