I asked Kim Seung-ki. What should Lee Jung-hyun (Sono) improve next season, who is showing rapid growth this season? Then, Kim clearly answered, "Just do it like this."

The reason for starting the article with a comment is that Kim Seung-ki has high confidence in Lee. It is a valuable performance. Lee performed well in 41 games with an average of 22.2 points, 2.8 three-point shots, 3.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.9 steals. He also won the MVP of the fifth round, which was dominated by foreign players until the fourth round.

"You're doing great because I set the stage for you. There are some players that he can't even have a crush on. This season, I got the competition that I wanted," Kim said of Lee.

Jeon Hee-chul also gave a good review. "I don't have many opportunities to do everything that players want to do for the next 40 minutes. But (Lee) is definitely supported by his team. He has received a great blessing as a player who needs to improve his skills. It was inevitable, but (Oh)Jae-hyun has also improved as he took charge of the management of the game." Jeon said.

Coach Jeon Hee-chul also said, "I shot very well. In the past, the timing of the pass was a little late, but now I can see (the chances of my teammates) well, so it is difficult to play cooperative defense."

Sono, who is entering his first season, is still in eighth place. He was eliminated from the playoffs early on, so he is ranking seventh as the highest expectation for this season. He ranked fifth with eight wins and eight losses in the middle of the second round, but failed to recover his winning percentage of .500 due to Lee Jung-hyun's shoulder injury, which caused him to lose eight consecutive games. Manager Kim Seung-ki also expressed regret over the absence of Lee due to injury.

There is nothing more I want from Lee Jung-hyun, but in order for Sono to aim for more than the playoffs next season, he needs to revive Jeon, who has been in ups and downs this season, and strengthen his power. Strong teams should have many players who can play 3&D roles. All teams that have advanced to the playoffs are rich in 3&D resources. Manager Kim Seung-ki said, "We need to strengthen our power."

"(Former) Sung-hyun's body is an inevitable part. It is up to him, not me, to shake off the injury. Chung needs to stop there and fill the remaining spots well. Chances are created, but shots are not repeated. If the two (Lee Jung-hyun and Onuaku) contribute about 70 points, the rest should contribute a total of 20 points."

Of course, the team must also take into account the peculiarity of the last off-season, when it was difficult to form a team. Coach Kim Seung-ki said, "We will thoroughly prepare for the next season. We will thoroughly prepare for the next season. We will spend the off-season participating in all kinds of practices. After the season, I will go to Portsmouth and I will go to the Summer League to take a look at foreign players in person," drawing the blueprint for the next season.
