Jung Sung-woo contributed to KT's three-game winning streak. Jung Sung-woo played 18 points, two rebounds and six assists in the 2023-2024 professional basketball regular league home game against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation at KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on the 9th. KT won 91-69 by adding a triple-double by Paris Bath (29 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists), advancing to joint third place.
Jung Sung-woo said after the game, "It's three consecutive wins after three consecutive losses. All the players did their part to win. I think we showed that we are a powerful team. It was meaningful because he showed his strength to not collapse until the last minute.
Jung showed off his presence in the third quarter when KT was trailing 35-40 in the third quarter. He garnered 13 points, two rebounds, and three assists, including two two two-pointers and three three-pointers. KT, which turned the tide with Jung Sung-woo's firepower, maintained the flow in the fourth quarter and secured an easy victory.
Jeong Seong-woo said, "I'm especially grateful to (Choi) Chang-jin." Since I am not a scoring player, I have been obsessed with making scores for my teammates. As they are players who can make points with their personal skills, Changjin advised them to think easily. "Thanks to this, I was able to make the attack simpler, and I got good results."
When Jung Sung-woo dominated the third quarter, a fan said, 'A man admitted by Yoon Dae-hyeop! A cheering tool written 'Jeong Sung-woo!!' was also frequently captured on the broadcast screen. It is a phrase that can only be understood by reading the Japanese basketball cartoon "Slam Dunk," which was popular around the world.
Yoon Dae-hyeop is a character in "Slam Dunk." All-around player Yoon Dae-hyeop said during a conversation with Seo Tae-woong, "There was a guy who only fought once in middle school but couldn't win. (When asked about Seo Tae-woong's name), Jung Sung-woo said.
In fact, the name of the player Yoon Dae-hyeop came to mind is Jung Woo-sung. Jung Woo-sung was the ace leading Sanwang Gong High School, the strongest high school in high school, and was the No. 1 high school ranking officially recognized by the "Slam Dunk" writer. Jung Sung-woo was mentioned because Yoon Dae-hyeop, who has excellent basketball skills and a floundering personality, said Jung Woo-sung's name backwards.
When asked about this, Jung Sung-woo said, "I don't know who I should thank, Yoon Dae-hyeop or the translator. Thank you to the fans for allowing me to benefit from the famous lines related to my name. Of course, seeing the placards held by all fans gives me strength," he said with a smile.
