Advice From 39-Year-Old Shooter Heo Il-young... “If you’re going to Shoot Without Confidence, Sit on the Bench”
A 28-point explosion, including 3 points and 5 hits against Samsung... Look at Taejong Moon’s record of playing until he was 43 years old.
Heo Il-young is ranked third in age in professional basketball.
Ham Ji-hoon of Ulsan Hyundai Mobis was born in 1984 and is the oldest player this season. 바카라사이트
Next are Woo-seop Yang and Il-young Heo of Seoul SK.
Both were born in 1985, but Yang Woo-seop has an earlier birthday.
Heo Il-young has already become a veteran among veterans, but his ‘fingertips’ are still alive.
Heo Il-young, who left the team due to injury in early December last year, returned to the court this month.
He scored 17 points in the home game against Anyang CheongKwanJang on the 10th, and scored 28 points in the away game against Seoul Samsung on the 11th.
Janggi 3-pointer also hit 5 shots.
Heo Il-young, who is in his 15th season in professional basketball, expressed the idea that a professional player must step onto the court with confidence.
Heo Il-young, who met with reporters at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul immediately after beating Samsung 80-70, said, “I don't go in when I don't have confidence.
Whether I go in or not, I have to throw first. If a player can't throw, it's right to sit on the bench instead of running.” He emphasized.
Heo Il-young said, “Now that I have more years of experience, I can see what other players are like.
Everyone can tell when they go in well and when they don’t,” and added, “There are players who are confident even though they didn’t go in, and there are players who are hesitant even though they made a shot before.
“I wish that wasn’t the case,” he said.
He added, “If you don't go in, you can go out (to the bench) and come back in and throw.”
Heo Il-young chose his teammate Oh Jae-hyun as a player who shoots with confidence in practice.
Jaehyun Oh has been criticized for his weak shooting since he entered the professional ranks.
Unlike other players, he had a unique shooting posture in which he twisted his body to shoot, so he received many doubts as to whether he could correct it.
However, the player who participated in the All-Star Game 3-point contest as the ‘SK representative shooter’ this season was Oh Jae-hyun.
Oh Jae-hyeon won a ticket to the finals, which was given to only 4 out of 13 contestants in the 3-point contest preliminary round, and proudly got rid of the label of 'weak shooting.'
Heo Il-young praised Jae-hyeon, saying, “It seems like Jae-hyun has overcome (lack of confidence) well.
I can see that he has gained confidence when shooting in contests as well.”
Regarding Oh Jae-hyeon's unique shooting posture, he said, “I don't care about posture.
Even in American professional basketball, there are many players who have poor shooting posture but are good at shooting,” and repeatedly emphasized, “Confidence is important.”
Heo Il-young, who only wanted to play until he was 40, is said to have revised his original goal.
He looks over the records of Taejong Moon.
Shooter Taejong Moon, born to an American father and a Korean mother, began playing in Korean professional basketball in the 2010-2011 season and played for 9 seasons until the 2018-2019 season.
He played until the age of 43.
Heo Il-young said, “As long as I take good care of my body, there will be no problem.
Even then, if I am competitive, I still have the desire to play.” Heo Il-young said, “Now, I am no longer excluded from the team because I am older, as I used to be.
Coach Jeon Hee-cheol also said that he will not judge based on age.” He said.
He smiled and said, “Honestly, it's hard.
The day after the game, my whole body feels sore, starting from my waist.
If I don't get greedy and play without getting injured, there will be a team looking for me and I want to do that for one more year.”
