KT's Moon Sung-gon (31, 196 centimeters) is fully engaged in off-season training for the first time in four years. Moon Sung-gon, who has built his body with ease for a long time, is talking about "happiness basketball."

With his free agent jackpot, Moon is wearing KT's uniform ahead of the last season. Having played 44 regular league games for KT in his first season, Moon recorded 5.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.7 steals for an average of 23 minutes and 6 seconds per game. His playing time has decreased, and his presence has become thinner than that of his predecessor Jeong Kwan-jang. "I think it took time for me to get used to it while trying to keep playing in Anyang. I decided what I could do to be more helpful to my team, and I think those things came out in the second half of the season," Moon said.

He also lost his position as the best defender to Oh Jae-hyun, who he kept for four seasons. "My defense at KT is bound to be different. When I'm playing defense, I try to refrain from overplaying defense by just watching balls or going to too much help," Moon said. "I've been receiving defense awards by myself for a long time. Now I'm in a position to challenge (Oh) Jae-hyun. I'll do my best to bring him back."

"My physical condition is at its best. I feel like I am properly exercising in the offseason for the first time in four years. I haven't been able to train in the offseason in four years," Moon said. "I haven't been able to train in the offseason due to injury or a transfer to the national team. I had enough time, so I was able to adjust my physical condition to my schedule. I exercised every single day during vacation as well. Especially, my ankle was not in good condition, but it got a lot better. I am very satisfied with my off-season training in many ways, which makes me happy."

He handed over the captain's armband to Heo Hoon, but the veteran still feels a sense of responsibility. "The first thing to do is to build a body that can run as much as possible and play as possible. What I am telling younger players is also encouraging. (Heo) Hoon is here, so you have to talk to him from the standpoint of helping him," Moon said. "I am trying to help him adjust by talking to soldiers a lot. If Korean players match him well, they naturally blend in well."

"Of course, my goal is to win the championship. I was so sad. Some players have left the championship, but there are still many good players. Maybe because of the championship, my players have improved a lot," Moon said with a big smile. "I wrote down my personal goal on the whiteboard at home. It's a secret. After I achieve my goal, I want to reveal it to the fans in a good mood after the end of the season." 토토사이트
