(Sports Seoul | Cheonan = Park Joon -bum) Hyundai Capital Middle Blocker Jung Tae -joon (25) is equipped with confidence.
Jung Tae -joon wore Hyundai Capital uniform in the first round in the rookie draft in the 2021-2022 season. The professional stage was not green. He played eight games in 2022-2023 and seven games in the 2023-2024 season. But after Philip Blanc was appointed last season, Jung Tae -joon was given a chance as a certain main battle.
He scored 208 points last season with 114 sets of 34 games. There are also 70 blocking scores. It is the fourth place in the blocking. In the championship match, he was responsible for the height of Hyundai Capital with the veteran Choi Min -ho, and he made a revolutionary effort.
Jung Tae -joon, who met with the magazine at Cheonan Castle of Skywalkers, said, “I think the record has been a little bit after the opportunity. It was a year I thought I had a lack of confidence. I want to give me about 75 points.”
Next to Jung Tae -joon is the veteran Choi Min -ho. It is helpful to look from the side without saying it. Jung Tae -joon said, “(Choi) Minho says a lot of words. I have one or two rooms, so I will play since then. But Minho did not.
Now we are in the fourth year. As such, ‘experience’ has accumulated to Jung Tae -joon. “I feel more likely to RBI when I try to speed up,” he said. “I think I have the eyes of reading the game on blocking than before. I think I know a little bit in the court as I go through various setters.”
Hyundai Capital chose Bayar Han (Mongolia) as a new Asian quarter. Ballards are resources that do not only do the apo -jik but also the middle blockers. He is a potential competitor of Jung Tae -jun. Son Chan -hong and Kim Jin -young are also waiting. Jung Tae -joon said, “Ballards are high and are good at RBIs.” He said, “I have a RBI for that. I don’t think it’s pushed at all. Other players have grown significantly.
Hyundai Capital will challenge the championship for two consecutive years. Jung Tae -joon said, “The team goal is, of course, I want to go through the atmosphere and situation of the championship. My personal goal is the best 7. I want to have a lot better than last year.” Beom2@sportsseoul.com
