Yonsei University defeated Korea 57-54 at the 2024 regular match held at Sono Arena in Goyang on Sunday. With the victory, Yonsei lost 10 consecutive games.

Before the game, Yonsei showed signs of diminishing performance whenever it encountered Korea University. Since 2022, Yonsei has failed to report its victory to Korea University. Therefore, Yonsei was all the more desperate for this regular game.

As the victory was long awaited by all members of Yonsei University’s basketball team, everyone on the bench ran out to the court and cheered when the ending buzzer sounded. Yonsei University’s field commander Lee Min-seo also enjoyed the joy of winning his first regular game since entering the school with a big smile on crutches.
Lee Min-seo, who met after the victory ceremony, said, “Of course, I was disappointed because I had to watch from the bench, not enjoy the victory while playing on the court, but I trusted my teammates and I feel so good to win. The players looked tired, but I also felt sorry for not being able to help next to them.”

Lee Min-seo, who led Yonsei University’s university league victory in the first half of this season, proved his value with more relaxed reading and explosive attack compared to last year. Yonsei University also took the lead by joining the rotation of freshmen such as Kim Seung-woo and Lee Yoo-jin.

However, an unfavorable factor occurred in the MBC Cup. Lee Min-seo hurt his knee and was out for the season due to a cruciate ligament injury at the last minute of the final against Korea University. Yonsei University also bowed its head after losing to Korea University 10 times in a row.

Yonsei University and its eternal rival Korea University met again after Lee Min-seo’s injury. Although ace Lee Min-seo stayed on the bench, his team members played their part and finally broke the 10-game losing streak.

“I watched everyone prepare as one for this one game. I am grateful to my teammates and the coaching staff for showing all that in the court. Of course, I will try to draft with regret, but I will prepare well to make up for my disappointment in the professional stage,” Lee said.

Lee Min-seo, who combines attack power that he has shown since his middle and high school days with more mature reading this season, is considered the biggest draft guard. There are voices of concern due to the two cruciate ligament injuries, but high ranking nomination is expected as reading, attack and size all have advantages.토토사이트 모음

Lee Min-seo finished the interview by saying, “I’m not bad with my physicality as a guard, and I’m confident in shooting distance, reading, and two-man games. Although I left school first due to injury, I believe the rest of my classmates and juniors will do better. I’m sorry for not graduating together, and I hope my juniors will grow further with my victory today.”
