“It was a very grateful season.” 바카라사이트
The Seoul Samsung Thunder, which convened the squad in June, continue to train at the Yongin Samsung Training Center (STC) in the offseason.
Samsung is participating in its first off-season after signing an official coaching contract with Kim Hyo-beom. Some worry that the training style that emphasizes responsibility within the team may require less exercise, but officials and players had different opinions.
Currently, Samsung is engaged in training by subdividing into different positions. It intensively conducts team training every weekday afternoon, and performs shooting drills almost inevitably at night. Though Yoon voluntarily conducts morning training, he participates quite a lot. Yoon, who marked a turning point in his career after moving to Samsung last year, was also focusing on training. Yoon said, “The training is more intense than I thought, but I have gained a lot from the new system.”
“Aren’t we engaged in off-season training with the new system? I thought it would be easy because I think I exercise less, but I have more depth of exercise than I thought and it’s not easy when I first encounter the new system,” Yoon said. Besides the difficulties, there are many things that come to my body and feel accepted by me more than I thought. Should I say I am getting used to my body faster than before, but it is my fifth to sixth off-season as a pro, and I feel that I am building and improving the body the best. I am having a satisfying off-season. The atmosphere is so good that I can’t describe it. The players are good, and I have a great relationship with the coaching staff and the training part. I think we just have to be careful about our injuries.”
He continued, “It’s not that it’s less difficult to do it autonomously. The way you exercise is changed and the system is changed, not ‘It’s going to be less difficult because you exercise less’. I also came out on my own outside of exercise time and did individual exercises separately, but time is not more important than I thought, but I think it’s different how deeply you focus on it. At first, I did it separately, but I got tired quickly because the team has a system that requires a lot of concentration. There was something I misunderstood and the concern is that if we open later and show a good performance, I think that kind of gaze will be reduced to some extent. So my goal is to work hard in the way we can and show it during the season, and I’m doing my best accordingly,” he added.
A free agent is a golden opportunity for someone, but for someone, it is a crossroads for him to retire. Yoon, who was released as an off-season free agent last year, was at the crossroads of his career, but he signed a three-year contract with Samsung to successfully extend his active duty. As a result, he played in 44 games, the most since his debut as a stretch big man, and especially displayed good performance at the end of the season when Samsung was on the rise.
Yoon said, “It was a very grateful season. I could have retired, but they gave me a good opportunity. The player who almost retired got the opportunity to show off, and I felt that I had a chance myself. I am preparing harder than before the FA because there are things that the team looks forward to. Until now, I played basketball with satisfaction that ‘this will be okay,’ but now I have more thought that I should grow and improve more and contribute to the team. That’s why I am preparing harder.”
For Yoon Sung-won, who is tall and has shooting ability, it is nice to see Kofi Coburn stay. Coburn’s presence in the inside, which induces opposing help defense, can further utilize Yoon’s strengths.
Yoon Sung-won said, “Kofi Coburn is a player who cannot be stopped by himself. So, the opponent goes into the help, but usually there are many players in my position, so chances arise often. My shot has to go in better to make it more difficult for the opponent. In that part, I am grateful to Kofi Coburn and there are many areas where I can benefit from Coburn. That’s how much I’m trying to improve a lot of things that can be helpful to Coburn. For me, Coburn’s renewal is a more opportunity.”
When asked about his goals, Yoon mentioned manager Kim Hyo-beom’s story that he would not put a limit on the players’ efforts and goals.
Yoon Sung-won said, “The coach said he didn’t want to put a limit on his goals. I also sympathized a lot with the coach’s will and listening to him, so I didn’t set a goal for his performance. Doing the best I can is the goal of the team and my goal. Personally, playing more is more important than recording. I am preparing to secure as much time as I can to play as I can because I can show you when I get a chance.”
In addition, he thanked the fans as well as the players last year, and they showed good performance at the end of the season because of their support. We also gained confidence and hope that we are a team that can do well if we prepare. If you continue to support us and support us, we will cheer up and play harder, so I hope we have a happy 0 season with the fans.”
