A foreign ace with 40 points meets a native ace with 43 points.

It is a game between Busan KCC and Goyang Sono in the regular KCC professional basketball league in the 2024-2025 season, which will be held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan at 7 p.m. on the 23rd.

In KCC, DeYonte Burton became the best foreign player in the league in one game.



It has been upgraded to a higher level than when I played in Wonju DB seven years ago.

After his NBA career with the Oklahoma City Thunder, he joined KCC after twists and turns.



The skill itself was strong, but there were doubts. Burton lost about 10kg to adapt to the NBA transition, and it was a question of whether Burton, whose power was reduced, could take control. The bad news of Choi Joon-yong and Song Kyo-chang missing early in the season also overlapped. However, he scored 40 points in the first game against Suwon KT on the 19th. He grabbed 16 rebounds. Four blocks and four stills. In addition, he played 40 minutes and overcame the mismatched defense perfectly. In short, it was crazy dominance.

A day later, in Ulsan, Goyang Sono ace Lee Jung-hyun thoroughly destroyed the outskirts of Hyundai Mobis.



He exploded 43 points, added seven assists and four steals.

Lee Jung-hyun, who became Sono's ace last season, has been upgraded in the offseason. He said "I took a lot of training to adapt to more physical basketball."

Both power and technique have increased. He has grown into the ace of the Korean national team in the warm-up match against Japan.

The upgraded Lee Jung-hyun dominated the game perfectly. He displayed superb three-point step-back shooting, under-the-goal breakthrough, and mid-jumper. He had a 2-2 attack on Allen Williams and a sharp pass to save his teammate.
