Choi Hyun-min, who played in Sono's uniform last season, qualified as a free agent this off-season. Choi Hyun-min's destination, recognized for his value as a veteran, was Samsung. Choi and Samsung signed a three-year, first-year remuneration of 250 million won (incentive of 50 million won). Choi Hyun-min, who will try to rebuild his family by wearing Samsung's blue uniform, was met by Rookie. 카지노사이트

By signing a contract with Samsung during the off-season, Choi is taking on new challenges. Choi, who was drafted by the KGC as the fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft, has since joined the ranks of KCC, Orion, and Sono before joining Samsung as a uniform. 

"The most important thing was what the director and director said during the meeting. I thought that even though I am a veteran, I can grow up further. I trusted him a lot as he could lead my growth. That really struck me."

"The coach said he would lead me as much as possible. In the previous team, I played as many times as four, but he said I could grow up to a complete three, so he gave me a lot of faith in that. He said he was a competitive player, so let's do well together, so I wanted to learn a lot from him."

The interview with Choi took place on Oct. 16, just before the opening of the season. Choi was training during the off-season while sweating profusely after joining Samsung. I asked Choi what part he had prepared for this off-season in a new place. 

"It was my first time watching Kim Hyo-beom's training, and I divided parts by position and conducted the training. I did a lot of shooting-oriented training. Originally, I always did it as a group during team training, but I think it helped a lot because I learned a lot of skills by position. He encouraged me to use the parts I trained in practice, so I think it was a very different off-season from the past."

"My original strength was defense and corner three points. This offseason, I practiced a lot to target the midrange besides that part. I wanted to improve in that part. I think I put in a lot of effort. It's not going to go well overnight right now, but I'm practicing with a lot of effort, so I really want to get that part."

Until last season, Samsung was still at the weakest in the league. It remained at the bottom of the league for three consecutive years, and won only 14 games each in the past two seasons. How did Choi view Samsung.

"When I looked at other teams last season, they didn't look very confident. I felt they weren't strong enough. But when I came here and trained, I think they are strong enough. I think the players also worked harder than any other team in the offseason. I don't think they regressed, and I think we can be a good team this season."

"I love the training facilities at STC. I've seen them on other teams, but they're really well-equipped for basketball players to train. Also, having a nice meal right after their workout and having a sauna is another plus. I'm mostly living in a sauna these days."

During the off-season, Samsung recruited Choi Hyun-min, Choi St. Mary's and Lee Dae-sung, as well as other players, to fatten up its roster. However, Lee Dae-sung, one of the most important resources, suffered a cruciate ligament injury during the off-season, and his plans for the season have been greatly shaken. Lee's sudden injury was one of the areas that could have stirred players' excitement. 

"(Lee) Dae-sung really prepared hard in the off-season. We played practice games together and gave great performances during training, but unfortunately, he got hurt during the off-season training, so the players were confused and agitated a lot. I was shocked that the capable player was injured. However, since we have to play the season, we are preparing by talking more about it in other areas. I think all the players have prepared enough for the off-season, and other players also have a lot of potential, so we have to work hard as a member now."

Choi Hyun-min, who has been playing in the league for 12 years, first caught a basketball when he was in fourth grade. Choi Hyun-min, who encountered basketball due to his relative's influence at the time, quickly entered the path of basketball. 

"I started playing basketball when I was in 4th grade. One of my cousins was Kim Hoon. I saw him often because he's a relative, and he looked so cool when he scored 3-pointers. So I told him I wanted to play basketball, and he transferred me right away. That's how I started playing basketball in a week."

Choi Hyun-min, who served as the best airlift officer when he was in Daejeon High School. It can be seen as a different from the current situation, which has a high value as a defender. 

"There was no player that I couldn't do in high school. (Laughs) I think I started going defensive when I debuted as a professional. There were so many outstanding seniors in KGC that I thought about how I could play more and survive in my position. In that sense, it was largely because of (Yang) Hee-jong. I thought about helping my team win, and I came to the conclusion that I should pour my energy into the defense. There were so many seniors who were so good at it that I thought about what I could do better, but I think I became the current style."

One of Choi's trademarks is a three-point shot that he tries at a corner. When did he start to adjust this part.

"I'm not that tall when I look at No. 4, so I thought it would be better for me to open up space rather than target the inside so that foreign players can use the inside. I think we need three corners to play and be competitive. So I practiced that part a lot.
