Heo Ye-eun (165cm, G) should move Cheongju KB faster.
Heo Ye-eun joined KB as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019-2020 WKBL Rookie of the Year competition. And she made her name known from the 2020-2021 championship game. In particular, she was bold in the game where everything was decided, with seven points and two assists and one rebound in 20 minutes and 18 seconds in Game 5.
From the 2021-2022 season, he supported Park Ji-soo (196 cm, C) and Kang Yi-seul (180 cm, F). To be precise, he saved Park Ji-soo's height and Kang's three points. He was recognized for his value as a point guard and also experienced his first combined win since his debut.
He also made strides in the 2023-2024 season. First of all, he played in all 30 regular league games (30 games), recorded 11.17 points, 6.2 assists, 4.7 rebounds (aggression 1.2) and 1.3 steals in 30 minutes and 57 seconds per game. He contributed to KB's winning the regular league title.
Her contribution to the playoffs was also high. She played in 34 minutes and 17 seconds on average in three games, scored 13 points and 4.7 assists per game, 4.3 rebounds, and posted 2.3 steals per game to end the playoffs. KB struggled in the championship game, however. After hard work, they won one game and lost three games, failing to win the championship title overall. Heo felt even more frustrated.
Heo had venom. However, she could not join KB team. She joined the national team as she participated in the qualifying round for the Women's Basketball World Cup. She had to leave the team for quite a long time.
Was that the reason? Huh Ye-eun was criticized during the 2024 Woori Bank Park Shin-ja Cup (vs. Asan Woori Bank) held on Sep. 3. "(Heo) Ye-eun made such a disappointing play. It was an unacceptable play. The main guard cut the flow too much. Of course, my fault is the biggest, but I have to think about that too," he said from KB coach Kim Wan-soo.
Heo Ye-eun knew that, too. So she said, "I joined the team immediately after I was appointed as a member of the national team. However, I felt so sorry for not being able to help the team. Now I have to prepare more thoroughly," stressing her preparation. 스포츠토토
KB players, including Heo Ye-eun, went to Japan for a training camp from Sept. 20 to Sept. 30. Kim Wan-soo, KB's coach, said, "I thought we should try harder. In particular, we thought we should get more teamwork. Still, the players were not intimidated much. Their mentality was a possibility that we confirmed during the training camp."
Heo Ye-eun is also aware of 'organizational power'. In particular, she is focusing on team colors that need to be changed. For that reason, "The height has to be lowered, so the basics must be done first. You have to pour 120% of both offense and defense. And you can't put it off to anyone," he said, emphasizing 'change'.
And he said, "If you have seen your colleagues' chances, you need to better match the proportion of 'distribution' and 'attack'. To be more precise, you need to be more aggressive than before," he said, explaining the key point of the change.
Above all, KB needs to play basketball faster than before. They need to make up for Park's absence. Speed and activity became the core of KB. Heo also said, "You have to move faster than other teams and move one step more than other teams." As a point guard, I valued what I would do with my team members.
