KT beat Ulsan Hyundai Mobis 79-62 in the third round of the semifinal PO match held in Ulsan on the 9th. It was the first time in the series to win a landslide victory by more than 10 points.

In the first and second games, KT made multiples of one-two punch Paris Bath and Hur Hoon, who struggled due to lack of physical stamina. Bath rested most of the second quarter, and Hur Hoon was excluded from the starting lineup. KT manager Song Young-jin set the playing time for both players to 30 minutes or less. KT lost 33-38 through the first half.

However, Bath scored 14 points in the third quarter alone, and Hur Hoon scored 18 points in the fourth quarter alone, turning the mood completely toward KT. KT, which had one win and one loss at home in Suwon, secured a complete victory in enemy territory, thereby taking the mood of the series.

Behind their performances were the real protagonists Moon Sung-gon and Moon Jung-hyun. Their score in the third game was zero. However, they excelled in defense and rebound.

Moon Sung-gon is a defensive specialist who received the regular league defensive award in professional basketball for four consecutive seasons until last season. He strongly pressured Hyundai Mobis by banking on his tall height of 1m96cm. The guards of Hyundai Mobis, including Park Moo-bin and Kim Kook-chan, struggled from the start of the attack. There were as many as 20 errors by Hyundai Mobis in Game 3. Most of the errors were made when Moon Sung-gon took the lead in dribbling excessively to pressure the opponent team's lead.

Rookie Moon Jung-hyun is shinier in PO than in the regular league. The star of the winning shot, who led the team to a three-point victory in the first round of the semifinals, Moon was in charge of under the basket in the third round. In place of the KT's starting center Ha Yoon-ki, Moon played for 21 minutes in the third round and secured nine rebounds. He became the player who garnered the most rebounds for KT. He also contributed by defending Hyundai Mobis' main scorer Gage Prim and tying veteran big man Jang Jae-seok with a foul trouble.

KT manager Song Young-jin attributed the victory to the "Eunsung Heroes." "Moon Jung-hyun, Moon Sung-gon, and Michael Eric held out and performed well. It was the core of the game."

Game 4 between the two teams will be held in Ulsan on the 11th.
