Yang Jun-seok, the first rookie in professional basketball, “LG is a team with hot fans”

“I want to advance to the PO with Jae-do Lee and Kwan-hee Lee … long shooting distance is my strength”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Eui-jin = “The team called LG was a team with the enthusiasm and shouting of the fans.”

Yang Jun-seok (21·180 cm), the 2022 professional basketball rookie overall, was delighted to have joined the team that best suited him in a press conference after his nomination held at the Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Seoul on the 27th. .

Changwon LG, led by director Jo Sang-hyun, was appointed as Yonsei University’s guardian, Yang Jun-seok.

Yang Jun-seok said, “It is a team with Lee Jae-do and Lee Kwan-hee, the representative guards of the KBL. We will learn by hitting each other a lot.”

He said, “I want to work well with my brothers and advance to the playoffs this season.” LG finished 7th in the regular league last season and unfortunately did not progress to the semi-final PO.

Yang Jun-seok, who is evaluated as the best point guard in college, is considered to be his biggest strength during the game, along with shooting and ball handling.

Since his freshman year, he was recognized for his skills by gaining time to compete even among prominent school seniors such as Park Ji-won (kt) and Lee Jeong-hyeon (Moonen).

From last year, as a sophomore, he and Lee Jung-hyun formed the Yonsei University backcourt and led the team.

In May and June last year, he played against Korea University, which is considered the strongest power in the university, and played an active role with 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 15 points and 7 rebounds, respectively, and announced that was at the highest level.

Yang Jun-seok said, “I think game control, passing and shooting are better than other guards.

In fact, unlike other players who shoot near the 3-point line, Yang Jun-seok threw an outside cannon far behind the line in the college league, making it difficult for defenders.

Earlier, on the 20th, after meeting with reporters right after the draft combine held at the KBL Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, he showed confidence, saying, “If I succeed with even three points of long distance, no coach will stop. me. Rather, I will allow it.”

Yang Jun-seok, who is still in his third year of college, declared a professional challenge before graduation.

This is because Yang Jun-seok, who was unable to play for a long time due to a cruciate ligament injury to the knee in April this year, needed a great environment to focus on basketball.

Immediately after the nomination, he came up on stage and looked back, saying, “I had a really hard time with injury.”

Yang Jun-seok said that Lee Hyun-joong, who is challenging the NBA during a difficult period, has been a great help mentally.

He added, “After being hurt, Hyunjoong hyung made a video call every day in the United States. I plan to finish it quickly and talk to hyung and eat dinner.”

He said he is also looking forward to reuniting with director Eun Hee-seok, who was a teacher during his college days and is now the head coach of Seoul Samsung.

Yang Jun-seok laughed, saying, “I’m looking forward to it. I have a lot of good memories with the director, but I think it would be awkward if I met an enemy in a pro. “

Yang Jun-seok, who has been playing basketball while watching KBL since childhood, did not identify as a role model.

When asked if there is a player he would like to emulate, he said, “I always give the same answer to these questions. There are so many good players in the KBL that I can’t pick just one.”

Yang Jun-seok, who is in rehabilitation, cannot help the team at this time.

Yang Jun-seok said, “Right now, I’m throwing a lot of shots and running. I’m training on the court. “He said, “It’s hard to say when I will return. If I can get my body ready to play quickly, it will be possible for me to come back sooner.”
