Cho Joon-hee, a basketball-mad rookie who sleeps in the locker room of "Samsung's Wild Horse," reads the countdown to his return
"This guy is really different."
Cho Joon-hee, a draft pick by Seoul Samsung in the 2023 KBL Rookie Draft, played in five games in the first half of the season and recorded 7.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 0.6 steals in an average of 13 minutes and 33 seconds. In particular, Cho made 1.4 three-point shots and boasted a success rate of 35.0 percent. Defensive skills were definitely a drawback, but offensive skills were definitely an advantage. He showed off his strength not like a rookie and helped Samsung's offense.
However, Cho has been hampered by injury. He suffered an ankle injury in a game against Wonju DB on Nov. 7 last year. Four weeks have passed so early that it is expected to take him to return, but he has yet to show up. This is partly due to lingering pain, but Samsung intends to make him play by producing a more solid physical condition.
"I'm in good physical condition. I've gained about six kilograms, so I'm feeling very good," Kim Hyo-beom, the acting coach, said on Tuesday. "I've definitely gotten a lot better. I'm not heavy. I'm crazy about sports. I come out to train every day, and I sleep in the locker room. So I'm looking forward to it a lot. My task is how I can maintain my nature like a wild horse but control myself," Cho said.
Cho's physical condition measured at the tryout before the draft was 187.2 centimeters and 77.3 kilograms. He was clearly skinny. Since he gained about 6 kilograms, he could expect to weigh around 83 kilograms. He is expected to show more power in defense, which is his weakness. 마카오카지노
"He did a good job in the training part. I think he did a good job in the weight lifting program and eating. That's why I'm looking forward to his defense. I don't want to make him happy, but I think he will do it until dawn when I see an article like this," Kim Hyo-beom said, expressing expectations. "He is really different."
When asked when he would return, he replied, "I plan to make a practice game or self-evaluation during the All-Star break, put it in the entry, and accompany him."
