KCC manager Lee Sang-min said this. The center of the superstar legion KCC is Heo Hoon.
KCC is at the center of the controversy while receiving a lot of love from basketball fans, the team that is the most controversial issue this season.
There are two reasons. KCC has recruited Huh Hoon, the biggest FA player this season. It traded key power forward Lee Seung-hyun to Hyundai Mobis. This is because of the structure of the salary cap.
KCC made the big four of Huh Hoon, Ung, Song Kyo-chang, and Choi Jun-yong. It gathered the best players in each position. Everyone has a strong personality.
He signed Sean Long as a foreign player. He is a player who caused numerous controversies at Hyundai Mobis last season. He is a player of love and hatred who showed poor concentration and poor defense and poor performance.
In the end, there were numerous evaluations for KCC before the season. The spectrum varied.
'In the end, KCC will win the championship. Team chemistry is important, but basically, the players have different levels, and 'Injury issues are constant. Because of the team's chemistry, it is not easy to win.
I opened the lid. Huh Hoon left due to a chronic calf injury, and Choi Jun-yong also missed due to an injury. However, KCC turned the crisis into an opportunity with the combination of Song Kyo-chang and Heo Woong's step-up, Sean Long's awakening, and Jang Jae-seok, Choi Jin-kwang and Kim Dong-hyun's sacrificial plays.
Choi Jun-yong and Heo Hoon came back one after another. It was a rollercoaster performance. 77 to 100 complete defeat by Samsung in Seoul. The team lost to the Seoul SK Wyverns 68 to 76. The team beat Suwon KT 89 to 81. The power of the whole body was impressive. In the game against LG, they were completely defeated 61 to 83. At this point, KCC is not bad considering its 7-6 record and injury variables. Huh Hoon and Choi Jun-yong are not 100% conditioned yet. Huh Hoon is about 70% and Choi Jun-yong is about 80%.
In other words, if KCC melts the power of the big four, it is calculated that it can sufficiently challenge the presidential election. The process of getting to that point can still have its ups and downs.

Huh Hoon is the best guard in the league that everyone recognizes. Teammates Huh Woong, Song Kyo-chang, and Choi Jun-yong acknowledge it. This part of the team's chemical combination is so important. This is why head coach Lee Sang-min chose Huh Hoon as the team's leader.
The center is still needed to maximize the team chemistry of KCC players with strong personality. The center is Heo Hoon.
You can drive your team's victory by scoring, or you can create ace gravity by setting up a game using your teammates. In addition, he is a player who knows the conditions of winning the team better than anyone else.
When KT was already playing in the championship game two years ago, he said, `In the end, foreign players must be at the center to win the short-term game. The team that can create synergy around the foreign player is close to winning the championship."
Another strength of Huh Hoon is that he can bring out Sean Long's power more than any other player. Shaun Long is a "double-edged sword" that can also create synergy in defense when his offense goes well.
In other words, the performance varies depending on how many appropriate passes can be put in when settling in one's post and how high the attack efficiency is using them at 2-2. Huh Hoon is the player who can coordinate both.
Coach Lee Sang-min said, `A 2-2 attack against Sean Long, centered on Huh Hoon, is the basis of our attack. However, it is important to take Choi Joon-yong and Song Kyo-chang's second ball handler, Huh Woong's explosive power together. "I also know that there are voices worried about defense. This defensive weakness will be offset if four players have concentration at the match point. Otherwise, he said, "I have a plan to boldly use the backup team to make up for that defensive weakness."
KCC's season plan centered on Huh Hoon is agreed. The question is 'Vertification'. How to take advantage of Choi Joon-yong and Song Kyo-chang Heo Ung in a big frame and how to fill the weaknesses of defense is KCC's homework for the rest of this season.
