“I was confident. I transferred because I was confident. One of the reasons I came to Goyang Carrot was that I wanted to break the negative evaluation.”
The confidence of Jeon Seong-hyeon (32, Carrot), who has risen to another level as the best player in the league, was clear. He was not a strong player because he was on a strong team, but a player who could make a strong team.
Carrot won 87-76 in a match against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation in the 2022-23 professional basketball regular league held at Goyang Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 9th.
‘Ace’ Jeon Seong-hyeon’s performance was still the same. He was sluggish for a while in the first quarter, but he made up for his name by scoring 20 points, including five 3-pointers. In particular, he made 3 3-pointers in the first half of the day alone, setting a record of 3 or more 3-pointers in 16 consecutive games for the first time in professional basketball.
In an interview after the match, Jeon Seong-hyun said, “I’m so happy to win,” but “Nana and Lee Jung-hyun are in the interview room, but (Kim) Kang Seon-hyung, (Lee) Jong-hyun, (Kim) Jin-yu, and other colleagues were so good at it.” It must have been difficult for the players who couldn’t run (a lot). Nevertheless, he built his body well, and he did well every time he was put on the court. Thank you.”
Jeon Seong-hyun is considered the number one MVP (Most Valuable Player) in the regular league this season. He was awarded round MVP in rounds 1 and 3, and is averaging 20.3 points and 43.4% 3-point shooting for the season. He is writing various records related to the 3-point shot, including the record of 16 consecutive games on this day. Jeon Seong-hyun said, “I don’t run every game to set records, but I want to thank my teammates who helped me set such a good record.” “Basketball is a team sport. It is a record that I cannot achieve alone. I will set records and help the team rise to a higher place.”
It is even more surprising when you consider that the environment has changed. Jeon Seong-hyun came from KGC, which reached the championship finals for the past two seasons in a row. He has been working hand-to-hand for a long time with his solid teammates, who are stained by director Kim Seung-gi’s hands. Carrot has relatively low power compared to KGC. This season, too, Jeon Seong-hyun, Lee Jung-hyun, and Lawson are the focus of scoring. As an ace of 1 option, the burden has increased, but Jeon Seong-hyun is overcoming the burden and proving himself. He said, “I was confident. I transferred because I was a free agent.” 토토
Carrot lost five straight matches from the end of last year to the beginning of this year. After the shocking loss to Anyang KGC, the mentality of the entire team was shaken, and it took time to get out of the swamp of losing streak. Instead, the momentum is good after overcoming it.
Jeon Seong-hyun said, “Actually, I was embarrassed by my 5-game losing streak, and I couldn’t remember when I experienced it. All I could do was say, ‘Be confident’. (Carrot players) anyone on the court )Jung-hyun tends to find only Didric Lawson. That’s why he said, ‘Whenever the sixth man enters the court, you have to be aggressive so the team lives, you live, and we live too. Be confident and aggressive.
