'1R win? Go to the end' PBA team league, if NH Nonghyup Card wins, it's over

The competition to win the first round of the Professional Billiards (PBA) team league goes to the end. No. 1 NH Nonghyup Card (17 points) and No. 2 Crown Haitai (16 points) will challenge for the top on the last day.

NH Nonghyup Card beat High1 Resort in the first round of the 'Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League 2023-2024' held at 'Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium' in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do on the 10th. With captain Cho Jae-ho's two wins, he won the set score 4-1.

NH Nonghyup Card, which won six games and lost one game, maintained its sole top spot. Crown Haitai also beat Welcome Savings Bank 4-2 to secure three points and finished second with 16 points (5 wins and 2 losses).

NH Nonghyup Card's "Superman" Cho Jae-ho played a big role. In the first set, Cho Jae-ho beat Oh Sung-wook, who had four wins and one loss in men's doubles, and his opponents Rupee Chenet (Turkiye) and Lee Chung-bok 11-4 in six innings. Kim Bo-mi and Kim Min-ah of the women's doubles in the second set also beat Yong Hyun-ji and Lee Mi-rae 9-4 in seven innings.

Cho Jae-ho regained strength in the men's doubles ace match in the third set. He scored six points in a row and won 16-10 (6 innings). NH Nonghyup Card lost 4-9 (7 innings) to Nguyen Phuonglin (Vietnam) and Lee Mi-rae in the mixed doubles of the 4th set. However, in the men's doubles in the fifth set, Antonio Montes (Spain), the men's "Rookie King" last season, scored eight consecutive points against Nguyen Duc Ancien (Vietnam), beating him 11-2 in two innings to confirm his team's victory.

NH Nonghyup Card will definitely win if it wins the final round of the first round against Hana Card on the 11th. With a 4-3 full-set victory, you can win on your own even if you add only two points. Even if Crown Haitai wins the final match against SK Rent-A-Car on the same day and the two teams have the same points, NH Nonghyup Card will be ahead in accordance with the winner's principle.

However, if NH Nonghyup Card loses, the situation becomes complicated. If Crown Haitai wins more than two points without winning any points, it will be overturned. If NH Nonghyup Card loses at the end of the full set and takes one point, Crown Haitai must take three points to win.

Starting with the match between Hana Card and NH Nonghyup Card, the match between Huons, Welcome Savings Bank, and High1 Resort-SW will be followed in 11. Crown Haitai will play the final match against SK Rent-a-Car. Blue One Resort is resting. 스포츠토토
