KXO (Korea 3×3 Basketball Federation) held the NH Nonghyup Bank 2024 KXO 3×3 Budget Tour and KXO League 6th Round at the outdoor special court in Muhancheon Sports Park in Yesan for two days on the 29th and 30th. The competition, which was held in four types: U15, U18, men’s open division, and KXO League, was hosted and organized by Yesan County, Yesan County Sports Council, Yesan County Basketball Association, and KXO, and helped support Hanul Construction, Yedang Tourism Farm, The H Resort and Wilson.
Players from all over the country, including Busan, Changwon, Cheongju, Daejeon, Seoul and Hongcheon, continued to participate in the KXO Budget Tour, which will be held in Yesan, where the budget permanent market is famous nationwide, through Jongwon Baek’s YouTube content. There was a rain forecast due to the overlapping period of the competition and rainy season, but the two-day game, which was scheduled to be held with the cooperation of Yesan County officials and participants, ended successfully.
This year’s KXO budget tour attracted attention with participation by overseas teams. Japanese Sagamihara and Shinagawa visited Japan to participate in the sixth round of the KXO League, where tickets for international competitions are up for grabs. The two teams competed fiercely with Korean 3×3 teams including Yesan Hanul Construction, Seoul Cosmo, Hongcheon, Busan Clean Shot and Hamo Jinju for two days. 메이저놀이터
Despite the changing weather, the participants played their best, and on the morning of the 29th, the first day of the competition, Choi Jae-gu, the governor of Yesan County, Kang Seung-gyu, the chairman of Yesan County Sports Council, Chung Un-kyo, the director of Yesan County Administrative and Welfare Bureau, Lee Dae-woong, the president of Yesan County Basketball Association, Kwon Ki-bok, the chairman of KXO, and Park Geon-yeon, the vice chairman of KXO, visited the stadium to encourage the participants with generous souvenirs.
Each team’s efforts to stand at the top of the KXO budget tour also shone.
In the U15 division, RKDR2, who found a budget from Changwon far away to participate in the tournament, won the championship with Song Ji-ho’s one-man show, while in the U18 division, FBP, where Kim Min-chul burst a buzzer beater, took the top spot at the end of the game. In the men’s open division, which is as exciting as a professional game, Stuff Bison, who first stepped on the KXO court through the KXO budget tour, enjoyed his first victory with Kim Han-sung’s 15-point performance.
In the sixth round of the KXO League, where the match between Korea and Japan was held due to the participation of Japanese players, Yesan Hanul Construction, who missed the final due to a calf injury in the semifinals, fought hard against Sagamihara, Japan, but failed to overcome the numerical inferiority and gave up the championship unfortunately.
Sagamihara, who won their first participation in the KXO League, won the FIBA 3×3 Kaohsiung Challenger 2024 ticket to be held in Taiwan in September.
