DeYonte Burton scored 40 points. The defense was mostly a mismatch.

The burden of offense and defense has been maximized. In addition, Moon Jung-hyun, Moon Sung-gon, and the league's top defenders were in intensive check. Burton got over it. led KCC to victory.

The first word after the game was "Thank you to your teammates".



In an official interview after winning the game against KT in Busan on the 19th, he said, `There are a lot of injuries, but was there support from the team members??There was a good performance in the door."

There was an intensive check by KT. But as Burton grew up, the physical part has always been fought. The same was true of today's game. I felt like I was playing in my hometown" he said.



I had good harmony with Lee Seung-hyun. "As I joined the KCC, I had a good feeling that my harmony with Lee Seung-hyun would be good, and I confirmed it in this game. "

On the comparison of his performance seven years ago, he asked, `Did my performance improve?' but he thinks it has improved. I tried for seven years to grow not only in terms of basketball but also off the court. I think the league has improved physically compared to seven years ago."



The button "I think the experience has been accumulated. I think experience is the best teacher. The sport of basketball is a part of performing repetitive parts, and it seems that growth has been achieved while training."

There are continuous mismatches. In KCC, Leon Williams will play normally in KCC's next game against LG. However, Burton is still an option 1 and an absolute ace.

We have to play the defense of the big men with Lee Seung-hyun.
