Professional basketball’s Seoul SK will challenge for the top spot in the East Asian Super League (EASL). Their opponent is the Chiba Jets of Japan.
The Jets faced off against the New Taipei Kings in the semifinals of the 2024 EASL Finals 4 at the Hoops Dome in Cebu, Philippines, on Nov. 8 and came away with a 92-84 victory. The game was close until the fourth quarter, but the Jets came from behind to pull out the win. The Jets will play the other semifinal winner, SK, 온라인카지노 for the championship on Tuesday.
The Jets were already considered the favorite to win the tournament coming into the group stage. They were the only team in the league to go undefeated in their first six group games and finished first in Group A to reach the Final Four. They were so dominant that they averaged 91 points in their six group games while conceding just 75 points per game.
The Kings, on the other hand, were a relative underdog. They finished first in the group stage to SK, and the loss of NBA superstar Jeremy Lin was a major blow. Lin, who was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis last month, traveled to Cebu but was unable to regain his form by the semifinals and was ultimately ruled out.
The momentum shift was palpable, but the game was far from one-sided. The Kings kept the game close until the third quarter. The game was tied at 82-82 with 3:18 left in regulation, and the momentum was in both teams’ favor. The Kings were led by Jeremy Lin’s younger brother, Joseph Lin, who finished with 21 points, including five 3-pointers, to go along with four rebounds and five assists. The Kings also led the rebounding battle with 36 (to 34 for the Jets), including Joseph Lin’s three-pointers.
After Togashi’s 3-pointer made it 82-82, the Jets battled back with a 3-pointer from Shunta Hara and a layup from Togashi to pull away. The Jets then took a three-point lead with 46 seconds left in regulation before John Mooney hit a layup and free throw to seal the win. The Kings called a timeout with 11 seconds left to try to get within six points, but to no avail. After fouling Mooney again, the Kings were forced to make the free throws and that’s how they ended the game.
The Jets, who laughed at the last-minute focus, will face SK in the final on Tuesday. “We have analyzed the opponents,” said coach Jeon Hee-cheol, who confirmed the final earlier. We will make a judgment after watching today’s game.” “It is important to utilize our strengths rather than playing according to the opponent,” he said.
