[투데이★] Choi Jin-soo, who was also surprised, “Jump jumps higher than expected”

[점프볼=고양/최설 인터넷기자] “I was surprised to jump higher than I thought. I didn’t have time to celebrate.” Choi Jin-soo, who made two dunk shots in the game that day, remembered that moment like this.

Ulsan Hyundai Mobis, led by Choi Jin-soo, won 77-76 in the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball game Goyang Orion held at the Goyang Gymnasium on the 28th. Choi Jin-soo, the protagonist of the winning goal, shot a dunk shot in the 4th and 5th season of the match and presented a painful defeat to Orion.

Choi Jin-soo led the victory by giving the team a goal in the right place with 12 points and 5 rebounds. Thanks to Choi Jin-soo’s performance, Hyundai Mobis continued to run a pleasant four straight wins and beat Orion’s fierce pursuit. In addition, he gained 26 wins (15 losses) in the season and widened the gap with Orion again by three games. In this season, he also advanced 3-2 against Orion.

Choi Jin-soo, who met after the game, said, “Today was a very important game. He is currently running in second place, and I met Orion in third place. It was a tough match. However, it was more meaningful to be able to overcome the chasing Orion and provide a foothold to climb upwards.”

As he said, the confrontation between the two teams was as fierce as the pride of second and third place. The momentum at the beginning of the game was captured by Orion. However, Hyundai Mobis also followed without falling behind. In the end, Hyundai Mobis, who succeeded in reversing from the second half of the third quarter, won the final shot in the fourth quarter.

Jinsu Choi said, “I was in good shape today. In the second quarter, I ran higher than I thought, and I was surprised by myself. It was a great dunk shot, so I should have had a ceremony, but I was so surprised that I couldn’t think of that.”

Also, regarding the last dunk, “(Shaun) Long told him to take a good look at the chance that a double team might be coming. So I was on the side and watching the space. Eventually the ball came to me, and honestly, I thought I should shoot whether I put it in or not. I was happy that it led to a good result.”

This season, Jinsu Choi shines not only in attack power, but also in defense. Unlike in the past, it is now helping the team in defense as well.

“After being traded, coach Yoo Jae-hak makes a lot of orders in defense. It is also receiving a lot of emphasis. It almost became a half-length as the year was piled up, but I’m glad that both of these recently helped the team. I’m also under a lot of stress, but I’m happy.”

“I want to run to No. 1 since I’ve come this far. I want to win all the matches and I will play with that mindset.”
