Hongcheon is also popular!
"It's not even a great player.... Thank you so much."
Jung Sung-hoon of Busan All One Bank participated in the NH Nonghyup Bank FIBA 3x3 Hongcheon Challenger 2024 Qualifying Draw held at a special court in Hongcheon Tori Forest City Forest Park in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon State on the 11th.
Chung Sung-hoon, a graduate of Chung-Ang University, is a promising player in Korean basketball as he is a 200-centimeter-tall big man. However, he failed to achieve his dream of becoming a professional in the 2022 KBL Rookie Draft.
Since then, Jung Sung-hoon, who worked as a Hana One Q instructor in Bucheon, has recently participated in the "turnover" project being carried out by Ha Seung-jin and Jeon Tae-pung, burning his last passion for his dream of becoming a professional.
In this competition, he participated with Ha Seung-yoon, who is also a member of the "turnover." Since Jung has been participating in 3x3 competitions since he was not drafted, there was no awkwardness. However, it was the first time in about a year that he participated in 3x3 competition as an instructor and a "turnover" activity.
"I feel like I'm in a 3x3 competition in a year. I got used to it when I was running, but I couldn't get used to it again in a year, so I think I lost a little bit," Jung said.
"After naming the program, I had a team (Busan) that played 3x3 with me, so I came out together. I really wanted to come out," he added.
Young players shouted "turnover!" to Jung Sung-hoon and Ha Seung-yoon to cheer for them. As such, the popularity of "turnover" seemed to have increased the recognition of players.
Jung Sung-hoon said, "We're not even great players…, Thank you so much for your great interest. Now I will walk silently the way I have to go," he said.
For Jung, the upcoming 2024 KBL rookie draft is perhaps the last chance to become a professional. That's why he is having a more urgent and meaningful time.
"I'm grateful for such a great opportunity. I want to do my best so that I don't have any regrets or regrets about basketball for the rest of my time," Jung said.
Meanwhile, Busan failed to advance to the main draw, losing to Japan's Shinagawa and Australia's Non-Awarding.
