PO in the Semifinals Averaged 9 Points... Heo Hoon, Must Survive to Win the ‘Final Showdown’ with his Brother

The score ‘dropped’ compared to the 6th round PO who scored 20 points each… Director Song Young-jin said, “Heo Hoon has to do it.”

He kept KCC in check immediately after his discharge… Heo Woong performed without ups and downs as PO.

Heo Hoon, the star of professional basketball team Suwon KT, became a ‘civilian’ on November 15th last year.

Heo Hoon, who finished his service in the Armed Forces Athletic Corps on this day, immediately joined his team's training.

Heo Hoon declared that this was a season with a higher ‘probability of winning’ than ever since joining KT.

Coincidentally, it was Busan KCC that Heo Hoon selected as the ‘most controlled team’ at the time.

Heo Hoon laughed about KCC, saying, “That team has too many players to keep in check.”

At the same time, he pointed out, "KCC is not important right now anyway.

The 4th and 5th rounds are important, so if their organizational skills are improved, they will become a truly scary team."

Heo Hoon's prophecy became a reality.

KCC was the last opponent of KT, which defeated Changwon LG with a difficult score of 3 wins and 2 losses in the semifinal playoffs (PO) that lasted until the 25th.

His older brother, Heo Woong, is the main player, and star forward Choi Jun-yong, who has been close with him since their days at Yonsei University, is the key player.

National team forward Song Kyo-chang, who was in the same room at the Armed Forces Athletic Corps, is also active at KCC.

KCC, which showed ups and downs in performance throughout the season, finished in 5th place in the regular league, but its upward trend toward the end was sharp.

Under Heo Woong's leadership, the team got back on track by showing 'fast basketball' at the end of the regular season.

In the 6th round PO, they defeated Seoul SK with 3 consecutive wins, and in the 4th round PO, they defeated regular league champion DB with 3 wins and 1 loss.

KT coach Song Young-jin emphasized that Heo Hoon must play an active role in order to catch KCC, which is rapidly gaining momentum.

Coach Song, who finished the semifinal PO final match against LG on the 25th, said, "Heo Hoon has to come back to life. Heo Hoon has to do it."

In fact, the player who led the fierce battle with LG in the semifinals was not Heo Hoon but Paris Bass.

Bath scored 40 points in the 5th game, scoring an average of 26.2 points in each of the 5 games, frustrating coach Cho Sang-hyun, who led LG.

On the other hand, Heo Hoon, who forms a one-two punch with Bass, averaged only 9.2 points in five games.

Heo Hoon could not easily overcome LG's strong perimeter defense, which was the lowest scoring team in the regular season (76.9 points).

His field goal success rate was only 30.8%.

In particular, in the first PO game of the semifinals, only 2 points were scored.

It was Heo Hoon's lowest scoring game this season, including the regular season and PO.

Heo Hoon, who failed to score double digits in the second game (8 points), actually scored only 6 points in the fifth game, which ended with KT's thrilling comeback win.

He committed four errors.

KT, which was down to 16 points in the first half, made a comeback with a fierce attack in the third quarter.

Coach Song removed Heo Hoon during this process and ran the team centered on Bass.

In order for Bass to focus on attack, Jeong Sung-woo, Moon Jeong-hyeon, and Moon Seong-gon, who are strong in defense, were sent out together, and this match was successful.

Heo Hoon was in full swing even until the 6th round PO.

He averaged 20.5 points in 4 PO games in the semifinals against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis.

Coach Song knows that even if Bass alone can overcome LG with a strong performance, it will not be enough to catch KCC.

So, I hope Heo Hoon works hard.

Coach Song said, “I think the game will go well for (Heo) Hoon if he attacks after accumulating 4 or 5 assists, but he seems to be focusing on scoring.”

“You have to solve it well to go in a favorable direction,” he said.

Bass also has the same thoughts as Director Song.

Heo Hoon's help is needed to achieve the desired victory.

Bass said, “Heo Hoon has had a lot of injuries.

He is not in 100% condition,” and added, “He needs to find his rhythm.”

He added, "If we shake off the injury and get back in shape, our link play will also revive.

If that happens, there will be no problems in the future."

KCC's Heo Woong, who dominated the semifinal stage early and waited on the other side, is playing stably as a PO.

He averaged 16.7 points (45.5% field goal success rate) in 3 PO games in the semifinals and 15.8 points in 4 PO games in the semifinals.

His field goal success rate rose significantly to 55.3% in the quarterfinals PO.

The two teams, who are about to face the full-scale 'Heo Brothers Showdown', will play the first game of the 7-game, 4-win championship at Suwon KT Arena at 2 PM on the 27th.
