Laguna “Choi Jun-yong blocked the bass well… Blocks increased thanks to improved knees.”

Busan KCC’s Heo Woong, who won first in the ‘Brother Battle’ held in the professional basketball championship game, expressed his will to win, saying, “I have to give 100%.”

KCC defeated Suwon KT 90–73 in the first game of the 2023–2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Championship held at Suwon KT Arena in Gyeonggi-do on the 27th.

This season’s championship match attracted attention as a sibling match between Heo Woong and Heo Hoon (KT), the two sons of former national team coach Heo Jae, the ‘basketball president’. 카지노

Former coach Heo Jae and his wife, who have two brothers, ‘a clog seller and a straw shoe seller’, visited the stadium to watch their two sons play.

KCC, which was slightly behind 39–41 in the first half, scored 15 points in a row in the early third quarter, instantly breaking the tight balance of the game.

In the process, older brother Heo Woong intercepted younger brother Heo Hoon’s pass and rushed toward the rim at high speed, scored a fast break layup, and roared, sharing the joy with Choi Jun-yong.

Heo Hoon, who lost the ball to his older brother and scored a goal, lowered his head in despair.

Heo Woong, who scored 17 points that day, said in an interview after the game, “I don’t think about things like that (parents, younger brother, etc.) during the game.

“I just think I have to win,” he said, burning his will to win.

Heo Woong said, “The first game is the most important in a short-term match, so I’m happy that I won.

“The series is not over yet, so I will do my best in the remaining games.”

Regarding clearly breaking KT’s momentum in the 3rd quarter, he said, “Choi Jun-yong didn’t seem to be able to concentrate properly in the first half.

Our strength is quick offense, but we couldn’t run around.”

He added, “The players gathered together and talked, and the 3rd quarter started.

“I think we won because we did what we were good at right away” he analyzed.

Regarding Calvin Jeffrey Epistola, who played 19 minutes and 33 seconds on this day and showed a great performance, he said, “He is a player who is strong in defense.”

He added, “When he catches the ball, I advised him to prioritize passing rather than dribbling and to transition quickly, and he took it well.

“I think it was brought in,” he said.

Laguna, who showed off her strength every day during the playoffs, led Busan KCC’s victory today with 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Laguna said, “The defense played well in the second half. I think we fought as a team and won.”

Regarding the pride match against KT’s ace Paris Bass, he praised the performance of teammate Choi Jun-yong.

La Geon-ah said, “Bath is a very good scorer, so it’s difficult every time we play against them.”

He added, “Choi Jun-yong faced Bass in the second half.

I think Choi Jun-yong watched a lot of videos before the game and studied hard before coming in.”

He added, “I spend time with Choi Jun-yong on and off the court.

We’ve known each other well for a long time, and it seems like we’re getting along better as the season goes on.”

Laguna also broke KT’s fighting power with 3 blocked shots on this day.

Regarding this, La Geon-ah revealed the secret, “My knee condition has been bad for the past few years, but now that my knee has improved, my rebounding, defense, and blocking abilities seem to have improved a lot.”
