[마이데일리 = 잠실학생체 최창환 기자] “I’ve been together for the third season, and I think the condition is the best this season. He is a player with nothing to nag.” It was the praise of director Seo Dong-cheol to Busan KT captain Kim Young-hwan.
Busan KT, led by coach Seo Dong-cheol, will play the 2020-2021 Hyundai Mobis professional basketball regular league away game against Seoul SK at the Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 27th.
KT, who had lost 7 consecutive losses at the beginning of the season, quickly ran out of two foreign player replacement cards. In addition, the rookie Park Ji-won was also added, and the atmosphere changed quickly. After 7 consecutive victories, he recovered a 50% win rate, and has continued to compete in the middle ranks since.
Captain Kim Young-hwan’s performance is also indispensable. Kim Young-hwan is active in 22 games this season with 12.6 points, 3 points, 1.9, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists for an average of 32 minutes and 57 seconds. This is the first time since the 2016-2017 season that Kim Young-hwan has scored an average of two digits.
Coach Seo Dong-cheol said to Kim Young-hwan, “He is a really strong player not only in his performance on the court but also in his role as a senior. We’ve been together for the third season, and this season seems to be in the best condition. Everything is possible except for the first role.”
It was also a good thing for Kim Young-hwan to shake off the pain while undergoing ankle surgery in the off-season. Coach Seo Dong-cheol said, “Last season, I ran with ankle pain. I had surgery to remove bone fragments during the off-season, and they said’I have a light body’. Self-management is so thorough. His performance after surgery depends on how he performs rehabilitation.
