Busan KCC Egis won 91-84 in the game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus in the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Regular League held at Busan Sajik Gymnasium on the 27th.
On this day, Heo Woong led KCC to victory with 21 points. He was very active not only by scoring goals but also by making organic plays that saved his teammates.
Heo Woong expressed his feelings about the victory, saying, “The players were worried a lot because we didn’t have good performance even though we had good members, but I feel good because it seems like things have improved a little.”
On this day, KCC showed aggressive basketball with a high energy level from the beginning of the game.
Heo Woong said, "There are many good players without any holes, and I think the backup players are also good. I thought about how I could maximize the performance with these players, and the conclusion was flex and motion offense. When playing motion offense, I score points through defensive movements. He said, “I think the opposing moves were appropriate for the situation and the players were good at basketball, so the scores were evenly distributed.”
He continued, "There are clear things the coach wants and there are clear things the players want. The players also have their own individual thoughts, but the best advantage is that there are no perfect players. It's good not only in terms of basketball, but also externally. When I can't play. I don't think that saying, 'Let's work hard from now on and focus on playing' will improve the fundamentals. I thought that each player had to flex in order to play the basketball they pursue. If the five players move well while playing organic basketball, they will score. “This is basketball that can be played,” he said, explaining the attack that day.
It is said that there have been changes in defense, which is KCC's biggest challenge.
Heo Woong said, "Coach emphasized under defense, but even if the opponent doesn't have a shot, 3 points are awarded. Rather than that type of defense, I thought about the two defenses we can play best. The first is 2, 3, 4, 5. “The goal is to make it possible for anyone to play basketball comfortably through switch defense by standing tall at the back, and the second is hedgeback. Our players are most confident in switch, hedgeback, and zone defense, so we will continue to defend like this in the future.”
Meanwhile, the first Heo Brothers match of the season will be held on the 30th. This is because Heo Woong’s younger brother, Heo Hoon, returned to KT after being discharged from the military.
Heo Woong said, "I don't particularly care about KT just because (Heo) Hoon is coming. Rather than adjusting to the opponent's defense or blocking someone before the game, we make the opposing team think about who they will block
when we go into the game." "I think that's important. If we do that, the opponent will be attracted to us. (Lee) Seung-hyeon and (La) Geon-ah talked in detail about basketball. If they regain their skills and do better, I think we will become a stronger team." He said,
