Lee Hyun-joong, who played in the Summer League for the Philadelphia 76ers, scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in the final game against the New Orleans Pelicans at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada, on the 17th.
He made three 3-pointers out of four 3-pointers, and one of them showed his strengths by getting additional free throws. He didn’t get the right opportunity, but he achieved a “end-of-the-day beauty” in the final game. 바카라
He said in a video provided by the NBA Secretariat, “I had a hard time playing recently, but I was determined to prepare to help the team win at any time, and it worked well.”
“I’m going to join the pre-season schedule in two weeks, and I’m really excited,” he said after agreeing to a three-year contract with the Illawarra Hawks of the Australian National Basketball Association (NBL). “I’m looking forward to next season. I want to get more opportunities when I come to the summer league next time (based on my performance next season).”
He, who has played for the Australian NBA Academy, said, “I’m going to meet my friends there again,” adding another reason why he’s heading to Australia.
He also expressed his thoughts on challenging the NBA as a Korean player. “Of course, my dream is to challenge the NBA, but at the same time, my goal is to set an example for Asian players, especially Korean players,” he said.
He said that being the only Korean player to knock on the NBA door is “a lot of pressure,” but raised his voice, saying, “It is motivating at the same time,” adding, “I am working hard with the idea of representing Korea.”
Finally, he said, “Thank you for your support. “I can’t say I can go to the NBA right away, but I’m seeing it as a long process and I’ll keep trying, so please keep an eye on it.”
