The runner-up team has 21 MVP votes
KT lost the 2023-2024 professional basketball championship match against Busan KCC Aegis 70-88, held at Suwon KT Sonic Boom Arena on the 5th. KT, which lost 73-90 in the first game, won 101-97 in the second game to set the game at square one, then gave up both the third and fourth games, and KT, which had been in the series with one win, three losses and inferiority before the game, ended the playoffs as the runner-up.
On the day, Hur played full time for 40 minutes even when he was not in 100 percent of his physical condition. From the semifinal playoff, his leg muscles were not good and he even had a cold. Before the game, coach Song Young-jin said, “Hoon was not able to train in the morning due to his condition getting worse, and although he is starting, I need to check his condition to see what happens. I am worried that I will overcome cold with mental strength, but I don’t think I can even hear my voice well. We have to wait and see.”
Nevertheless, Hur Hoon played four consecutive games from Game 2 to Game 5 without taking a second rest. The record of Game 5 was 29 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals, the most points scored by any of the two teams. He flew so fast that I could hardly feel that he was a sick player, but as his brother and opponent Hur Woong (KCC) revealed, Hur is in the worst condition.
After winning the championship, Heo Woong said, “I am sharing a house right now, but I couldn’t sleep because I coughed so much. I was in pain and struggling so much that I felt sorry for him, but I was touched by how he did his best without showing his sincerity on the field. I think it was time for me to look back on myself because I showed my sincerity about basketball,” he said, applauding his younger brother’s fighting spirit.
KCC’s Heo Woong received 31 votes to become MVP in the playoff MVP voting. Heo Woong succeeded his father Heo Jae, former coach of the Korean national team who won the playoff MVP award at Kia Enterprise in Busan during the 1997-1998 season, for the first time in 26 years. He showed an outstanding performance and shed tears as he won the MVP award at his first career championship.
After Heo Woong, KCC Ra Gun-ah received 27 votes and Heo Hoon received 21 votes. The team had one win and four losses, but Heo Hoon’s fighting spirit was recognized. In addition to scoring 29 points on the day, Heo Hoon scored a total of 133 points in five matches, including 22 points in the second, 37 points in the third and 33 points in the fourth.
When Heo Jae received the MVP award, Busan Kia remained in second place with a 3-4 loss to the Daejeon Hyundai Diamondbacks, but the hard-working Heo Jae received the MVP award with 51.4 percent of the votes, 19 out of 37 votes, despite his team’s runner-up finish. If Heo Hoon had been named MVP, he could have followed his father’s true record of being the MVP of the runner-up team.
