[투데이★] Mobis Jang Jae-seok, who scored the final goal, “I practiced a lot of free throws during the break”

[점프볼=울산/임종호 기자] Ulsan Hyundai Mobis managed to add 1 win, showing off its hot attack power.

Hyundai Mobis, who played an active part in Jang Jae-seok (30, 203 cm), won the 5th round match 99-96 against Busan KT in 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball held at the Dongcheon Gymnasium in Ulsan on the 24th. Thanks to Jang Jae-seok’s final goal at the end of the game, Hyundai Mobis laughed at the first match of the season, gaining 25 wins (15 losses) and running 3 consecutive wins. As a result, Hyundai Mobis narrowed the gap with the leading KCC to two games.

Jang Jae-seok, who scored the final goal, led the team victory with 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 26 minutes and 12 seconds.

Jang Jae-seok, who visited the interview room as an award-winning player, said, “It was very important to be the first game after the break, and I am happy to win. The team members seemed to have a better performance because they only thought about victory. In addition, Sean Long put five three-point shots, and he practiced a lot during his break. It seems that it was a great force in the pursuit.”

Hyundai Mobis showed off a hot fire show by engaging in a massive scuffle from the beginning. Just before the end of the game, Jae-seok Jang approached victory and scored the final score and led the team’s three consecutive victories.

Looking back at the last minute, he said, “I made a lot of mistakes before that. So when I stood in front of the free throw line at the last minute, I thought I had to put it in. In fact, I went in to catch a rebound and the ball fell in front of me, and it was a great opportunity. It seems that it helped to practice hard with coach Park Gu-young during the break. When I throw a free throw than before, my confidence has changed. (Park Gu-young) The coach told me to stay a little before shooting and then shoot. I threw it according to the advice and it went well.”

Jang Jae-seok, who continued to talk, said, “I think there was a good result thanks to the hard run. Me and (Ham) Jihoon and this hyung have strengths in the post, so I tried to dig into that part. I tried to attack more aggressively, and I tried to play with the guards more.”

For Hyundai Mobis, rookie Woo-seok Lee had a debut match on this day. Regarding this, Jang Jae-seok said, “I wasn’t doing better than my debut (laughs), but I really liked my confidence. When I asked’Will you do well’ before the game, they said’I can do well without being nervous.’ It was the first game after the fans visited the stadium today, so (Lee) Woo-seok is nervous, but I think he played a play that gives vitality to the team.”

Jang Jae-seok, who moved to Hyundai Mobis ahead of this season, is making a big contribution to the team victory by raising the pace in the second half. Jang Jae-seok, who usually steps on the court in the second quarter, was asked if he was greedy for the Six Man Award. “I think the Six Man Award should be given to players who change the atmosphere of the team. There are too many such players on our team. (Lee) Hyunmin hyung, (Kim) Mingu, (Jeong) Seongho, (Choi) Jinsu hyung, and (Former) Junbeom seem to change the atmosphere of the team a lot. I played 4 games at the beginning of the season, but I remember losing all of the teams. So it is true that it is burdensome to receive the Six Man Award. I would be grateful if you gave it to me, but I hope my teammates will receive it.”

Hyundai Mobis, who spurred the lead pursuit, will hunt for 4 consecutive wins against Orion in Goyang on the 28th.
