Oh Jae-hyun expressed his determination to block Kawamura Yuki in the second game.

Oh played 22 minutes and 43 seconds, scoring nine points, eight rebounds, and five assists to lead his team’s victory. Oh played the longest time among bench members. This proves that Oh’s energy and utilization were high.
Oh Jae-hyun said, “The players also knew that it would be a difficult game yesterday. Even if we lost, we would never lose easily and tried to play well by showing our own colors, but I think we had a good result because all the players were energetic and played hard. All the players were happy after the game.”
Oh also had a dangerous moment when he almost got injured. Oh couldn’t get up from the court for a while after hitting his head with the opponent. Oh is suffering from colds.
In response, he said, “My head felt very dingy while I was feeling a cold. For a moment, I hit my nose and forehead, and my head rang. I was embarrassed because I felt dizzy, but after a short break, I felt better. The coach was also worried, but it was an important situation, and after I told him it was okay, I started the game again,” explaining the past situation.
In fact, what Oh Jae-hyun wants is a strong defense. The role of lockdown defender Oh Jae-hyun, who represents the KBL, is very important in blocking the opponent’s fast and strong front line. But Oh, who held on well until the third quarter, allowed Kawamura Yuki to break through in the fourth quarter. Improvements must be made in this regard.
Oh Jae-hyun said, “My physical strength had an impact, but I didn’t have much time to adjust my defense. I came to Japan after four days of coordination, and when I wasn’t ready, I allowed my opponent to break through. The coach talked a lot and the players talked a lot. I will not repeat the same mistake. I will not let that happen in tomorrow’s game.”
Meanwhile, Oh Jae-hyun of the SK Knights is called an icon of growth among basketball fans. When he was nominated for the team, he was stigmatized as a half-hearted player with weak shooting ability, but he never gave up and made rapid progress in shooting with a sincere attitude, and has grown into a perfect guard by developing game assembly ability.
In addition, Oh Jae-hyun even showed his good character by paying snacks for young dreamers at a youth event released on the club’s YouTube channel.
Oh Jae-hyun said, “Actually, I think every moment is the foundation for my own growth, and I think I play with my teeth because I don’t want to miss every moment. I started playing basketball more difficult than anyone else, and I think the opportunity that came to me will never come again because I know how desperate I am. Not all players can play like (Lee) Jung-hyun. So I wanted to prove that even if I come to the professional league with a hard time like myself, I can go to higher places. I need to go higher to make this comment more come into contact with amateur players.”
“When professional players sign autographs, it will be memorable for them. Me, too. I still have scars when I didn’t get autographs. That’s why I want to do better to younger fans. I want to give them a lot because they can be good memories and good experiences as they grow up,” he said with a smile.
