Hard work paid off with MVP honors. This is the story of Song Jeong-cho Kim Tae-wan (172 cm, F).
Ulsan Songjeongcho defeated Seoul Samgwangcho 45-31 in the men’s championship final of the 79th National Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship at the Glory Sports Center in Jeonnam, South Jeolla Province, on May 5. The team led throughout the entire game and swept the championship from the association championship, the national youth championship, 해외 카지노 사이 and the national championship.
It was the first time since 1999 that Song had won the individual title. Kim Tae-wan was the main player who rewrote the team’s history. Kim played nearly a full game (32 minutes), finishing with 10 points, nine rebounds, three steals, and two blocked shots.
He averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.8 steals during the tournament, earning his first MVP honor.
Kim was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player after just one year of playing basketball. He wasted no time in training and worked hard to improve his weaknesses.
Coach Shin Hyun-ki, the head coach of Song Jeongcho, said, “(Kim) works really hard. He’s a quick learner and doesn’t waste any training time. He has good speed and quickness, so his drive-in is his strength, but he has worked very hard to improve his shooting, which has been one of his weaknesses. I was scolded a lot while I was reworking my shooting form. However, he didn’t let it bother him, and he is indispensable to the team,” praised Kim Tae-wan.
Kim Tae-wan, who became the MVP a year after dreaming of becoming a basketball player, said, “I joined the basketball team in June last year. I used to play basketball in a club, but then I got interested and started playing basketball in earnest,” he said.
“I would like to say thank you to Coach Shin Hyun-ki, Lee Sang-yup, and Park Jae-min,” he continued, “who taught me the basics and skills from scratch, and I am grateful to them for teaching me how to play basketball.” He credited them with the victory.
Kim Tae-wan, whose hard work paid off through this tournament, said, “I think I was able to win because my drive was good and I was in good shape.” He added, “It was great to receive the MVP award.
“It was my first time receiving the MVP award, so I was a little nervous, but it feels good,” he added, explaining how it felt to be named the best player.
Kim Tae-wan’s role model is Park Moo-bin (Hyundai Mobis, Ulsan).
“Park is my role model,” he said. I want to be as good at basketball as he is and become a star player,” he said.
