Heo Hoon played full time in games 2, 3, and 4. He played 120 minutes in 3 games. It’s like he never rested for even a second.
He, who was suffering from a cold and was hospitalized and missed training, scored 33 points, including 5 3-pointers, in Game 4.
After the third game in which he scored 37 points, he scored more than 30 points in two consecutive games.
Apart from the first game, which was rather slow with 12 points, the performance has been consistent in the last three games.
In games 2, 3, and 4 combined, Heo Hoon scored 92 points and delivered 21 assists.
He averaged 30.7 points and 7 assists. Including the four championship games, the average record is 26 points and 6.3 assists.
Heo Hoon’s average score in the championship game is 10th among foreign and domestic players in the history of professional basketball, which was launched in 1997.
sibling rivalry

If you look at domestic players, they are currently ranked first. Former Wonju DB coach Kim Young-man (25.6 points), who played in his first year of professional basketball, was second, and DB coach Kim Joo-seong (25.2 points, 2007-2008 season) was third.
The 3rd game record (37 points) is the 2nd highest among domestic players in scoring in one game in the tournament, after former coach Kim Young-man (41 points), and the 4th record game (33 points) in the 7th.
His father, Heo Jae, former head of Goyang Day One, known as ‘Basketball President’, scored the most points in a championship game at 30, which is lower than his son Heo Hoon.
The average score in the 1997-1998 championship game, in which former CEO Heo was selected as the most valuable player (MVP) in recognition of his outstanding performance even though the team only finished second, is also inferior to the current Heo Hoon. .
At that time, former CEO Heo averaged 23 points and 6.4 assists in 7 games for Busan Kia Enterprises, and was recognized for his fighting spirit against injuries, leaving his name in ball history -professional basketball as the never-before-seen ‘Runner-up MVP’. .
The average score is lower than Heo Hoon’s current record, and the support is slightly higher.
With his elder brother Heo Woong playing for KCC, the championship game attracted attention as a ‘Heo Brothers’ competition, and former CEO Heo also watched Heo Hoon’s performance on the field that day with delight.
In this competition, it was expected that KCC, with the large number of national team players, would prevail.
However, KT showed that they were not easily defeated by KCC, with a close game with a one-goal difference until the end of the 3rd and 4th games. KCC is having trouble limiting Heo Hoon’s performance.
Heo Hoon ‘3 points’

At the media day of the tournament, coach Jeon Chang-jin said publicly, “There is no player who can stop Heo Hoon, so I will not stop him. I will tell him to earn 50 points on his own,” and KCC seemed to be following their strategy of stopping players from scoring other than Heo Hoon.
However, after allowing 37 points in Game 3 and almost losing the game, they had no choice but to improve their defense against Heo Hoon ahead of Game 4.
In order to prevent Heo Hoon’s skillful mid-range shot, he moved to the end line and ordered an active help defense, and in the game department, Song Kyo-chang went on to be assigned as the special defender of the role of Lee Ho-hyun and Calvin Jeffrey Epistola.
If Song Kyo-chang, who is over 2m tall, goes to the perimeter to block Heo Hoon, KCC’s height has decreased and the forward defense becomes loose.
Coach Jeon, who was aware of this, referred to the introduction of Song Kyo-chang as a tactic used in ‘critical situations’, but in the end, Song Kyo-chang was added to Heo Hoon at the end of the game.
Choi Jun-yong also mentioned Heo Hoon and said, “If you do that, it will spread,” and added, “He said he didn’t come to training because he was in pain after getting an IV, but at this point, it looks like he’s acting I’m fooled all the time.”
If KT is going to turn the tide in the championship game, which was heavily skewed towards KCC with 1 win and 3 losses, players other than Heo Hoon will have to work hard.
In particular, as the series continues, KT’s coaching staff is worried that Bass, who makes a one-two punch with Heo Hoon, is losing his proactive attitude in offense and defense.
Bath, who scored 36 points in the second game to win against KT, dropped the score to 20 and 23 in the third and fourth games.
In these two games, Bath’s field goal success rate also dropped to the 30% range.
