A meaningful congratulatory message for Lee Hyun-joong's "best friend" Choi Jun-yong victory

"What are you doing in Korea? Go abroad!"

Lee Hyun-joong 23, Osaka, who is challenging the NBA, handed a congratulatory message with bones to KBL champion Choi Jun-yong 30, KCC.

At the KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on Saturday, the Busan KCC beat the Suwon KT 88-70 and won the title with four wins and one loss. Having moved to Busan from Jeonju last season, KCC created a new history of "first win for the fifth seed + first win for the Busan-based team in the 21st century." Huh Woong, who scored 21 points in the fifth game, was named the MVP of the championship. 토토사이트 추천

At a time when a new KBL champion was created, Korean players who play in the Japanese professional basketball league have also finished their regular league matches. Osaka's Lee Hyun-joong hit 20 points, including six three-point shots, and clinched the final match against Shimane with a 74-67 victory. Lee Hyun-joong was named MVP of the game.

At the same time, Lee Dae-sung led the team to a 79-72 victory, scoring 17 points in the final match against world leader Samwon Neofinix 46 wins and 14 losses. Mikawa 36 wins and 24 losses took second place in the Central Division and secured a playoff berth on her own.

Yang Jae-min of Sendai also scored 17 points and five rebounds for 24 minutes in the final match against Gunma, spearheading a landslide 98-79 victory. With 27 wins and 33 losses, Sendai finished the season in sixth place in the Eastern District. Jang Min-guk of Nagasaki contributed to its 82-65 victory against Kyoto by scoring nine points. Nagasaki 26-33 is sixth in the Western District with one game remaining.

At the time the reporter was interviewing Lee Hyun-joong, the second quarter of Game 5 of the KBL Champions was in progress. KCC has Choi Jun-yong, who became close to Lee Hyun-joong and the national team. He asked what kind of congratulatory message he would like to send if KCC won.

Lee Hyun-joong's answer was a masterpiece. "I always give a stimulus to you. If you win the MVP award, you'll be like, "What are you doing there in Korea?" He jokingly tells you to come overseas."

It was a significant message from Lee Hyun-joong that Choi Jun-yong should not be satisfied with winning the KBL and try overseas leagues like him. It is the best compliment that the KBL is narrow because Choi Jun-yong plays well.

In fact, Choi Jun-yong also thought of challenging Japanese professional basketball with Lee Dae-sung. Several Japanese teams showed interest in Choi Jun-yong before Choi Jun-yong and KCC signed last off-season. Choi Jun-yong dramatically joined KCC at the last minute, forming a "super team" and did not advance overseas.

Lee Dae-sung also laughed at a press conference to advance to the Japanese professional basketball, saying, "Choi Jun-yong, you said you were going abroad together, what happened?"

Choi, who can shoot, dribble, and pass at a height of 2 meters, is no match for Korea. Foreign players also cite Choi as the most unique Korean player. Choi, who entered his prime as a player, is not easy in reality to play abroad.

Park Ji-soo and Park Ji-hyun of the women's professional basketball league boldly chose to play in overseas leagues. Stable environment and high salary are guaranteed when playing in Korea, but they went out of the blue to improve their skills. Except for Lee Dae-sung, no player in the men's professional basketball league has come out yet to claim his reputation as a KBL player. Institutionally, it is not easy to guarantee that Lee Dae-sung, who used to be a FA like Korea Gas Corporation, will advance to overseas leagues.

"I hope Choi Jun-yong can win the championship as he wants without getting hurt," Lee Hyun-joong said, predicting KCC's victory. Choi was a substitute in Game 5, and showed all-weather performance with 17 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block.

Following his SK days, Choi once again won the KCC title as the main player, proving his worth. Will Choi really try to advance to overseas markets before the end of his heyday.
