The promises made by Kim Jong-un (Bucheon Hana Bank), Lee Kyung-eun (Incheon Shinhan Bank), and best friend were firm.
Born in 1987, Kim Jong-un and Lee Kyung-eun made their professional debuts with the first and second overall picks in the 2006 rookie draft. The two have played for nearly 20 years and have become representative of the Korean women's basketball beyond the WKBL. Of course, it's not that the last time wasn't hard. I had a difficult time due to injuries or team performance. However, Kim Jong Un and Lee Kyung-eun did not collapse. I got back up and stepped on the coat. The two sisters have become a model for juniors with their unwavering skills this season. Kim Jong-un scored 8.1 points and 7.5 rebounds for an average of 27 minutes and 41 seconds in 12 league games this season. Lee left 8.1 points-2.5 assists in 21 minutes and 56 seconds in 15 league games.
Kim Jong-un said, "(Lee Kyung-eun) and I don't even remember how many years we have been friends. I've known since elementary school. Gyeong-eun has been said to be a genius since she was young. It was not a comparison with me. I was just a player going back and forth with a kettle. When I was in high school, I became close to him when I met him as a youth representative. They competed for the first or second place in the draft, and the national team was lucky to enter. Not to mention friendship," he said with a smile.
He "We talk about difficult things together. He says, 'Let's not change our mind because we are serious about basketball. He's a comforting friend. We were more dependent on each other because we had injuries. Kyung-eun was worse than me because her injuries were really serious. People don't know well, but there was a moment when Sir almost retired. These days, Kyung-eun is completely 'rejuvenated' He is more patient than I am. I think it deserves respect. We say 'Let's run hard and retire honorably until we are useful on the court to the end of each other. I'm rooting for you a lot. I hope you don't get hurt and finish it well. Thank you very much as always."
Lee Kyung-eun "If the team's performance is not good, the individual performance is not close to it. It is most important to do it without injury and without pain. I think there will be another opportunity if I endure it tirelessly."
Coincidentally, the two will clash in this year's first game at Bucheon Gymnasium on the 2nd. Lee Kyung-eun "We have to play a good game. There was a lot of talk about women's basketball, but we have to play a game where we can turn it upside down", foreshadowing a good-faith competition.
