[게임 리포트] Lee Jung-hyun, who repays the pain of his birthday two years ago, with’seol lust’

He recorded his best performance on the most happy day.

Jeonju KCC defeated Ulsan Hyundai Mobis 85-81 in the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis Professional Basketball Regular League held at the Ulsan Dongcheon Gymnasium on the 3rd. With a 29-13 loss, the gap with 2nd place Hyundai Mobis (26-16) was widened by 3 games. In addition, he gained an edge with 3 wins and 2 losses against Hyundai Mobis.

It was the lead fight. It was an important game. Both coaches didn’t speak, but they knew the importance. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin also confessed that it was an important game only after the game was over.

The reason why I was able to win an important game. There was Lee Jeong-hyun (189cm, G). Lee Jung-hyun only played 24 minutes and 58 seconds, but scattered 22 points. He scored 13 points in the second half and 8 points in the fourth quarter.

The reason Lee Jung-hyun scored a lot It was also a 2v2 development. 2v2 is Lee’s most powerful option. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin gave a notice that “I will do a lot of 2v2” before the game, and Lee Jung-hyun was able to show his strengths to his heart’s content.

After receiving a screen from Tyler Davis (208cm, C) or Laguna (199cm, C), Lee Junghyun faced a foreign player at Hyundai Mobis (Shaun Long-Vernon Macklin). In front of the foreign players of Hyundai Mobis, I wasn’t at all shy. Rather, with the timing and steps, I dealt with the foreign players of Hyundai Mobis leisurely.

Even if you don’t score, you get a foul free throw. Lee Jung-hyun tried 15 free throws that day (the number of free throws attempted by Hyundai Mobis: 19) and succeeded 14. The number of successful free throws of Lee Jung-hyun on this day was more than the number of successful free throws of Hyundai Mobis (12).

When KCC was chased by 79-78, Lee Jung-hyun shined. In the process of inducing free throws following 2v2 or carrying the ball, he calmly succeeded in the four free throws given to him. Thanks to this, the KCC escaped to 83-78 and ended a tough game.

Such Lee Jung-hyun could not be mentioned in the interview room. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin mentioned Lee Jung-hyun’s name, saying, “Lee Jung-hyun played his part well in an important game.”

Lee Jung-hyun also said, “It was an important game. In the fourth round, we played an easy game, but today everyone was focused and wanted to win. That seems to have led to victory.” He entered the interview room.

He continued, “The director suggested that we take advantage of Hyundai Mobis’ 2v2 defense weakness. He even ordered Sean Long to drop his health. What I can do well is 2v2, but it seems that I have shown my performance after a long time.” He mentioned the reason why I was able to solve the game well as ‘2v2’.

He continued, “Again, Tyler and (La)Geon-ah hung the screen well. It was difficult for the other person to position, and he was right. And if there is anything different from before, it was to stand up and play 2v2. When I went to the bottom of the goal, I prepared to subtract when the opponent’s help defense came. I think it worked well because all of our players can throw 3 points.”

Lee Jung-hyun was his birthday on this day. The game started with the congratulations of many people. I was able to play in a good mood. Also, since the team won the lead fight, Lee Jung-hyun’s mood rose to the full.

After his professional debut, Lee Jung-hyun celebrated his 3rd birthday at the stadium. Unfortunately, I met Hyundai Mobis on my birthday two years ago. However, it was completely defeated by Hyundai Mobis in 87-98 at the time. Lee Jung-hyun recorded a double-double, but Lee Jung-hyun’s birthday two years ago didn’t end well.

But this time it was different. The unity of his colleagues and Lee Jung-hyun’s performance as a match made Lee Jung-hyun’s birthday game feel good.

Lee Jung-hyun said, “Today was my birthday, and I received congratulations from many fans. In addition, the manager, players, and club officials congratulated them. Thanks to you, I have a lot of strength.” He expressed his gratitude to everyone who celebrated his birthday.

He continued, “I think I played on my birthday after a long time. It was an opponent I had to win rather than that, and I think I played good because I was focused.” I have personal joy, but I was more pleased that the team could have an edge in the lead fight. Because of that, Lee Jung-hyun’s 2021 birthday looked perfect.
