Superstars of a super team are this tightly bonded. Heo Woong and Choi Jun-yong, who are dominating the championship finals, had no hesitation in praising their teammates.

On the 7th at 7 p.m., KCC defeated Goyang Sono 96-78 in the second game of the 2025-2026 LG Electronics Professional Basketball Championship finals, played as an away match at Goyang Sono Arena.

The super team's offensive firepower exploded. On this day, Heo Woong scored 29 points, including six 3-pointers, while Choi Jun-yong recorded 25 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three blocked shots, dominating Sono on both offense and defense.

In a post-game interview, Heo Woong reflected on the match, saying, "All the players were well aware of the importance of the second game. Since Sean Long dominated the paint in the first game, we expected the opposing defense to adjust." He added, "The opponent chose to focus on containing Sean Long and leave the perimeter open, which gave us many easy shooting opportunities and became a key factor in our victory."

Heo Woong also praised Choi Jun-yong's defensive abilities. He said, "Jun-yong does an excellent job of cutting off passing lanes. In 2-on-2 defensive situations, when Sean Long covers the shots of opposing players Lee Jae-do or Lee Jung-hyun, Choi Jun-yong perfectly blocks the inner side rotation." He expressed his trust by adding, "Since we have practiced so much together, as long as we prepare well for rotations, the next game will be no problem."

Following him, Choi Jun-yong appeared and shared his thoughts on becoming a member of the "super team" with his characteristic frankness. He said, "When I watch us practice, I often feel surprised, thinking, 'I'm really playing with players like these.'" He also mentioned, "Sometimes I tell my teammates, 'Our roster is unbelievable. As long as we don't scatter like Dragon Ball, we're good.'"

Choi Jun-yong continued, "How often can I play alongside the Heo Woong and Heo Hoon brothers, and with Sean Long and head coach Lee Sang-min, a super star? There are times when my heart races with excitement. I feel like I've succeeded." He could not hide his overwhelming emotions.

Choi Jun-yong, who sealed the victory by targeting Sono's number 4 position on this day, showed confidence, saying, "My mindset was to firmly block the opponent's top three options and let the rest go, trusting that our players would handle them." He added, "The coach and teammates instructed us to play confidently, noting that the opponent's number 4 defense is weak. We have always been preparing to gain an advantage through matchup hunting."

Regarding KCC's generous investment and the combination of members in their prime, Heo Woong also said, "Playing with good teammates during our prime years is a stroke of luck. Every year is precious." He added, "Just playing with such great players is no small feat. I am grateful for the club's support."

With this victory, KCC achieved a 2-0 series record on the road, surpassing the 70th% mark toward the championship. Heo Woong said, "It was regrettable that two years ago we missed the championship at home and had to lift the trophy on the road." He vowed for a four-game sweep, stating, "If we win up to the fourth game, we can win the championship at home. I want to definitely raise a toast in front of Busan fans."
