The first overall versatility and Moon Jung-hyun's "mad talent" are increasingly appearing.

Suwon kt won 76-65 in the 2024 DB Insurance KBL Cup against Changwon LG at Jecheon Gymnasium on the 8th and succeeded in advancing to the semifinals with two consecutive wins.

Ace Huh Hoon's strong performance and Jeremiah Tillman's competitiveness under the basket are the reasons for KT's victory. On top of this, Moon Jung-hyun proved his versatility and led the team to victory.

In the game against LG, Moon played 25 minutes and 46 seconds, recording four points, six rebounds, and seven assists. KT was also able to smile thanks to him who showed off his solid defense, rebounding, and a sense of assist.

"We won the last group game and are happy to go to the semifinals. I feel even better because we won even though we didn't use all the patterns we prepared," Moon said. "Personally, we need to shoot. (Moon) Sung-gon said that if he plays defense, his shooting balance can be impaired, but I want to improve his shooting success rate by perfecting his physical strength."
On the day, Moon showed outstanding performances in many areas, even serving as an assistant to Heo Hoon. What he has prepared since this summer is slowly appearing on the court.

"Coach Song Young-jin didn't know that I could dribble until last season. I tried hard to show him while practicing all summer long," Moon said. "It can be tough if (Heo) Hoon manages the game alone. I prepared to play an assistant lead role every time," he said. "I liked it because I played with (Park) Moobin when I was a student at Korea University."

"I don't know if I can say this, but honestly, I can see everything (laughs). I watched highlight videos of players three or four times to find out what kind of plays are good for them. Maybe that's why I can play more easily," he added.

Moon's most outstanding talent is defense. He blocked EJ Anosike at the last EASL San Miguel Beermann match. He then faced Dionte Burton at the Busan KCC match and Carl Tamayo at the LG match. 메이저놀이터

"I am using all my physical strength to defend myself. I need to build up my physical strength to play for all 40 minutes so that I can show better performance," Moon said. "The coach told me I don't need to lose weight (laughs). He told me to keep it." "I can pull off all of the 1, 2, 3, and 4 because I can survive only that way. I am not very tall nor short. Being versatile can be a strength, but it can also be a weakness. I need to make good use of that part and show it on the court."

After just one season, Moon's presence has changed. In the 2023-24 season, he has become an indispensable player at the KT Wiz, provided that he had high expectations as a top rookie.

"In fact, I felt pressure last season," Moon said. "I couldn't overcome people's attention. That's why I worked hard and if things don't go well, it's all my fault. I am confident because I worked hard," Moon said. "I will do my best not to be disappointed as much as coaches and coaches give me trust."

"I want to ask more questions if I don't know anything. Even if I do weight training, I try to raise my weight more. I'm confident that I won't lose out to anyone else," he said in the interview.
