Kim Chul-wook (32, 202cm), who joined the entry in a hurry before the game, hit a valuable three-point shot.

The second round match between Suwon KT and Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, the regular league of the 2024-2025 KCC professional basketball team, took place at the Sonicboom Arena in Suwon on Sunday. The locker room of the corporation was busy before the game. The team suddenly changed its roster. 안전놀이터

Originally, Kwak Jung-hoon was included in the 12-member roster of Korea Gas Corporation. However, he hurriedly added Kim Cheol-wook instead of Kwak Jung-hoon after the team meeting. After entering the gym in plain clothes, Kim changed into a uniform that his support staff brought in quickly and warmed up.
Coach Kang Hyuk agonized over Kwak Jung-hoon and Kim Chul-wook until the end. Recently, Kwak Jung-hoon's condition has reduced his playing time, and he decided to trust Kim Chul-wook, who has an advantage in outer shooting. Ha Yoon-ki just returned to KT, so it was better to put one more big man in the entry.

After the game, coach Kang Hyuk said, "Originally, we have a meeting in the morning and decide on the 12-member team. But recently, (Kwak) Jung-hoon was not in good condition. So I thought it would be better to include (Kim) Cheol-wook. After the pre-match team meeting, players went out and warmed up, and I added Cheol-wook instead of Jeong-hoon. I didn't even have a uniform, but I brought him by car."

After a neck-and-neck battle with KT throughout the game, Korea Gas Corporation had its main player, Lee Dae-hun, leave early in the fourth quarter due to a five-fault exit. Then, coach Kang put in Kim Cheol-wook. He reported his first score by hitting a 3-pointer, which is his strength. He made another outfielder at the corner one minute and four seconds before the 80-80 match ended, bringing the mood to KGC. KGC, which scored the final 3-pointer, won 87-83.

On the day, he played 10:07 to score six points, two rebounds and one assist. He made two 3-pointers in the fourth quarter alone, including the final 3-pointer, contributing to his team's victory. Kang Hyuk's choice of including Kim Cheol-wook in the entry list instead of Kwak Jung-hoon was a great move.

Manager Kang Hyuk said, "He is such a good shot. He told me to throw if I have a chance because I have confidence in 3-point shooting. Then, I asked him to focus on defense and rebounding. The chance came, and he threw confidently in his form. Some of his players made it well."

"It's a result theory, but if Cheol-wook didn't score a shot, the situation of the game could change. I trusted (Lee) Dae-heon because his outside shot was not good recently. I want to say thank you to Cheol-wook," he added.

Coach Kang Hyuk changed his entry in a hurry before the game. Kim Cheol-wook hit a valuable three-point shot in the final, living up to Kang Hyuk's expectations. Kang Hyuk's use of outstanding players brought valuable one win.
