Korea’s goal this time was to have opportunities and growth for young players. Korea, which wants to change generations, has recruited a large number of young players. The oldest player in the team is Byun Joon-hyung (185 centimeters, G), who was born in 1996. Ra Gun-ah (200 centimeters, C), who has held firm under the basket, also announced her retirement from the national team. With Kim Jong-kyu (204 centimeters, C) absent, Ha Yoon-ki (204 centimeters, C) had to keep firm under the basket.
Playing 29 minutes, Ha did his part. He had 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block shot. “Yoon-gi fought well under the basket. Yoongi is a player who will protect Korea for the next 10 years,” Korean coach Ahn Jun-ho said.
However, other big men except Ha Yoon-ki were disappointed. “Yoon-ki cannot run alone. This is why other big men play important roles. (Lee) has good hardware. We have to use it to keep him under the basket with Yoongi,” coach Ahn said, paying attention to Lee Won-seok (204cm, C).
Ahead of the second round, Lee said, “I was so nervous in the last first round. It was my first time to make a five-to-five national team. Then, I came to Japan and had to play in front of a full Japanese audience. I even can’t remember what I did in the first round.”
Lee is a big man who can run despite his tall height. His shooting ability made him special. That is why Lee said, “The key to the second round is not to be nervous. I have to show what I have,” and added, “I have to fight under the basket. I have to grab rebounds and defend under the basket. And when the chance comes, I have to score mid-range goals accurately. I hesitated because I was nervous in the first round. But the second round will be different.”
Lee failed to display his presence in the first match. However, he displayed a different side of himself in the second match. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to vitalize Korea by showing a different side in the second match.
