Yonsei University’s Lee Min-seo contributed to the team’s victory by cheering enthusiastically off the court despite his injury.
Yonsei University defeated Korea University 57-54 in a regular match against the 2024 team held at Goyang Gymnasium on Sunday. Since this year’s regular match will be hosted by Korea University, the official name will be “Kyojeon.”
On this day, Yonsei University was led by Lee Ju-young (14 points) and Kim Seung-woo (10 points), and Choi Hyung-chan and Kim Bo-bae scored important points at the end of the fourth quarter to defeat Korea University.
Yonsei University, where all the players on the court burned everything they had, but there was also someone who cheered off the court. Lee Min-seo, who is recovering from injury, also raised his team members’ spirits by raising his voice of support from the bench.
Lee Min-seo said, “I’m not in the court, but I watched with my team how (Yun Ho-jin) and the youngest (Kim) Seung-woo prepare for the game. I prepared hard enough to win, and I want to thank the coach in particular. You worked so hard, and I want to take this opportunity to say thank you.”
Lee Min-seo, who enjoyed victory as a member of Yonsei University, must have something to be desired. Lee was cited as the main culprit for his team’s loss at the end of the fourth quarter due to excessive play in the regular match last year. However, Yonsei University will be able to secure victory and lay down its heavy burden on Lee.
“I feel sorry and grateful to the players. It would have been better if I had won while playing on the court, but all the players did a great job. I was rooting for them from the bench, but all the players did a great job, so I’m very happy. Personally, I’m disappointed. I think I should come back after recovering from the injury and do my best to show them,” he said.
Meanwhile, what is Lee Min-seo’s knee condition like in the MBC Cup final? On the surface, Lee was wearing bracelets and crutches. Although he is also injured, Lee has already announced his early advancement to the professional league. His recovery pace will increase the number of teams that will select him.토토사이트
Lee Min-seo said, “The rehabilitation is going so well. I think it’s natural that recovery takes time because I had surgery. I’m trying to think positively and I’m focusing on rehabilitation. The rehabilitation situation is very good.”
Meanwhile, Lee Min-seo, who did not participate in the match, met him after the match and was covered in sweat. Although he could not enjoy the court with his teammates, isn’t it evidence that he was with them in his heart.
“I was sweating while cheering, but after the game, I hugged the players, held them on crutches, and ran around on one foot, so I sweated a lot,” Lee Min-seo said with a big smile. “Actually, I really wanted to be on the podium after the victory. It was so nice to be able to sing the song of victory with my classmates.”
