It was the day Lee Jung-hyun dominated perfectly.

Lee Jung-hyun exploded 43 points. In one game, he became the perfect regular league MVP candidate.

After the game on the 20th, he said "I had cramps for the first time while playing basketball. I think it's because I tried to pour out my energy from the beginning and I put strong defense pressure."



He urgently signed a replacement on the bench at the end of the fourth quarter. Fell to the court, couldn't get up for a while. Because I had muscle spasms. Fortunately, there is no particular problem.

"I think the overall team energy overwhelmed the opponent, so I was able to easily solve today's game. I prepared a few offensive options, but I thought the strongest option was 2-2, and I thought there was a weakness in Hyundai Mobis' 2-2 defense. Defensively, trap or help defense seems to have worked well.'



This season's judging standards have become very tight.

Lee Jung-hyun "I think this call is normal. It's a foul, and it may not be called, but it's the same for any league or national team. I think basic skills, technology, and physicality have become very important. think strongly of the play"It's changed to a new member this season, and the brothers have so many advantages. There are advantages that can help me. I'm going to use it and play basketball together. Personally, I took a lot of weight training and core exercises in the offseason, and I took more training than ever. I personally didn't know the foul standard, but I set the standard to some extent in the cup, and I tried to make a move to overcome it rather than induce a foul" he said.



"Last season, I felt that LG's defensive system was solid. However, there are many changes in the members this season. The same goes for us and for the nine clubs. I think it'll be fun to give it a try."

Sono will face KCC. The DeYonte button is holding up. Lee Jung-hyun is so good at the button. I'm not going to do a matchup myself, but if I overpower it with high energy, I think I'll be able to play well"I got cramps for the first time today while playing basketball. Pressing hard, aggressive??I think it's the door."

Heo Hoon jokingly said of Lee Jung-hyun's stellar performance in the offseason "When we were in the national team together, he stole a lot of skills and used them well. an extraordinary player."
