What’s the secret to Yoon’s 17 3-pointers?
“We practice shots by making them in a row rather than by number.”
Yonsei defeated Hanyang University 89-74 to advance to the semifinals of the 40th MBC Bae National Collegiate Basketball Resident Finals (Round of 6) tournament on Thursday at the Resident Gymnasium. Their semifinal opponent will be Chung-Ang University, who topped Group B and advanced directly to the quarterfinals.
Yonsei exploded from three-point range in the first quarter. They hit six in the second quarter. With 10 three-pointers in the first half alone, Yonsei built a 49-35 lead. After leading 56-35 at the start of the third quarter, including a three-pointer by Lee Min-seo, Yonsei struggled with Hanyang University’s zone defense and poor three-point shooting accuracy, allowing them to catch up.
Down 66-64 midway through the fourth quarter, Yonsei hit another three-pointer to pull away from Hanyang University.
Yonsei was outrebounded 31-38 on the night, but had an absolute advantage in three-pointers, going 17-5 from beyond the arc to secure a valuable victory.
Here’s what KU head coach Yoon Ho-jin had to say at the postgame press conference.
Game Recap
We gave our opponent another chance to catch up (after the game against Myungji). Today (24th), it was the same thing, we were not the team to lose rebounds to Hanyang, but we kept allowing offensive rebounds (Hanyang’s 18), so we were in a situation (where) we could have made up (the score difference), but we couldn’t, because we didn’t do the basics, we didn’t fulfill our promise, and we just turned the ball over on the outside, which I have to fix. The 3-point shot was going in, so I was greedy from the outside. When we have a 3-point opportunity, we encourage them to take it, but within the framework of our offense, we allow them to take it on quick outs, pattern plays, and opportunities that are created on the fast break. We set up their defense and the guys were hungry, so we played a tight game down the stretch.
Tips for making good 3-point shots
Practice shooting with success rather than number of shots. On the contrary, when such a shot came out, Hanyang University showed a picture that I wanted them to be confident in their height and speed to catch it. The Hanyang players gave it their all, thinking it was their last shot, and our players reflected on that. We have to have a meeting and make up for what didn’t work today and prepare for tomorrow’s game.
Choi Hyung-chan had more assists (12) than points (7).
I kept calling plays for him, and I think that’s why he made one of his shots (1-of-3 from three). I know Chan-yi better than anyone, and when he makes plays like that, he’s more balanced when he gets his chance. He’s a senior and he wants to do well, so he’s had some bad plays (in the NCAA) and I’m sure he felt it a lot today. There were a lot of stiff spots because Min-seo and Joo-young were 카지노 커뮤니티 supposed to break the opponent’s zone defense, which I promised them, but they did the opposite, and Hyung-chan did a good job of pushing it to Hyung-chan. I hope Joo-young or Min-seo can reflect on that part.
Seung Woo Kim’s play rating
Seung-woo showed a lot of improvement. Even if the shot didn’t go in, there was a promise between me and the defense. I was motivated and that’s why the play came out. I don’t want to think of it as a mistake because I’m a first-year player. It happened today, so I hope that when we play the big teams in the quarterfinals and finals, it will be less like that. She recognized it and told me that she made a mistake. It’s something you have to recognize and realize. I gave him an order in the middle of the match. Seung-woo is also aware of it.
It was the third day in a row, so he must have been worried about his physical condition.
I gave up the flow of the game because I was thinking about (trying to) organize my strength in the first or third quarter. I should have been more concerned with the distribution of minutes and the tactics of the game, but I wasn’t good enough. I need to study more. It’s also true that I was relaxed, so I need to reflect on that.
On why he didn’t play Kang Ji-hoon
Today, I thought about it quarter by quarter (bringing in Kang Ji Hoon at the last minute), but Hanyang University’s players came out combative. When I thought about tactics and playing time, I was confused. I thought about sending him out at the end, but Hanyang players didn’t give up until the end. If I rushed to play a player who was not fully prepared, there was a risk of injury, so I finished the game with the resources I had available.
They will meet Chungang in the semifinals.
Chung-Ang University has a lot of players with good energy among the front guards. We play Chung-Ang University in the second half of the college league (Oct. 2), and I’ve been watching them play a lot, and I think they have weaknesses. The players are confident in our system because they have seen Chung-Ang University every year. I’ll make them aware of that. If they execute that tomorrow and I stay focused and don’t get rattled, we’ll have a good game.
