Seong-Woo Ahn of Yonsei University saved the team from a crisis with two crucial 3-pointers.
Yonsei University won 78-71 in the 2023 KUSF University Basketball U-League regular league match against Sungkyunkwan University held at Suseonggwan in the Sungkyunkwan University Natural Science Campus on the 20th. Yonsei University, which won that day, ran for two consecutive victories and tied for first place with Chung-Ang University and Myongji University.
It was Ahn Seong-woo, a sophomore guard, who saved Yonsei University from a close battle with Sungkyunkwan University that day. Ahn Seong-woo played for 12 minutes and 12 seconds and recorded 6 points and 2 rebounds, and he succeeded as soon as he was substituted with 1 minute and 37 seconds left in the game and led the team to victory.
Ahn Seong-wu, who has been reborn as a sure-fire sixth man this season with blue worker-style play that focuses on defense and rebounding, now shows his value in scoring.
Ahn Seong-woo said of his victory스포츠토토, “It was a difficult game from the beginning, but I think our players did not give up and went to the end and were able to win.”
When asked why the match was difficult unlike the opening game, he replied, “Sungkyunkwan University has a tight defense and has a good shooter, so it’s a very difficult opponent. So, I think it was more difficult than before Konkuk University.”
He is being put in as the joker that changes the tone of the game this season. In fact, since the opening, he has been substituted in both games and has done his part. Coach Yun Ho-jin also picked Ahn Seong-woo as the player to look forward to this season, so he is looking forward to his role as a game changer.
Ahn Seong-woo said, “In fact, every time I play, I feel a burden and a sense of responsibility. To be honest today, I feel sorry that I did not live up to 100% of (the coach’s) expectations, but my goal is to do my best in every game. Even if it’s just one game, 100% I’m trying to run,” he said.
He also said, “I’ve just played two matches and I think I’ve been lucky so far. And the league has just started and there are many games left, so I have to focus on it and prepare. Isn’t winning two games in a row? Isn’t it the next game? It seems to be the first thing to think about.”
Yonsei’s next opponent is Dongguk University.
Ahn Seong-woo said, “I lost to Dongguk University in the league. I don’t think I will lose again to a team that lost once. I plan to focus on the next game with full power.”
