Heoong is my younger brother, but I really respect him

His younger brother Heo Hoon (Suwon KT Sonic Boom) shone in the face of defeat. Heo Woong (Busan KCC Egis) who faced him as an enemy said, "He is amazing."

KCC won 92-89 against KT in the third round of the 2023-2024 professional basketball championship game (best-of-seven series) at Busan Sajik Gymnasium on the 1st. 

KCC had a 2-1 lead in the series. 

Earlier, KCC won the first away game by 17 points, but lost the second game by four points. In the third game, KCC moved to their home and won again.

After one win and one loss in the past championship games, the winning team in the third round has a 69.2% (9/13) chance of winning the playoffs.

If KCC wins the championship title, it will achieve its sixth championship in 13 years. If KT wins the championship, it will be the first time in the team's history. The two teams have three wins and three losses against each other in the regular league this season. 

Heo Woong was active in KCC with 26 points and 7 rebounds. Ra Gun-ah also helped the team win with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Ra Gun-ah has accumulated the highest score in the playoffs. As of the end of the first quarter on the day, she had 1,504 points, surpassing 1,502 points under current Wonju DB manager Kim Joo-sung.

In KT, Huh Hoon scored 37 points and two rebounds, the most in both teams, but failed to prevent the team's defeat.

"It was a very important game. I'm satisfied that I won," Huh said after the game. 

On playing in front of a large crowd, Heo said, "When I hear the fans' shouts at the end of my mind, my back feels chilling and encouraging. Thank you so much for your support. It seems like the basketball boom is happening again. As someone who has seen old basketball, it would be great if the basketball boom would blow again. That's how much the value of players goes up. It's the ultimate goal I want."

He was tongue-in-cheek at the play of his younger brother Heo Hoon, who faced off as an enemy. Heo Woong said, "I am his younger brother, but I respect him a lot. I heard that the hardest player to stop is Heo Hoon." 

Wouldn't the championship game, dubbed the "Brothers Series," act as a burden to them? "Rather than a burden, I just want to play every single game desperately. I am playing with a cool head. Also, the championship game with Hoon is very important," Huh said. "I just don't want to miss the chance to win."

KT players used to look physically exhausted during games. Huh said, "If you think, 'The opponent seems to be having a hard time today,' then we are wrong. No matter how many minutes the opponent plays, we have to do our part." 

Heo Woong, who recorded seven assists, said, "One of my roles was to drag the two (opponents) out as completely as possible. I think the offense with that thought led to seven assists." 

Finally, he vowed that he would not mind the entire series of wins and one loss. I will prepare with the mindset that I will start over."
