Sono, who was founded in July 2023, was anxious one way or the other. Nevertheless, Lee Jung-hyun (187 cm, G) was strong. He suffered from intensive checks, but he destroyed his opponent's defense in various ways.스포츠토토
Above all, he maintained a high airborne energy level as much as possible. As such, Lee Jung-hyun was able to spend the 2023-2024 season in his prime. He won the BEST 5 and Assistance Awards, the Steel Award, the Three-Point Shoot Award, and the Skill Development Award. He also won five awards during the 2023-2024 season.
Lee also made an impact on fans early in the 2024-2025 season. In particular, he scored 43 points against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis in the opening game. He also led Sono's "first four consecutive wins."
However, Lee Jung-hyun was away for quite a while due to an injury. While Lee Jung-hyun was out, Sono went downhill. At one point, he lost 11 straight games. After losing 11 straight games, Sono failed to play "spring basketball" again.
Lee Jung-hyun said, "I couldn't even evaluate my play due to the injury. I was so disappointed. I lost about 6 kilograms of body fat during my vacation to get rid of those things." He looked back on the 2024-2025 season.
As mentioned above, Lee has played only 32 games in the 2024-2025 season. If Lee can play more than 50 games, Sono's strength doubles. So, Lee needs to get fit during the offseason.
However, Lee cannot physically shape himself in Sono. He was assigned to the Korean men's national basketball team from July 16, and has to start the FIBA Asia Cup to be held in Saudi Arabia from August. He needs to take care of his health more thoroughly than ever.
Also, Lee Jung-hyun is Sono's ace. However, he cannot play most of the off-season with his teammates. He cannot play with key players such as Lee Jae-do (180 cm, G) and Kevin Chembao (195 cm, F). Sono coach Son Chang-hwan was also worried about this.
Lee Jung-hyun also said, "Coach Son Chang-hwan has his own basketball. As with all players, I need time to catch up with him. However, I cannot be with the coaching staff and the team members because of the national team's schedule. I am worried."
"But the coach said, 'Have a safe trip without any injuries. Also, I will send you a video of the training or practice matches, so please take a look at them." I also set up what to do, saying, "I will manage my body more thoroughly so that I can carry out both the national team schedule and the Sono schedule."
And as I mentioned earlier, Sono has never played spring basketball since its foundation. Lee Jung-hyun has also not played in the playoffs since the 2022-2023 season. So Lee is craving better performance than ever.
So Lee Jung-hyun said, "I want to show good performances without getting injured. That is my first goal. Also, I couldn't play the playoffs in Sono, but I will enjoy spring basketball with my fans next season." He clearly set his goal for the 2025-2026 season.
