Hyunho also watches and studies a lot of KBL players. “I watch a lot of videos of guard players like Heo Hoon of Suwon KT and Lee Jae-do of Changwon LG. I try to learn how to save my teammates by watching my own offense when playing 2-on-2,” he explained.
At the end of the interview, Lee Hyun-ho revealed his goals and determination. “We’re going to do what we’ve been doing, which is to play a full-court press defense and have a fast offensive tempo.
