Busan Jumbos currently hold the 4th position in the league with a record of 9 wins and 7 losses. However, the team's offensive and defensive systems are significantly imbalanced, with a total score difference of 23 points across 16 games. Their offensive struggles are particularly evident, averaging fewer than 78 points per game, and a mere 75.7 points per game in the last 10 games. Their three-point shooting accuracy has also dipped to 29.3%. Furthermore, the team is plagued by injuries, with key local players like Song Kyo-chang and Heo Ung sidelined long-term. The foreign players are also inconsistent, and core center Cody Demps has averaged only 13.3 points in the last three games, showing a decline in his dominance in the paint. Additionally, Busan's home record is weak, with only 7 wins in 24 home games, making it difficult to improve their offensive performance at home. Changwon LG Sakers, the reigning champions, are currently at the top of the league standings with a record of 12 wins and 4 losses. They are a benchmark in the Korean Basketball League's defense, allowing only 73.3 points per game, the second-best in the league. They concede only 38 points on average per half, ranking first in the league. Their interior pillar, Assem Marei, averages 1.8 blocks per game, building a solid interior defense. However, the team recently faced setbacks in the East Asia Super League, losing 73-92 to Tokyo Alvark on December 21st, bringing their EASL record to 1 win and 4 losses, which means they are unlikely to advance. This may affect the team's morale, but returning to the Korean Basketball League, they will likely adjust quickly to maintain their league-leading position. Moreover, their offensive style is stable, averaging 76.3 points per game, ranking third in the league. They create numerous second-chance opportunities through excellent rebounding and exhibit strong tactical execution.
