Even though the weather was overcast and the temperature dropped due to winter rain, the enthusiasm of fans to see the top professional basketball stars was strong. The 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball All-Star Game, held at Goyang Sono Arena, the home stadium of Goyang Sono on the 14th, was an exciting feast enjoyed by both players and fans, as befits the best festival in professional basketball.
This professional basketball all-star game attracted attention even before the game due to the enthusiastic interest of fans. The enthusiasm of fans was so great that all 5,561 seats were sold out in just 3 minutes after ticket sales began on the 8th.
In fact, two hours before the game started, there was a long line of fans waiting to enter the stadium, attracting attention. Yoo Seung-ah (25), who came from Jamsil, said, “I am a fan of SK in Seoul, but I am a bit disappointed to hear that Kim Seon-hyung cannot appear. “Still, I have a lot of expectations because a lot of other players are coming out,” he said with a smile. Cho Seung-won (39), a fan of Busan KCC, said, “Heo Woong and Choi Jun-yong play for different teams, so it would be fun for them to face each other.”
The match on this day was a match between Team Kblemong and Team Gong Aji. Team Kblemong was led by Heo Woong, who ranked first in the fan vote, while Team Gong-Aji was scheduled to be led by Heo Hoon (KT), who ranked second in the fan vote, but was unable to participate due to an injury.
The players were also excited for the first time in front of many fans who visited the stadium. The previous day, the players invited 120 fans to a large cafe in Goyang City, had coffee time, and had a great time participating in various games, talk shows, and photo times. On this day as well, whenever they had a break, such as strategy time, they held various events with fans. I had a great time hyperventilating.
The highlight was the third quarter. Team Kblemong's coach Kim Joo-seong and Team Gong-a-ji's coach Sang-hyun Cho wore the uniform and played as players. Coach Kim, who was the best big man in professional basketball during his career, was matched up with Kim Jong-gyu of the same team, and Coach Cho also faced the tight defense of Lee Kwan-hee of the same team. In particular, Coach Kim showed off his rust-free skills by successfully hitting shots under the goal twice and even showing fantastic defense by only hitting the ball from behind when Kim Jong-gyu broke through.
In the 3-point shot contest and dunk shot contest, which are key events of the All-Star Game, the performances of domestic and foreign players were mixed. In the 3-point shooting contest, in which only 4 people advanced through the preliminary round to the finals, Lee Geun-hwi, whose talent KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin praised by saying, “If you throw 10 shots during training, you will get 11 shots,” won the championship and made the fans smile brightly. Geun-Hwi Lee, who scored 22 points in the preliminaries and advanced to the finals in first place overall, scored a whopping 27 points in the finals, defeating Andrew Nicholson (Korea Gas Corporation, 21 points) by a wide margin.
