Shin Dong-hyeok, a rookie at Samsung, is growing terribly.
Shin Dong-hyuk from Yonsei University joined Seoul Samsung in the 2022-2023 rookie draft with the 6th pick in the first round. He understands the defensive basketball of newly appointed head coach Eun Hee-seok better than anyone else and played in all 43 games Samsung played this season. Director Eun Hee-seok is receiving trust and expectations.먹튀검증
At the beginning of the season, head coach Eun Hee-seok praised the defense, but Shin Dong-hyuk was more aggressive in attacking because of the lack of goals. In the match against Goyang Carrot at the Goyang Gymnasium on the 19th, Shin Dong-hyuk started. He ran the court for 26 minutes and 41 seconds, recording 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
16 points is his personal career high. His previous record was 14 points against Daegu Korea Gas Corporation on December 14 last year. At the time he scored 14 points, Shin Dong-hyeok tried 5 3-point shots and scored 4, boasting an 80.0% 3-point success rate. The defeat faded, but it became an opportunity for Shin Dong-hyuk to find confidence.
In the match against Carrot, Shin Dong-hyuk attempted 4 3-pointers and made 4 of them. It was literally a 3-point shot out of 100. Samsung, which gave the initiative to Carrot from the middle of the first quarter, pursued Carrot closely with Shin Dong-hyuk’s 3-point shot while aiming for Carrot’s gap. In particular, the 3-point shot 28 seconds before the end of the 2nd quarter and the 3-point shot 43 seconds before the end of the 3rd quarter made Carrot’s conversation cold.
Daral Willis (30 points), Lee Ho-hyun (13 points), and Lee Dong-yeop (12 points) contributed to Shin Dong-hyuk’s performance, but it was not enough to beat Carrot. Samsung lost 86-92 as it could not stand the match in the 4th quarter. What is encouraging despite the defeat is that rookie Shin Dong-hyuk is growing properly.
Coach Eun Hee-seok lost, but praised Shin Dong-hyuk. Coach Eun Hee-seok said, “In order for our team to develop and not go through a tough season like this season, we need more players like Shin Dong-hyuk. Even though he is a rookie, he showed a confident and active appearance. Thanks to that, our rotation has widened. I hope he develops further and becomes an indispensable player for Samsung.”
