Lee Jeong-hyeon, The Best Guard in Professional Basketball

Lee Jeong-hyeon, The Best Guard in Professional Basketball, "Hyun-joong was on a Different Level... I was Stimulated by Him"

38-point explosion against Hyundai Mobis… After 23 seasons, he scored over 30 points in 3 consecutive games and said, "I too am going up one level" to the performance of my youth national team teammate Lee Hyeon-joong.

“He is actually a foreign player.

Even if he blocks, he scores 30 points." 온라인카지노

This is the evaluation given by Cho Dong-hyun, coach of professional basketball Ulsan Hyundai Mobis, to Lee Jeong-hyun (Sono), who has risen to the top guard this season.

Like the enemy's evaluation, Lee Jeong-hyun will play against Hyundai Mobis in the 2023-2024 Jeong Kwan-jang Professional Basketball Regular League held at Goyang Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 22nd.

He scored 38 points in the home game (102-87 win), scoring over 30 points in three consecutive games, following the game against Korea Gas Corporation in Daegu on the 17th (35 points) and the game against SK on the 19th.

In professional basketball, this is the first time a domestic player has scored more than 30 points in three consecutive games since Cho Seong-won in the 2000-2001 season.

Lee Jung-hyun, who scored 22.6 points in 42 games this season, became the first domestic player in 13 years to average more than 20 points.

Even if Lee Jeong-hyun does not score a single point in Sono's remaining two games, the 20-point barrier will be exceeded.

The last time was Moon Tae-young (22.04 points) in the 2010-2011 season.

If we narrow the scope to those from the domestic player draft, it goes back to Bang Seong-yoon (22.09 points) in the 2007-2008 season.

Although he has grown to the point of rewriting the history of professional basketball, Lee Jeong-hyun wants to develop further.

Forward Lee Hyun-joong (Illawarra), a teammate during his time with the youth national team, recently gave Lee Jeong-hyun a lot of encouragement.

Lee Hyun-joong, who is considered Korea's most talented forward, was born in 2000 and is one year younger than Lee Jeong-hyun.

Lee Hyun-joong, who headed to the Australian professional basketball league with the goal of advancing to the National Basketball Association (NBA), is currently playing in the Japanese B-League for a while as the league schedule ends.

Lee Hyeon-joong, who made his Japanese debut wearing the Osaka Evesa uniform on the 20th, showed off his skills at a higher level with Japanese players and scored 24 points.

Lee Jeong-hyeon said, "I watched the edited video of that game.

I thought the level was really different.

They scored with an extremely high success rate through various attack routes.

The level has changed."

He added, "Of course, I was stimulated.

I'm not saying I'm going to challenge overseas right now, but I think I'll have to work hard and work my way up slowly, one level at a time (like Lee Hyun-joong)."

Instead of knocking on the door of a domestic university or KBL, Lee Hyun-joong entered Davidson University, a member of the National Collegiate Sports Association (NCAA), and was exposed to advanced basketball from an early age.

Lee Jeong-hyeon is growing up in a different path than Lee Hyun-joong.

He is dominating his domestic stage under the intensive training of coach Kim Seung-gi and Goyang Sono.

Sono's foreign player Chinanu Onuaku also acknowledges Lee Jung-hyun's skills.

According to Director Kim's expression, only Lee Jeong-hyun can be found.

If Lee Jeong-hyun is on the court, he finds Lee Jeong-hyun and passes, but if Lee Jeong-hyun is not there, he rarely passes the ball to other domestic guards.

Onuaku also played in the NBA and also has experience in the Spanish league, which is considered the second highest level league after the United States.

Lee Jeong-hyeon said, "We trust each other.

We have a lot of competitions during training and games, and we have the trust that it's okay even if we make mistakes.

I'm thankful that we always fight and protect each other under the goal."

Onuaku recorded 27 points and 23 rebounds on this day, single-handedly defeating Hyundai Mobis' Big Man Jin, who was held up by Gage Prim.

Lee Jeong-hyeon, who said he learned how to be an ‘assault leader’ by watching last season’s regular league MVP (MVP) Kim Seon-hyung (SK), feels heavy just thinking about the team’s performance.

Lee Jeong-hyeon is playing the best performance of his career, but Sono fell to 8th place (19 wins, 33 losses) and failed to advance to the semifinals of the playoffs (PO).

Lee Jeong-hyeon said, "Even if it was as difficult as today's game, if (I) had taken responsibility and led the team to victory until the end, we would have achieved more victories, but it is disappointing.

We have suffered so many losses this season.

We will definitely grow even more next season."
