hoi Boo-kyung (35, 200 centimeters) expressed remorse.
The Seoul SK Wyverns have changed their destination this year. They are from Chiba Prefecture in Japan, the home of the Chiba Jets, which they have a partnership with. Choi is strengthening his teamwork by holding practice matches with multiple teams, including friendly matches with the Chiba team. Choi Boo-kyung is also sweating profusely with her teammates.
"Japan has two foreign players who play together, but I think Japan can play in a familiar rhythm when it comes to KBL teams," Choi said at a meeting before a practice game against the Saitama Broncos on Wednesday. "I can't say which one is better, but I feel that I am practicing in a different way. The food suits my taste and the travel distance is not long, so I think it's good."
Huh Il-young, who was the captain of the SK Wyverns last season, became a free agent and moved to Changwon LG. Choi Boo-kyung will thus become the captain again in a year. Since he is the second oldest player after Oh Se-geun and Kim Sun-hyung, he should lead the team as a veteran.
Choi Boo-kyung said, "When I first became the captain, I had no know-how and just worked hard. As time passed, I wondered what it would have been like to go in a different direction. As there were so many players, I saw some players that I could not take care of. This year, I will try to pay as much attention as possible to these areas. I am still lacking in captaincy, but I am trying to communicate as much as possible and bring them together as one by utilizing my know-how."
Choi had a nerve war with Hara Shuta at the end of the fourth quarter of a friendly match with the Chiba Jets on Sunday, sparking controversy. He apparently had hidden reasons, but he should not have done so clearly as the team's captain. Expressing regret, Choi offered an apology to the rival team's players and teammates.
"My thoughts were too short. As a captain, I should have led by example and played in a cool-headed and calm manner, but I couldn't. I feel sorry for my opponent and am reflecting on myself because I failed to set an example to my teammates. I think I should set the focal point of my team, but I think I rather shook it. I will make sure that this will never happen again from now on," Choi said.
SK, which won the title in the 2021-2022 season and advanced to the championship game in the 2022-2023 season, suffered a setback in the last season's semifinal playoff. There is ample motivation to climb back up. All the team members, including Choi Boo-kyung, are engaged in training looking up high.
Choi Boo-kyung said, "There is no single player that I think will always be on top of us. There are many teams that have improved their performance this season. We should not be satisfied here, but we should think about what we lack before filling in. Personally, I came to look back on myself a lot while watching (Oh) Jae-hyun. Didn't Jae-hyun become a sample of players who turned hard work into talent? There was something I felt while watching him."
"(Ahn) Young-joon has served as vice-captain, and I want to show him that he is working hard. If you have learned a lot from the older brothers, now you have a lot of things to realize from the younger players. So I will try harder in the offseason," he added. 토토사이트 모음
