KT's last puzzle, Heo Hoon (29), is back. KT, which is fully armed, even confirmed the competitiveness of backup resources during the absence of injured players. Captain Huh Hoon smiled at the team's increased strength.

Huh Hoon made his comeback in a home game against Busan KCC on the 1st. It has been 49 days since he left the line due to a broken finger in November last year.

Heo Hoon played 20 minutes, the maximum time that KT coach Song Young-jin announced before the game, and recorded 11 points, seven assists, and one steal. The addition of main ball handler Heo Hoon has helped KT's offensive route. Heo Hoon created space and successfully shot three points, while assisting the score through a two-man game against center Ha Yoon-ki. Heo Hoon splendidly announced the return of the captain by playing the role of troubleshooter in the clutch situation.

Heo has not been in good condition since the beginning of this season. Due to wrist injury, he lost a lot of sense of shooting. Heo endured pain to fill the gap between Ha Yoon-ki and other players, and recovered his performance by taking about seven weeks off this time.
"When Heo Hoon comes in, I can definitely breathe in the offens," coach Song said after the game the previous day. "Ha Yoon-ki will also come back to life in the process of picking and rolling with Heo Hoon." Ha Yoon-ki scored 17 points, the most in this season, in the previous game that he played with Heo Hoon.

Head coach Song said, "A derivative attack should come out in the pick and roll game, but it was frustrating because it didn't work when Heo Hoon wasn't around," adding, "Choi Jin-kwang solved that part as he adjusted, but there was a physical problem." He expected, "If Heo Hoon makes a derivative attack, organic play will come out and it will be very helpful."

Choi Jin-kwang is a guard who saw light during Heo Hoon's absence. Choi, who was primarily deployed as a backup player, played for more than 20 minutes while Heo Hoon was away from the court and served as a field commander. During the period, he also achieved career highs with 18 points and eight assists. Choi and Park Joon-young are the "mainstream six-man" that KT discovered this season.

Heo Hoon said, "Thank you for the good work of players such as (Choi) Jin-kwang, (Park) Sung-jae, and (Park) Jun-young," and added, "Thank you and sorry for showing good performance while I was away." "On the other hand, I thought, "I can rest more because the kids are so good," he said with a smile.

Heo Hoon said, "My physical condition is fine," and added, "I still have pain in my feet, but I think I can play the season well while managing it." "I believe the timing and ability to solve the game will get better because I haven't played much," he said. "There were some creaks, but I have a lot of time left, so I'll show you a good performance." 메이저놀이터
