The first round of the "2025 Hana Bank WKBL 3x3 Triple Jam" took place at Bucheon Gymnasium on Monday. An unexpected face appeared on the scene. It was Chung Sung-jo of Goyang Sono. He often participated in 3x3 competitions before joining the KBL, and visited the gym to watch the game with his Cosmo teammates.
Jeong Seong-jo said, "(Lee) Dong-yoon is the captain of Cosmo, and he is always very interested in 3x3. He told me to come and see the game because he is close to the players who run the Triple Jam competition. I came here to watch the game because it just happened to be a vacation. I think 3x3 is as attractive as 5x5 basketball. Many people came and I'm enjoying it."
Jung is the first non-elected basketball player in the KBL. Having played in 3x3 clubs, he was drafted by Goyang Sono as the second player in the third round of the KBL rookie draft last year. During his debut season, he played an average of 9 minutes and 10 seconds in 18 regular league games, recording 3.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
"I think it passed like crazy from November last year to April this year. I learned a lot every day. "I was lucky enough to play several regular league games. I didn't play very well, but as I got used to it little by little, I was proud of myself. I think it was my debut season that gained direction that I needed to go forward," he said.
Sono, who failed to advance to the playoffs by ranking eighth (19 wins and 35 losses) in the regular season league last season, is currently on vacation. Despite the vacation, Jung is concentrating on individual training. He is making efforts to make up for his shortcomings.
"Compared to elite athletes, my body doesn't seem to be completely built. Personally, I am doing physical and weight training. I am also trying to play basketball regularly. I think it is important not to lose my senses, so I am exercising carefully," said Jung Sung-jo.
After finishing the last season, Sono appointed Son. Son, an expert in power analysis, is currently in the midst of developing plans for the new season. If Jung, who boasts fast speed, displays competitive edge in team training, he will be given more chances to play in the next season.
"I think speed is my strength. I think I will be able to gain trust from the coach and his teammates if I keep up with defense or two-to-two plays that I thought I lacked while not losing speed," Jung said. I will try to get more time to play in the new season," he said.
