Huh Woong's faith in Choi Jun-yong, the best forward in Korea

"You're the best forward in our country"

Busan KCC defeated Suwon KT 92-89 in Game 3 of the 2023-2024 Professional Basketball Championship held at Sajik Indoor Stadium in Busan on May 1. The team recorded 2 wins and 1 loss overall in the series. Also, after moving from his hometown to Busan, he won his first championship game.

The biggest contributor to the victory was Heo Woong (185 cm, L). Heo was the troubleshooter who finished the third round. He scored a team-high 26 points and achieved seven assists, the most between the two teams. In particular, he finished the game with a wedge-shaped free throw (92-89) just 3.2 seconds before the end of the game.

Ra Gun-ah (199 cm, C) and Song Kyo-chang (199 cm, F) also shot Heo Woong. Ra Gun-ah had 22 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks, one assist, and one steal during 30 minutes, while Song had 18 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one steal during 36 minutes and 17 seconds.

Those who played defense cards including Calvin Epistola (181 cm, L) and Lee Seung-hyun (197 cm, F) also played their part. Epistola bothered KT's Korean ace Hur Hoon (180 cm, G) as much as possible, and Lee also bothered KT's top foreign player Paris Bath (200 cm, F).

KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin also said after the third round, "Both teams played great matches like championship matches. I feel even better because we won a great match. More than anything else, many fans came, and we won the match. That's why I feel even better."

However, it was regrettable for KCC. Choi Joon-yong (200 cm, F) who needed to boost tension and energy felt heavy. In the third game, he had nine points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 24 minutes and 27 seconds, but his tension seemed to have dropped.

Of course, there is a reason. Choi took the heavy responsibility of "bath defense." It is difficult for him to stay in the court because he has to block Bath with various options. He also puts a lot of effort into defense, making it difficult to invest his physical strength in offense.

KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin also admitted that Choi had lost physical strength, saying, "(Choi Jun-yong's body) looked heavy. As I tried to overcome it, I was in a hurry. In normal times, I would have scored calmly or earned a basketball count."

Heo looked at Choi from a different perspective. Heo encouraged Choi, saying, "Instead of telling me (Choi) Jun-yong something, Jun-yong should wake up on his own. And he will come alive. Isn't he the best forward in Korea?"

The reason Choi Jun-yong needs to come to life. Choi Jun-yong needs to boost his energy so that “Choi Jun-yong, Song Kyo-chang, Lee Seung-hyun, Ra Gun-ah” can come out evenly. If the energy of KCC's tall resources is evenly distributed, the vitality of the entire KCC can increase.

KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin also said, "(He) Woong and (Song) Kyo-chang played more than expected in the championship match. I overstretched myself because I should not have given up the third round." In addition, Woong and Kyo-chang had to rest depending on their conditions. But that didn't happen," he said, referring to Choi's importance.

As mentioned above, Choi Jun-yong is a KCC key player. He is also the one who should best embody the color of KCC. If KCC shows performances such as the semi-final play-off and the semi-final play-off, KCC will also have an advantage in the championship game. That is why KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin highly valued Choi's weight. And Heo Woong was sure of Choi's performance improvement.
