Heo Woong (33, Busan KCC Egis) has rewritten the history of the KBL beyond his career high by performing an all-time high firepower show. He scored 51 points with 14 3-pointers, but ironically, Heo Woong's brilliant record has brought the controversy over "scoring points," the most "strange" history of KBL history, back to the surface.
KCC beat the Seoul SK Knights 120-77 in an away game in the fifth round of LG Electronics' professional basketball from 2025 to 2026 at Jamsil Student Gymnasium on the 2nd. He kept his lead from the first quarter to the end and won two consecutive games.
The main player of this day's victory was Heo Woong. Heo Woong, who played 31 minutes and 16 seconds on the day, scored 51 points. According to KBL, Heo Woong's court margin was 42 points on the day. In other words, KCC scored 42 points more than their opponents when Huh Woong was on the court. The score, which created and inserted opportunities on its own despite intensive checks by opponents such as Eddie Daniel, was enough to woo fans.
However, as soon as Heo Woong's "51 points" number was captured on the electronic display, March 7, 2004, 22 years ago passed in the minds of old basketball fans. It is a "strange" competition between Woo Ji-won (then Mobis) and Moon Kyung-eun (then E-Land).
The news was also reported to reporters entering the KBL. Through an announcement by the press corps, KBL said, "Heo Woong's record of 14 3-pointers is the third-best among domestic players. Moon Kyung-eun is ranked first with 22 and Woo Ji-won is ranked second with 21. Heo Woong is also third in scoring the most points in a game by a domestic player. Woo Ji-won ranked first with 70 points, and Moon Kyung-eun ranked second with 66 points."
Both Woo Ji-won and Moon Kyung-eun's corresponding records came out on March 7, 2004. The last day of the 2003–2004 regular season was recorded as the most shameful day in KBL history. The entire team moved for Woo Ji-won and Moon Kyung-eun, who were competing for the three-point shot title with the top scorer at the time.
The opposing team did not defend, and their teammates drove the ball to only one person. As a result, Woo Ji-won scored 70 points and Moon Kyung-eun 22 three-point shots, which is "impossible even in cartoons." The record to be blessed was strongly criticized for "de facto driving" right after the end of the game.
The reason why this 'black history' was summoned again after 22 years is paradoxically that Heo Woong's 51 points were too confident. Heo Woong's 14 3-pointers and 51 points on the day were not figures made by someone's artificial help or the opponent's tacit approval. The elaborate shots and explosive breakthroughs at every match were the result of proving himself to be the best shooter in the KBL. In particular, KCC is competing for sixth place Mercury, and Seoul SK, ranked fourth, is also valuable one game and one game to chase the lead.
Already, domestic basketball fans say Heo Woong is actually No. 1 except Woo Ji-won and Moon Kyung-eun. Although it remains in third place in the official rankings, Heo Woong's record has already become the brightest No. 1 in KBL history in the hearts of fans.
