Professional Basketball SK and Cheong Kwan-Jang Face Off in the East Asian Super League Semifinals on the 8th

Finals on the 10th... Winner's prize of 1.3 billion won, 'Let's choose the strongest club in East Asia'

Seoul SK and Anyang CheongKwanJang will face off in the East Asian Super League (EASL) semifinals.

SK and Cheong Kwan Jang will play the 2024 EASL semifinals in Cebu, Philippines at 6 PM (Korean time) on the 8th.

The two teams met in the finals of last year's first competition, and Cheong Kwan-jang won 90-84 to take the championship. 바카라사이트

SK and Cheong Kwan-Jang recently competed in the KBL championship game for two consecutive years, and in EASL, they meet particularly frequently at the single-wood bridge, such as clashing in the finals last year and the semifinals this year.

EASL is an East Asian basketball club competition that was launched last year.

In this year's competition, SK ranked 1st in Group B (4 wins, 2 losses), and Cheong Kwan Jang ranked 2nd in Group A (4 wins, 2 losses), making the semifinals a match.

The other semifinal matchup was set to be between Chiba Jets (Japan) and New Taipei Kings (Taiwan).

The recent trend is probably better for Seoul SK.

SK is in 4th place with 28 wins and 18 losses in the KBL 2023-2024 season regular league, and Jeong Gwan-jang is in 9th place with 14 wins and 31 losses.

For Cheong Kwan-Jang, it is fortunate that after being mired in a 10-game losing streak recently, he broke the losing streak by defeating Goyang Sono on the 3rd and went on a trip to the Philippines.

In particular, it is good news that Lens Abando from the Philippines, who had been absent due to injury since the end of December, returned to the game on the 3rd.

SK's starting guard Kim Sun-hyung cannot play in this game due to an ankle injury, but Oh Jae-hyun has recently grown to the point of being selected for the national team, and Jamil Warney, Oh Se-geun, and Heo Il-young are all in good shape.

Prior to this game, the two games against Busan KCC (90-69) on the 3rd and Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (105-76) on the 5th were both big wins.

In the 2023-2024 season regular league, the two teams met five times, and SK won all five games.

Unlike the KBL league, EASL allows two foreign players to play at the same time, so there is a possibility that the game will be different from the domestic game.

The winning prize for this year's competition is $1 million (about 1.3 billion won), and the runner-up prize is $500,000.

Since it is much more than the 100 million won prize money for winning the KBL championship game, it is worth it for SK and Cheong Kwan-Jang to put all their effort into this trip to the Philippines.

Following the semifinals on the 8th, the finals and 3rd and 4th place matches will be held on the 10th at the same venue.
