Jeon Heechul, who was famous for his cool dunks when he was 198cm tall,
was called 'Airborne'
because of his extremely long flight time
and showed off a splendid high-altitude basketball.
Coach Jeon Hee-cheol, who took over as the head coach for the first time in 13 years as a coach, is wearing the style of his player days throughout the SK team.
It's about making a dunking team.
[Heechul Jeon/Director of SK: The flower of basketball, dunks seem to have the energy to raise the explosive team.] The
goal is to increase attack speed and create the perfect opportunity to lead to dunks with organic passes.
Even if it is a little late, the order of displeasure will fall.
In the cup competition last month, which was the debut stage of the former coach, SK won the championship with a decisive dunk from guard Kim Seon-hyeong, confirming the effect.
In a recent practice match, even veteran Heo Il-young, who had only dunked once since debut, put the ball into the rim.
[Il-Young Heo/SK Forward: (Because I dunk), the kids were surprised.] [Heechul
Jeon/Director of SK: I don’t think there will be many opportunities to dunk. I think I'm looking forward to this season too.]
Coach Jeon Hee-cheol, who has cast a clear ticket for the show, will play the first match of the regular league tomorrow against his first professional team, Orion.
