(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-chan = “Did you know we’d meet again with this team?”

This is a question to Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Choi Jin-soo (32·203 cm) and Jang Jae-seok (30·203 cm), who entered the interview with the best athlete after winning the match against Seoul Samsung held at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 23rd.

In the game, Jang Jae-seok scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, steals, and block shots, and Choi Jin-su scored 11 points, 6 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block shot.

The two played together for Goyang Orion until last season.

Choi Jin-soo wore the Orion uniform from her debut in the 2011-2012 season, and from the middle of the 2013-2014 season when Jang Jae-seok was traded from kt in Busan to Orion until last season, the two were Orion teammates.

However, after the 2019-2020 season, Jae-seok Jang, who obtained the free agent qualification (FA), first transferred to Hyundai Mobis, and Choi Jin-soo became the same team again as he traded with Hyundai Mobis Lee Jong-hyun in November last year.

Until the end of December of last year, Hyundai Mobis had a win rate of just over 50% with a win rate of 13-12.

As Choi Jin-soo and Jang Jae-seok gradually melt into the team, Hyundai Mobis has become the driving force that has been designated as a’match-horse’ of the leading Jeonju KCC, which has been running 12 consecutive victories.

They both shook their heads to the question,’Did you know we’d meet again with this team?’ but agreed that the team’s power will become stronger as the season progresses.

Choi Jin-soo explained, “I am working on a new team with an attitude that all karate learns from the beginning,” and “I am playing guard and small forward defense at Hyundai Mobis, and I am learning while having fun as coach (Jae-hak Yoo) teaches.”

He introduced, “I was worried because the shot didn’t go in after the transfer, but the manager gave me confidence that’if you contribute to the team while doing defense or rebounding, the shot will come someday.

Jang Jae-seok also said, “I practiced shooting a lot in the off-season,” and said, “The director says that you need to shoot a lot of middle shots, and points out that you should have a spare time.”

Jang Jae-seok also said, “The coach directs one pass in detail, but if you follow it, it will work well in the game.” He said, “Because Sean Long and (ham) Ji-hoon have a good breath, I will work harder and contribute to the team.” I promised.

Hyundai Mobis immediately moves to Ulsan and faces Orion, the’parent team’ of Choi Jin-soo and Jang Jae-seok on the 24th.

Hyundai Mobis is in second place with 19 wins and 13 losses, and Orion is in third place with 18 wins and 13 losses.
