Now he looks a bit like an old man. He’s used to it. It’s a new “feel” surrounding Heo Hoon (30, 180 cm, guard) in the early days of this season. Of course, it’s a good idea of walking. It’s because he feels like he has removed his unique sense of playfulness while serving as captain.
Heo Hoon played in the first round of the 2024-25 KCC professional basketball game against Daegu Gas Corporation at Daegu Indoor Stadium on Saturday. He ran a whopping 39 minutes and 51 seconds. He recorded 18 points, two rebounds, and two assists and two steals, including one three-point shot.
Suwon KT, where Heo Hoon worked hard, had Ration Hemmonds (19 points and 14 rebounds), Ha Yoon-ki (16 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists), and Han Hee-won (10 points) fought hard, but failed to maintain their absolute advantage until the middle of the fourth quarter and lost 74-82. It was a regrettable match. As a result, KT’s team won four games and lost three games to fall to the fifth place.
Heo Hoon’s strong determination to quell the Korea Gas Corporation`s gust seemed unique from the start of the game. He seemed to be more focused than any other game, and he played all 10 minutes in the first quarter by starting, leaving nine points, one rebound and one assist.
A 100-percent field goal was a bonus. Hur led the team in offense and played 200 percent of the time. He ran 9:51 of the second quarter. He added four points and one assist. Power and confident play were a bonus. Calmness based on concentration was also outstanding in the first half. One turnover was “seasoning.” He led the team by eight points with 47-39. He broke the mark by adding a jumper to the breakthrough, instead of three points.
In the third quarter, Huh Hoon played all 10 minutes again. He left four points, two rebounds, and two assists. He focused on game management and reviving teammates, and it was 10 minutes that left KT to play a role as a guard in leading 68-57, 11 points.
In the fourth quarter, Huh Hoon played all 10 minutes again, but only left a court margin of -19. He scored one point on free throws, failed on all five field throws, including two 3-pointers, and committed two turnovers. It was fatal. It was a regrettable last quarter for Huh Hoon, who tried to keep the lead with his hands and continue his winning streak.
He failed to protect the team by leaving a regret in three keywords: physical strength, decreased concentration, and opponent’s concentration mark due to not a few playing time.
After the game, coach Song Young-jin said, “The players ran so hard. The second half was not bad either. I didn’t endure the last. I think it was physical. The opponent’s shot was good, too. The mood was taken away momentarily. He lost. “I used two guards to prepare for the opponent’s strength. There was little room to turn. I feel sorry for Heo Hoon. I was strong in my will to win. I was weak in the end. There are difficult parts.” 스포츠토토
As mentioned earlier, Heo Hoon displayed a grim look on behalf of his unique smile. As such, he displayed strong commitment to block Korea Gas Corporation from winning consecutive games, which has been creating a sensation in the early days of this season. However, he had to overcome the final crisis and witness a come-from-behind defeat.
Heo Hoon seems to have matured to the fullest. I hope that the game will come as a bitter supplement to her.
