"I'm working harder because I'm hurt by seeing friends like Lee Jung-hyun, SK Oh Jae-hyun, and KT Ha Yoon-ki who were born in 1999 who are good in each team, and I think I'm the only one behind."

Wonju DB, which won the wire-to-wire title in the 2023-2024 regular season, went straight to the semifinal playoff as the No. 1 player in the league, but failed to advance to the championship match as it was blocked by Busan KCC with 1-3 wins and 3 losses in the series. 메이저사이트

He is committed to challenging himself to conquer the top in the next season as well. Since his selection on June 24, he has been sweating profusely. The same goes for Lee Yong-woo, who wore a DB uniform as the ninth overall pick in the 2020 KBL domestic rookie draft.

Lee Yong-woo, who retired from Sangmu on November 15, 2023, has renewed his mindset ahead of his fourth season in the professional league.

Lee Yong-woo said, "I joined the team in the middle of the season and focused on figuring out what the coach wanted and the color of our team. I took a lot of care not to cause inconvenience by coming in at a time when the team was doing well." He briefly looked back on the 2023-2024 season.

He also mentioned the shooter's position. "Before I joined the military, I moved back and forth between No. 1 and No. 2. I didn't know what to do, so I wandered around. After returning to the team, I completely settled down to No. 2. As I played in a position that I can do well, I became more relaxed and confident in my mind," Lee said.

Lee Yong-woo, who has been highly regarded for shooting since he was a student at Konkuk University, said, "I am always confident in shooting. Before I start working out, of course, I shoot 500 shots each with (Lee) Kwan-hee at night. I have a lot of senior 3&D players in my team, and I am confident in shooting, so I try to do better in defense." He also expressed his confidence in shooting and focused on defensive training.

In addition, he introduced players who motivated him. "Competition within the team is tough. However, seeing the 1999-born players such as Sono Lee Jung-hyun, SK Oh Jae-hyun, and KT Ha Yoon-ki hurt my self-esteem, and I thought I was the only one lagging behind, so I am doing my best. I am agonizing a lot to make the best shots, performance and physical strength. I will first supplement my defensive steps and dribbles," Lee said, signaling that he will further develop in the next season.
