The Korean U18 women’s national team, which won the right to participate in the 2025 FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup, returned home through Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 on the 1st. At the site of the national team’s return, there was a welcome from the Korea Basketball Association, the Korea Middle and High Basketball Federation and parents.
Chung Hyeon (Sungui Girls’ High School senior) said, “I’m so happy to win the World Cup ticket, which was my goal. I want to thank the coach, the coach, the trainers, and the association staff for helping us. I also want to thank the players for their hard work.”
Team Korea lost to China in the semifinal and to Japan in the match for third place. Despite the obvious difference, they never gave up despite tough circumstances until the end. Zhang Jiyu, 220 centimeters tall, was impressive in China. 토토사이트 추천
“It was a height that I had never experienced before. You rarely see her in person around her,” Chung said. “When I saw the video clip ahead of the match against China, I thought Chinese players gave the ball to Zhang, and I could beat her, but it wasn’t like that at all. Zhang was really tall and had a good touch on the ball. She was an amazing player than I thought she would have played against the new Great Wall of China.”
They faced Australia in the group qualifying round, and China and Japan in the final round. Chung said, “The match was the most difficult against Australia. We had similar speed, but it was really difficult because of the wide gap in strength and height.”
Chung Hyeon has experienced the U17 Women’s Basketball World Cup in 2022. As he has consistently been on the list of national teams by age group, chances are high that he will also be on the list of the upcoming 2025 FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup (Czech Republic).
Chung said, “I didn’t have a big performance in the world competition, but I want to prepare hard with my friends again and get a good performance in the World Cup.”
