A 180-degree turnaround for Gong Hee-jung, now an indispensable girder at Cheongju KCC
“At some point, he changed completely. He works hard in training and leads by example. He is now a child that coaches can’t help but love.”
On the 29th, Cheongju KCC won the elementary school senior championship at the 3rd Uirim Governance Championship Youth Basketball Tournament held at Jecheon Gymnasium. Cheongju KCC won the title with a 28-23 victory in the final against Namyangju The Shot SK, and Gong Hee-jung (Gentian 6, 172 cm) was at the 카지노 커뮤니티 center of it all.
“I didn’t know if I deserved MVP (laughs),” she says, ”I was nervous because The Shot SK is a strong team, and I thought I would struggle. However, it was easy in the end. This is the first time I’ve played against Yang Tae-woong, but he’s very fast and his finishing and shooting are accurate. It was hard to stop him.”Three-point shooting was introduced for the first time in the tournament. “I think it’s a good rule because a lot of my friends shoot from long distance. I’m a good three-point shooter myself, but I didn’t make many today because I was nervous,” he said.
Gong Hee-jung, who started playing basketball in the fourth grade of elementary school, said her personality has changed 180 degrees since she started playing basketball. “She was tall and athletic, but she was very stubborn. She didn’t listen to her teachers very well.” ”But at some point, she became completely different. He became a completely different person in terms of his thoughts and attitude. He trains hard and leads by example. Now, she is the kind of child that coaches can’t help but love.”
Gong Hee-jung’s dream is to become a player like KCC ace Song Kyo-chang. “I want to be good at basketball like Song Kyo-chang. He has good basketball sense and is very cool. When I become a basketball player, I want to show great plays like Song Kyo-chang.”
As a future KBL star, Gong Hee-jung has a dream of becoming an elite basketball player in her heart. However, she has to overcome her parents’ opposition.
“I think she has some ideas about elite basketball, and I want to support her, but I haven’t gotten her parents’ permission yet. I think I can convince my parents if I get more results in competitions,” he said.
Gong Hee-jung, who won three titles this year, including the Cheongju Mayor’s Cup, the Yongsan-gu Association’s Championship, and the Uirim Championship, said, “Director (Kim Dong-woo) said he would buy me beef if I won three titles. I’m going to beg him to buy beef (laughs).” ”I want to compete in the KBL youth tournament when I go to middle school, but to do that, I need to improve my skills. I will work harder in the future,” he said.
