Lee Jae-do (33), guard of the professional basketball Goyang Sono, stood in front of fans for the first time since wearing a sky blue uniform.
Lee Jae-do, wearing a Sono uniform, played in two qualifying matches for the 2024 DB Insurance KBL Cup held on the 5th and 7th. Lee Jae-do also accepted the disappointing result as Sono was eliminated without reaching the semifinals with 1 win and 1 loss, but he said, "I don't open my mind. What matters is my performance in the regular league."
Lee Jae-do transferred from Changwon LG to Sono through a trade after the 2023-24 season. Sono sent shooter Jeon Sung-hyun to LG and acquired Lee Jae-do.
As he moved to Sono, he met again with Kim Seung-ki, former coach of the Anyang Jeonggwanjang. He was in charge of the process until Lee Jae-do developed into the best guard. In addition, he will play with guard Lee Jung-hyun, who is said to have grown into one of the best guards in the league. Sono's team color has become clear, with the two guards who are fast and good at scoring.
Lee Jae-do, however, was not satisfied with his individual performance at the Cup. He only scored 10 points, scored 10 rebounds, and had nine assists in two matches. All 10 of his three-point shots failed to reach the goal. His synergy with Lee did not yield as much destructive power as expected.
Lee Jae-do, who looked back at the cup competition, said, "I didn't feel nervous, maybe because I felt like a trial game." He added, "I worked hard to check the opponent's team's power and diagnose my physical condition."
Coach Kim Seung-ki gave Lee Jae-do full-time in the match against Chung Kwan-jang in the second round of the group league. He hoped that Lee would regain his balance.
"Coach Lee Jae-do said, "I think the coach wanted me to balance myself. But it was so hard to play backcourt regardless of balance," Lee joked, "A player is definitely the best when he is in the court. I think he has improved his sense of play and physical strength."
Regarding his teamwork with Lee, he said, "He is a great player that need no further explanation. I think we can complement each other. If I can relieve Lee's burden, it will be a scary combination."
The 2024-25 KBL regular league will open on the 19th. Lee Jae-do said, "There are a lot of people who are worried about the Cup. Actually, I don't really care. I've never had a satisfactory off-season in my 10 years of professional life," adding, "I experiment in my own way. There is a way to prepare for the season, and I'm going through it well."
Sono will play at home for the opening of the new season. Sono will face LG at home two away matches after the opening.
Lee Jae-do said, "I saw the advancement. I think I will be nervous against LG. However, it is important to do better in the previous two games." 메이저놀이터
At the end of the interview, he said, "I have seen a lot of interviews with Lee Kwan-hee (Wonju DB) player. I don't think provocative comments suit me. I will just do my best to show good teamwork with Lee Jung-hyun."
