“The player I want to be like doesn’t match my frame, but Lee Seung-hyun is cool. He shoots well, screens well, rebounds well, and has a good high-low game.”
These days, when professional basketball is over the middle of the season, amateur teams are preparing for 2023 and are training in the winter. Men’s high school teams find a place for college training and play practice games. The same is true of stocks. In Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, he had a practice game with Chung-Ang University and refined his strength.
The core of Bae Jae-go’s strength is Seo Ji-woo (199cm, C). Seo Ji-woo was a national team player at the time of winning the 2022 FIBA U18 Asian Men’s Basketball Championship, even though he rarely appeared on the court. He was selected as the MVP of the high school division of the 2022 KBL Youth Elite Camp held in November last year, and his skills and potential are recognized.
Coach Lee Sang-yoon of Bae Jae High School said, “Seo Ji-woo does a little bit of weight, but it will be better if he gains strength. It’s tougher than you think. he fixes it When I came, he played a lot behind the basket and didn’t shoot much. He mainly did post-up, but now he does face-up,” he said. When that happens, he tells them to keep throwing. You can dig in when the defense sticks. If you go under the goal, you get a foul or score. I make it based on that,” he said.
He continued, “You have to have a shot to survive in college and pro. In the pro world, it is difficult to survive without a shot. He shoots well, but he doesn’t throw. Also practice a lot. I didn’t shoot because I thought there would be no one to rebound if I threw a shot,” he said. “My goal this year is to average 20 rebounds. The rebound is good. He is good at everything besides playing under the goal. I’m trying to teach him better how to screen well and fall well,” he explained to Seo Ji-woo.
Seo Ji-woo participated in 18 games in 4 competitions last year, excluding regional competitions in the weekend league, and recorded a double-double in 14 of them. The most rebounds in a game were 19 rebounds in the preliminaries against Cheonan Ssangyong High School in the spring league match.

Seo Ji-woo said, “I am preparing well for (2023). He did a lot of team defense practice. We trained by ourselves until last week, and starting this week, we will have our first practice match with (university) older brothers or high school. Depending on the opponent, I filter out what works as a pattern and what doesn’t while doing defensive training, such as coping with the perimeter defense or preparing for the big man defense. He told me how to handle winter training, saying, “He is (prepared) well in his own way.”
When asked about his strengths, Seo Ji-woo said, “I run better than I thought. In terms of activity, I am not pushed behind by my peers. He doesn’t get pushed back in physical fights, so he catches rebounds well. I am better at breaking through than post-up,” he said. “Now I am watching number 5 (center), but coach Lee Sang-yoon said that I have to go outside when I go to college, so I practice not falling into number 4 (power forward). I am practicing shooting at night or at dawn.”
At Bae Jae High School, coach Lim Jae-hyeon left for Changwon LG last year, and Lee Sang-yoon took over as coach.
Seo Ji-woo said, “When Director Lim Jae-hyun was with us, he tended to entrust us with a lot. Even during night training, he threw about 100 shots and after movement training, he told each individual to do individual training,” he said. He says that personal training should be done in the early morning or on weekends. There is a difference in the amount of exercise,” he said.
“He is not involved in shooting. You like to shoot. After going to a professional basketball broadcast, he took Seong-hyun Jeon as an example and said a lot that it was impossible to shoot in college or pro,” he said. The shot went to the non-throwing side. After coach Lee Sang-yoon comes, I go to the shooting side. He tells me about tall players.”
Coach Lee Sang-yoon is working as a commentator at SPOTV.
Seo Ji-woo said, “It’s fun. listen every time Hearing director Lee Sang-yoon’s voice is cool because he’s our director.” 슬롯사이트
Seo Ji-woo, who did not have many shooting attempts in the practice game with Chung-Ang University, said, “About one out of two shots in the practice game. “My shooting feel is still immature,” he said. “When the coach goes into the bench, he asks how many shots he threw. He tries to throw a lot, but there are times when it doesn’t go as he wants or (during practice games) he can’t think of a shot.”
Seo Ji-woo said, “I don’t think it’s bad to hear that he works hard, rebounds well, and has a shot when seen by other teams.” He shoots well, screens well, grabs rebounds well, and plays a high-low game.”
