(Sports Seoul | Anyang = Park Yeon -jun) Park Chan -hee (38), a Korean basketball ‘Legend Guard’, will retire the national team. “Taegeuk Mark always made me proud of me,” he said.
Park Chan -hee will hold a national team retirement ceremony at the 1925 Men’s Basketball National Team Evaluation match held at the Anyang Jeonggwanjang Arena on the 20th.
Park Chan -hee debuted in 2010 after being nominated by Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation (now Anyang Jeonggwan) in 2010. He then played at Ginseng Corporation until 2016, and then retired from Incheon Electronics Land (now Daegu Korea Gas Corporation/ 2016 ~ 2021) and Wonju DB (2021 ~ 2024).
The national history is gorgeous. The first Taegeuk mark was held at the 2009 East Asian competition. He has been on the international stage for about 11 years until the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
During that time, Park Chan -hee has always been leading the team’s medals such as the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games silver medal, the 2014 Incheon Asian Games gold medal, the 2017 FIBA Asian Cup, and the 2018 Jakarta and Palembang Asian Games bronze medals.
Park Chan -hee, who met before the game, said, “I am so glorious and grateful.” “If the state calls every competition, it is why it is why they can retire now because they do their best to play.”
The most memorable national team is the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. At that time, the national team was called a weakness, and ‘Kang Ho’ defeated China and Japan to make this change.
Park Chan -hee said, “I won a gold medal even in the situation of power. I received attention from many people and I remember it most.”
The most important keyword is ‘responsibility’. Park Chan -hee said, “It was a burden, but Taegeuk Mark was always my pride. I always did my best with the responsibility.”
The most impressive player in the national team is Lee Hyun -joong (Guard/ Osaka Ebesa). He also recorded a double double in Qatar on the 18th. Park Chan -hee said, “The combat and determination are amazing. He is a real leader of the national team.”
Lee Jung -hyun, the same team player, said, “(Lee) Jung Hyun is much better than me.” He said, “I am very happy to see the national team.
As a coach, I started my second life. Park Chan -hee said, “I dream of dreaming as a leader. I want to expand my understanding of the latest basketball and to be a great leader in various ways.” duswns0628@sportsseoul.com
