It is 'Lockdown Defender', which is maximizing its power against the changed judgment criteria this season.
The KBL referee department is setting a judgment standard that allows physical fighting as much as possible this season. There are some side effects, but it's positive for now. Players who have not broken the flow of the game and have strengthened their physical strength through faithful training in the off-season are standing out.
Oh Jae-hyun and Kim Dong-hyun are at the center of it.
The two players are defenders representing SK and KCC.
Oh Jae-hyun rose to the top defensive position last season. After finishing my third year at Hanyang University, I entered the KBL as an early draft.
At that time, evaluations were mixed. He admits strong defense, excellent power and activity, but there was a lot of anxiety in shooting.
Underrated due to bad shooting mechanisms. In the end, he expected to be selected as the subordinate of the first round, but was eventually nominated by SK as the first priority of the second round.
He is a weight addict. I was selected for this year's national team and there was an injury. However, the weight didn't rest in the meantime.
His power comes from his defense and ability to play.
Last Wonju DB match. Last season's regular league MVP, Lee Sun-bano, was simply tied up. Albano scored just two points while running 21 minutes and 50 seconds. In the end, DB had no choice but to struggle with the main ball handler's poor performance.
Most experts evaluated that "Oh Jae-hyun crushed Albano with his physical and defense." In the end, SK beat DB 77 to 72 and won two consecutive games.
He scored only three points, but Oh Jae-hyun was the top contributor to the victory.
KCC has Kim Dong-hyun. He defended KT Huh Hoon well in the last opening game. Huh Hoon, who had Kim Dong-hyun's strong close mark and wrist injury, scored only five points.
It wasn't just a one-off blast. The next opponent was Goyang Sono Lee Jung-hyun. Lee Jung-hyun is the league's best main ball handler, boasting his peak scoring ability, which exploded 43 points against Hyundai Mobis.
However, Kim Dong-hyun did not give in. He tied Lee Jung-hyun with active pressure and physicality. Lee Jung-hyun scored 14 points, but he clearly showed signs of being pushed back. Kim Dong-hyun played 35 minutes and scored 10 points.
Kim Dong-hyun's father and Sono head coach Kim Seung-ki also said, `Lee Jung-hyun was careless, but Lee Jung-hyun was pushed back as Kim Dong-hyun defended physically. From Lee Jung-hyun's point of view, it would be a good experience."
This season, Kim Dong-hyun is KCC's secret weapon. KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin said, `Kim Dong-hyun's active defense is encouraging. He is a player with strong power and speed. A player who can do much better than now."
