"It would have been nice if I brought the victory, but I'm also satisfied with the runner-up because I came up with my brothers."
Konkuk University lost 70-79 to Korea University in the men's college championship match against Korea University in the 2024 KUSF University Basketball U-League at Hwajeong Gymnasium on the 5th.
Konkuk University had its best year, finishing third in the regular league and second in the playoffs, although it failed to win its first championship.
Cho Hwan-hee, Kim Do-yeon, Freddie, and Kim Joon-young played a big role in Konkuk University's achievement, but the performance of Baek Kyung, a freshman, cannot be left out.
Baek Kyung has drawn attention as a shooter who will be responsible for the outside of the team from winter training to prepare for this year.
However, even though he received an opportunity to play as a starter right after the opening of the college basketball league, he could not settle down during the first semester. In particular, the 3-point shooting success rate was sluggish at 20.0% (8/40).
He has changed in MBC`s Cup. While throwing 8.6 three-point shots on average, he significantly improved his three-point shooting success rate to 39.5 percent (17/43).
In the last two games of the college basketball league (Sangmyung University, Kyung Hee University), which resumed during the second semester, the three-point shooting success rate was 43.8 percent (7/16). This continued into the playoffs.
Baek had a success rate of 45.5 percent (10/22) of his three-point shots in three playoff games, including a three-point shot that led to the championship game in the semifinal playoff against Yonsei University. He had an average of 11.7 points through his three-point shots.
Baek Kyung-eun, who had 14 points and four rebounds including four three-point shots in the championship match against Korea University, said, "It was a short time if it was long or short. It was a rewarding year."
Baek Kyung was sluggish at the beginning of the season, but when he said he had settled down as a shooter throughout the game, he said, "I don't think I'm 100% in my position yet, so I'll work harder next year to raise it more and perform better than this year."
When asked how he prepared for the playoffs, Baek said, "I prepared the same thing. I try to throw more shots at dawn or at night training, and I am more attached to basketball, which is why I got this result."
He took the lead in beating Yonsei University in the semifinals and played for 40 minutes even though he was a freshman in the championship game, which is difficult to experience unless it is Korea University or Yonsei University.
"It's different from high school. It's different from MBC's, so I'm happy to have gained experience," Baek said. "It would have been nice if I had won, but I'm also satisfied with the runner-up because I came up with my brothers."
It seems to be on my mind that I failed to maintain a 12-point advantage with 52-40 in the middle of the third quarter and lost the game.
Baek Kyung said, "I'm sorry to miss an easy shot, and I'm a shooter, but I couldn't make a shot opportunity, and I couldn't make Freddie's chance to score under the basket. Our defense lacked a lot because it couldn't be done as a defense," and expressed confidence, saying, "I'll know Korea University's school well, so I'll work harder next year to win."
Konkuk University coach Hwang Joon-sam said, "You can be the ace of our team later on. You have to be more aggressive. You can't just throw shots. You know how to break through and pass, but you have to make it with a stronger weapon." 안전놀이터
Baek Kyung, who has to prepare for 2025 after taking a break, said, "I want to build my body while treating because my hamstring is not good," and vowed, "I know that I'm a player who only shoots now, but I can give him a pass next year, and I'll break through and pass to the big man or even see my scoring opportunity."
