Bae Hyun-sik led the team’s winning streak with a big performance.
Kyung Hee University won 65-55 against Myongji University in the 2024 KUSF University Basketball U-League at Myongji University’s Natura Campus Gymnasium on Sunday.
With the win, Kyung Hee University won its second straight game and moved into a tie for fifth place in the standings. Freshman Bae Hyun-sik (25 points, 13 rebounds) led the team to victory with a 카지노사이트킴 Hong Gil-dong-like presence.
“It was our first away game in a long time, and we didn’t match up well with each other in the first half, but I think the team’s mood improved a lot in the second half when we made three-pointers. We played well from the third quarter, which was the driving force behind our victory.”
Kyung Hee University was worried because they didn’t hit a three-pointer until the third quarter, but Bae Hyeon-sik hit three three-pointers in the fourth quarter.
“My shots didn’t go in, but I didn’t think much about losing. If you keep focusing and playing the game, your usual play will come out, so I tried to wait for it and keep playing steadily.”
Playing as an ace as a freshman is not easy, but Bae said she doesn’t feel pressured by the role.
“As a freshman, I don’t have many roles to play, but I’m not overwhelmed. If I can lead the team to victory by working harder, I will try my best to be a good player,” he emphasized.
Coach Kim Hyun-guk said that Bae has good ball-handling and post-up skills, and that he is willing to try him out as a guard instead of a forward. He also has a decent three-point percentage of 38.7 percent.
“I think I’m good as I am, but if I can improve my dribbling ability and speed, I think I can play more positions. My role model is Choi Jun-yong. I want to emulate his versatility,” Bae said.
“I can play inside and outside, which is an advantage. But I’m also confident in my three-point shooting ability, so I’d like to put that as an advantage right now. For now, my goal is to help the team reach the playoffs. Personally, my goal is to stay injury-free and play consistently,” he added.
