Hwayang High School lost 70-91 to Jeonju High School in Group E of the 2024 Korean middle and high school basketball weekend league held at Jeonju High School Gymnasium on the 30th.

Although the team’s defeat faded, Seo Sung-hyo’s performance, which set the stage for the third quarter’s pursuit, caught the eye. Seo Sung-hyo became the team’s highest scorer with 23 points, 20 rebounds, and three assists and two blocks in 38 minutes and 6 seconds.

Seo said, “I lacked a lot of performance during the presidency of the federation last May. So I worked hard on preparing for the weekend league, but I am boosting (my performance) a lot through this tournament. Now I am getting better little by little.”

“There were not many mistakes in the match against Daejeon High School (61-58, winning), but I’m so sorry that I made a lot of mistakes in the match against Jeonju High School. I think I was nervous without knowing because I thought Jeon High School was a strong team. The opponent tried to gain the upper hand at the height by using box-outs, not the team with high height, but the burden appeared to be the performance,” he said, looking back on the past two games.

Then, he said, “These days, the coach emphasizes basketball that he gives and plays. I want to come up to the high post and connect them, and I want to cut in right away or see the next chance to play more.” He introduced what he heard from the leader. 슬롯사이트 순위

Seo Sung-hyo, who started playing basketball in the summer of his second year of middle school, also participated in the U18 men’s basketball team’s 36-member training camp in June.

Seo Sung-hyo said, “It’s a place where good players come, so I personally thought, ‘Can I be picked?’ Everyone has a good eye for basketball and skills. I learned a lot from players with good team movements and individual skills.”

When asked if there is a player who draws attention in the national team training, he replied, “Samil High School’s Wi Jin-seok is in the same center position, but he plays well under the goal that I lack. I also thought I should train more and supplement it.”

In addition, he said, “Teachers of the national team put a lot of emphasis on defense. In the future, he advised me to practice a lot of pressure defense and forward zone defense, as I will match other positions besides the fifth position.”

Finally, Seo said, “Our team ranked second last year in the weekend league and first the year before last. We try not to break the first and second place in our group. As my performance is improving, I want to become a player who can be used in the right place as a basketball player, with the goal of showing good results in the last game.” I will do my best to fill in my shortcomings and improve them.”
