The Professional Basketball KT Star Heo Hoon

Professional Basketball KT Star Heo Hoon is out for About 4 Weeks due to Nasal Fracture

Suwon KT’s leading star in professional basketball,

Heo Hoon, will be off the court for about four weeks due to a fractured nose.

A KT official said on the 13th, “Heo Hoon’s nose bone was broken.

He was diagnosed to have to focus on recovery for about 4 weeks,” and added,

“He will need surgery and will have to wear a face shield for a while after returning.” 파워볼게임

Heo Hoon fell to the court after being hit by Lee Won-seok’s elbow 8 minutes and 55 seconds before the end of the third quarter of the home game against Seoul Samsung in the 2023-2024 Jeong Kwan-Jang Professional Basketball Regular League held at Suwon KT Arena on the 12th.

As Moon Seong-gon and Heo Hoon momentarily put pressure on him,

Lee Won-seok, who was trying to escape, swung his arms while holding the ball, and blood flowed from Heo Hoon’s nose,

who was lying on the court complaining of pain.

KT, which was ahead 50-44 up to that point,

allowed Samsung to come back after Heo Hoon left the court, and eventually lost 94-99.

With this victory, Samsung broke the longest away losing streak in professional basketball history (22 consecutive losses), which was launched in 1997.

According to a KT official, Heo Hoon, who received the final diagnosis, said, “It was just bad luck,”

rather than questioning Lee Won-seok’s intention.

Heo Hoon, who returned to professional basketball after completing military service on the 15th of last month,

played an average of 26 minutes in 10 regular league games, scoring 16.5 points and 4.3 assists.

In the 10 games Heo Hoon played in, Suwon KT won 6 and lost 4.

Luge Prodigy Siblings Kim So-Yoon and Kim Ha-Yoon

Luge Prodigy Siblings Kim So-Yoon and Kim Ha-Yoon Aim for a Medal at the Gangwon Youth Olympics

Among the participants in the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games,

there is a player who stands out.

They are siblings Kim So-yoon (16) and Kim Ha-yoon (15), national luge representatives.

Older sister Kim So-yoon and younger brother Kim Ha-yoon will wear the Taegeuk symbol and compete in the Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics, which opens in January next year. 사설 토토사이트

Kim So-yoon and Hayun siblings are the future of Korean sledding born at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

In the past, the base for sledding sports such as bobsleigh, skeleton, and luge in Korea was very thin.

Because there were no stadiums or training grounds in Korea,

there were many cases where some adults with good athletic ability switched to the sport to maintain the national team’s reputation.

However, with the hosting of the Pyeongchang Olympics,

an Olympic sliding center was opened in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do,

creating an environment where promising athletes can train freely.

Kim So-yoon and Kim Ha-yoon dreamed of becoming athletes after watching Yoon Seong-bin win a gold medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

They entered luge at a young age and won the Taegeuk flag with their extraordinary athleticism.

Kim Ha-yoon, whom we met at the Olympic Sliding Center in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do,

on the 13th, said, “When I was in elementary school,

a church pastor who was a luge competitor recommended luge to my siblings.

At first, my older sister started the sport first, and it looked good, so I also joined it.

“I learned,” he said.

The team defeated IBK IBK 3-2 (25-20 18-25 25-13 23-25 15-11) in the first match of Group B of the Women’s Division at the 2024 Tongyeong-Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament at the Tongyeong Gymnasium in Gyeongnam on Tuesday.

The match was a back-and-forth affair, with Jungkwanjang taking one set and IBK winning the next.

The dramatic developments in the middle and late stages of the fourth set in particular thrilled the crowd.

Trailing 11-7, Jung Kwan-jang scored 11 consecutive points to take a 21-17 lead, but IBK responded with six straight points to regain the lead at 23-21.

At 24-23, IBK fought off a late rally by Victoria Danchak (registered name Victoria) to take the lead for good.

However, it was Jeong Kwan-jang who was the eventual winner.

At 9-8 in the fifth set, Chung pulled to within three points with a late attack from opposing serve Bum Sil and Vanya Vukiric.

Keeping the score close, Chung ended the match at 14-11 with a quick opener from Vukiric.

Vukirich, who played for Korea Expressway Corporation last season, finished with 31 points, including four blocks, in his first game in a Jungkwanjang uniform, while second-year Mega added 22 points.

Pyo Seung-ju, who joined Jungkwanjang as compensation for free agent Lee So-young, also contributed 13 points for the home team.

For IBK, Victoria struggled with 31 points, while Lee Joo-ah and Yook Seo-young had 10 points apiece and Lee So-young finished with seven points.

Heungkuk Life, which has rebuilt its roster ahead of the season, showed good chemistry.

Heungkuk Life swept invitational team Prestige International Aranmare (Japan) in straight sets 3-0 (25-19 25-18 25-19) in the first match of the Women’s Group B earlier in the day.

Heungkuk Life acquired setter Lee Ig-eun and libero Shin Yeon-kyung in the off-season trade market.

The team also added foreign attacker Tutku Bourge Yuzgengk (real name Tutku) and Asian middle blocker Hwang Ruirei (real name Ruirei).

Kim, 36, was as aggressive as ever on the night with 17 kills (51.85% attack percentage), while Tutku added a team-high 18 digs.

After a sluggish start to the first set, Heungkuk Life took the lead at 13-13 after a quick open by Jung Yoon-ju, a follow-up attack by Tutku and a failed video review request by the opponent.

Kim Yeon-kyung then gave her team a set point opportunity at 23-18 with a center back attack. After giving up one point, Jeong Yoon-ju scored a blocker touchout.

In the second set, Heungkuk Life seized the momentum from the start and cruised through the match. Aranmare self-destructed with nine unforced errors.

On the day, Aranmare was unable to overcome the barrier of Heungkuk Life, giving up nine blocked points. 카지노 사이트 추천

SSG defeats Kiwoom in final game to advance to 5th place decider…

The SSG Landers of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) swept the final game of the regular season with a fifth-place playoff berth on the line, hitting two home runs by Choi Jeong-jeong.

SSG won the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League home game against the Kiwoom Heroes 7-2 on Tuesday at SSG Landers Field in Incheon.

With the win, SSG finished the 2024 regular season with 72 wins, 70 losses and two ties for a winning percentage of 0.507, tied for fifth place with KT Wiz.

SSG and kt will play a single-elimination tiebreaker game for fifth place at KT WIZ Park in Suwon on the 1st.

The winner of that game will play the fourth-place Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the second day for the wild card.

It will be the third time the KBO has held a tiebreaker and the first time a fifth-place game has been decided.

SSG won the final four games of the regular season to dramatically catch KT.

Kiwoom, which clinched last place early, ended the 2024 season with five straight losses.

SSG took the lead in the third inning after struggling against Kiwoom’s replacement starter Yoon Seok-won.

Jung Jun-jae led off with a walk, and Choi launched a two-run shot to left off reliever Kim Sun-ki.

Choi exploded for another home run in the fourth inning.

SSG put runners on first and second with an infield single by leadoff hitter Lee Ji-young and a walk by Go Myung-joon before Park Sung-han made it 3-0 with a single to right.

Jung Jun-jae’s grounder to second baseman Kim Hye-sung was misplayed to load the bases, and the next batter, Choi Jung-jeong, hit a grand slam over the right field wall.

With the score at 7-0, SSG gave up a run in the top of the sixth inning when starter Drew Anderson was pulled.

The new pitcher gave up a triple to right-center to Park Soo-jong and a sacrifice fly to Kim Tae-jin to make it 7-1.

That was it. SSG allowed one run in the ninth inning, but it didn’t affect the outcome of the game.

Choo Shin-soo, who is retiring after this season, pinch-hit for Ha Jae-hoon in the bottom of the eighth inning and hit a grounder to second base to say goodbye to the field he had grown to love.

SSG players came to the front of the dugout to high-five him, and SSG manager Lee Sung-yong gave him a bouquet of flowers.

Choi put on a one-man show, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, six RBIs and two runs scored.

With 15 career extra-base hits, Choi is now second on the KBO’s all-time list for most career extra-base hits.

In first place is current Kia Tigers manager Lee Beom-ho with 17, and in third place is Samsung Lions’ Kang Min-ho with 14.

At Kia Champions Field in Gwangju, the Tigers clinched the regular-season title with a 10-5 victory over the NC Dinos to start the Korean Series on a high note.

Kia finished the regular season with 87 wins, 55 losses, two draws, and a .613 winning percentage.

Ninth-place NC will close out the season with its final game against the Lotte Giants at Changwon NC Park on April 1.

Infielder Kim Do-young, who has grown into Kia’s signature hitter with his best performance this season, fell short of becoming the first Korean player to record 40 home runs and 40 doubles.

Kim, who had 38 home runs and 40 doubles the day before, had to settle for 1-for-4 with one home run, one RBI, one run scored, and one walk.

Kia gave up an RBI double to Doh Tae-hoon in the first inning off starter Eric Lauer with the bases loaded, but the offense responded with five runs in the bottom of the inning.

Back-to-back singles by Lee Woo-sung and Ko Jong-wook put runners on first and third with one out, and Kim Ho-ryung’s infield grounder brought home Lee Woo-sung, before Kim Tae-gun, Park Jung-woo, Kim Do-young, Yoon Do-hyun, and Park Chan-ho hit consecutive singles to put the game out of reach.

After conceding a run in the sixth inning, KIA scored three more runs in the bottom of the inning, capitalizing on an error and three wild pitches. 토토사이트 순위

KT Uhm Sang-baek, SSG Elias to start 5th place deciding game…with honor on the line

KT Wiz’s Uhm Sang-baek and SSG Landers Roenis Elias will face off in the starting lineup with the prestige of their respective teams on the line.

The two players will start for both teams in the fifth-place deciding game (tiebreaker) of the 2024 Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) World Series on Oct. 1 at 5 p.m. at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon.

KT and SSG tied for fifth place this season and will meet in the fifth-place deciding game for the first time in baseball.

The winner of that game will advance to the wild-card decider against the fourth-place Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Oct. 2.

Initially, KT had planned to start homegrown ace Ko Young-pyo in the fifth-place game.

Go was trusted because he had pitched well against SSG this season with a 2.08 ERA in four games.

However, the plan was disrupted when the team used him as the third pitcher in the regular season finale against the Kiwoom Heroes on April 28.

Eom Sang-baek, who started in place of Ko, has a 4.67 ERA in three games against SSG this season.

Most recently, on August 24, he pitched relatively well against SSG, allowing two runs on six hits with one walk and three strikeouts in 5⅔ innings.

If Uhm Sang-baek struggles early in the game, Ko Young-pyo could be utilized as a middle reliever.

Ko threw 48 pitches against Kiwoom on Aug. 28.

KT had two days off after the game against Kiwoom on the 28th, so they have plenty of bullpen depth.

They can use their closer Park Young-hyun, as well as So Min-joon and Son Dong-hyun, who have returned from injury.

Against them, Elias has a 3.07 ERA in two games against KT.

He pitched seven innings of six-hit, two-run ball with seven strikeouts and one walk in the win over KT on April 21.

The starting battle weighs in favor of SSG, but stamina is a factor.

SSG played a six-game series from the 21st, followed by a game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 28th, and then a game against Kiwoom on the 30th.

“Overall, the players are tired,” said SSG coach Lee ‘We played every game like a postseason at the end of the season, and we’re going to keep going until the end,’ Lee said.

Revenue from the tiebreaker will be distributed in the same way as the regular season, but the games will have no bearing on regular season records and will not affect individual titles.

In the case of extra innings, there is no innings or time limit to decide the winner. 안전놀이터

Goodbye Shin-Soo Choo “I’ll be cheering from behind for fall baseball”

Shin-soo Choo (42-SSG Landers) thanked teammate Choi Jung-jeong and SSG manager Lee Sung-yong for giving him the opportunity to bat for the last time.

“When I played my last game for the Texas Rangers (Major League Baseball), it was unfortunate that the game was held without a crowd (due to the spread of the novel coronavirus),” Choo said after the final game of the 2024 baseball regular season against the Kiwoom Heroes at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on Tuesday, adding, ”I missed this situation where I was able to make my last at-bat with the support of the crowd.”

“I tried not to play if the game was close,” he said, adding, ”I’m grateful to coach Lee Sung-yong for giving me this opportunity, and I’m grateful to Choi Jung for hitting two home runs to widen the gap.”

Choo Shin-soo, who announced his retirement after the 2024 season, was forced to withdraw from the game after the Hanwha Eagles game on Oct. 10 due to severe shoulder pain.

His team, SSG, was in a fierce battle for fifth place and needed to win the final game of the regular season against the Kiwoom Heroes on Nov. 30 to advance to the fifth place decider.

Coach Lee “Sung-yong” Lee wanted to give Choo “Shin-soo” Choo one last chance to play, but it was too much to ask of him in such a desperate situation.

Luckily, SSG took a 7-1 lead into the eighth inning and brought in Shin-soo as a pinch hitter for Ha Jae-hoon in the bottom of the eighth.

When Choo’s name appeared on the scoreboard, the fans gave him a standing ovation. His wife, Ha Won-mi, and daughter, Choo So-hee, were in tears as they watched from the stands.

Choo hit a grounder to second base and high-fived his juniors as they lined up in front of the dugout.

Coach Lee gave him a bouquet of flowers and encouraged him.

“I was surprised that the juniors suddenly came to the dugout,” Choo said. ”They helped me a lot after living abroad for a long time and gave me motivation to continue playing baseball. I am very grateful.”

When asked about his family, he said, “I talked to my wife before today’s game, and she was crying.” He added, “My wife and children suffered a lot when I was living in the United States. I feel very sorry for them,” he said.

SSG will play the KT Wiz for fifth place in a best-of-five series at Katwiz Park in Suwon on October 1, and if they win that game, they will play the Doosan Bears for the wild card on October 2.

Shin-Soo Choo’s chances of playing are slim. His shoulder is still in bad shape.

The team can’t afford to waste an extra roster spot for Shin-soo, who can’t even play as a pinch-hitter.

“We have to see the situation, but it’s difficult for Shin-soo Choo to play in the postseason,” Lee said before the game.

Choo Shin-soo has no desire to play in the postseason.

“It’s difficult to play fall baseball,” he said, ”I want to take a break for now, and if I get the chance, I plan to support my teammates from behind.”

Meanwhile, SSG has decided to hold Choo’s retirement ceremony in 2025. 카지노사이트 추천

K League-leading Ulsan enjoying front-runner status ahead of season’s final stretch

With Ulsan Hyundai FC closing in on their second straight title in Korean football, head coach Hong Myung-bo said Wednesday he is enjoying being chased.Ulsan sit atop the K League 1 tables with 67 points after 33 matches, nine ahead of Pohang Steelers with five matches to go.After 33 matches, the 12 teams in the K League 1 were divided into two groups. The top six ended up in Final A, and the rest were paired into Final B. Clubs will now each play five more matches, one against every other team within their own group, to finish out the season.The top half-dozen clubs gathered in Seoul on Wednesday for the Final A media day, each represented by their head coach and one player. Hong, who coached Ulsan to the top last year for their first title in 17 years, said he wants to do something no other Ulsan bench boss has done before: repeat as K League champions.

“Every match is going to be important from here and on, and our biggest goal is to add one more star above the crest on our left chest,” Hong said. “Every opponent in Final A will be a threat, but we went through this the last couple of years. I think we’ll have the bull’s-eye on our back, and everyone else will be targeting us. But we’ll build on our experience from last year.”Ulsan will open the final stretch against Gwangju FC, an upstart club that stunned Ulsan 2-0 on Sept. 3.”They have no pressure and have nothing to lose. I think they’re going to be in a pretty good mindset,” Hong said. “So it won’t be an easy match for us, but we’d like to wrap up the title as quickly as we can. The best-case scenario would be to get it done within the first couple of matches.”

Mathematically, only Pohang and Gwangju FC, in third place with 54 points, have a chance to catch Ulsan. Pohang head coach Kim Gi-dong said his club has been steadily improving and he doesn’t want the progress to come to a halt at the most important juncture of the season “We’ll have to beat Ulsan to make something happen toward the end,” Kim said of the east coast regional derby scheduled for Nov. 12. “Our supporters always want us to beat 커뮤니티 Ulsan, and a derby like this helps the league overall too. We’ll go all-in on that match and see what happens.”Pohang captain Kim Seung-dae, sounding almost resigned, said the team’s primary goal is to stay in second place, though he will still enjoy trying to chase down the defending champions.

“I think being chased is much more difficult than chasing. This is not so hard on us,” Kim said with a smile. “We’re going to try to push them until the end.”Ulsan captain Kim Kee-hee admitted Pohang are the one team that could foil Ulsan’s repeat bid but added: “We enjoy having someone chasing us. We love wearing the crown on the top of our head, and we don’t take this lightly.”Gwangju FC have been a Cinderella story in 2023, soaring to third place with five wins in their last six matches during their first season following promotion from the second-tier K League 2. “We’ve all grown so much this year, the club, players and myself,” Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo said. “And we’ve made a lot of noise along the way, and we want to continue to make noise in the final stretch.”

Lee’s captain, Ahn Yong-kyu, chimed in: “We’re excited to be in Final A, but we’re not satisfied with this. We want to keep getting better and make our supporters happy.”Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, a perennial contender with seven league titles between 2014 and 2021, find themselves on the outside looking in, stuck in fourth place with 49 points.Assistant coach Valeriu Bordeanu, in attendance for ailing head coach Dan Petrescu, said he was “glad” that no other coach considered Jeonbuk much of a threat over the next five rounds of matches.”Surprise can happen,” the Romanian coach said. “We face some difficult moments, and we’re very happy to be in the top six. We hope to reach as high as possible in the tables in the final five matches.”

Family first, coaching later for retiring football player

When Daegu FC forward Lee Keun-ho wraps up his 19-year professional football career at the end of this season, there will be one thing and that one thing only on his agenda: spending time with his 8-month-old son.”Raising our boy is the most important thing for me by far,” Lee told reporters Wednesday before the K League 1 media day for Final A clubs, or the top six teams after the 33-match point. Daegu FC snuck in at 49 points, just two ahead of seventh-place FC Seoul. “I enjoy it. I think I was born to do it,” Lee said with a smile. “I am just thankful to be a father, and I appreciate the opportunity to spend time with my son.”The 38-year-old said his decision to retire, made public Monday, didn’t come out of the blue.”I had retirement in mind before the season, and then I started getting into more matches than I’d thought because we had some injuries up front,” Lee said. “My teammates and coaches said I looked better than in years past. And that’s when I decided it was the right time for me to quit.”

Lee just had to convince head coach Choi Won-kwon to let him leave on his own terms. “I first told the coach in June that I wanted to call it quits, but he wanted me to keep playing,” Lee said. “I told him three or four more times in the summer that this was 추천 going to be it for me, but he kept kicking the can down the road to October and November. But after a while, he finally relented because I was so insistent.” Lee said his teammates at first didn’t believe him.”They thought I would just come back next year and play,” Lee said. “I did that the past couple of years. But once they started seeing news articles about my retirement, they really believed me.”Lee said his wife gets emotional whenever the talk of his retirement comes up, and he now tries to avoid the topic as much as he can.

“At first, she used to ask me, ‘Are you going to quit for real this time?’ But after a while, she would cry whenever we talked about my retirement,” Lee said. “She has always been supportive of my decisions, and this was no different. But I try not to bring that up with her.” Lee said coaching is in his long-term future, but he will first have to earn his coaching license to be eligible.”I am not quite ready to get into coaching yet. I have to get my license next year,” he said. “For now, I may open a football academy for children in Daegu. And I will get into coaching when I think I am ready for it. I’ve been playing this game for a long time, but when it comes to coaching, I will be a beginner.”
