The Korean men's basketball team was convened on April 29. It is to prepare for an exhibition match against Japan scheduled on May 5 and 7 at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo. The current team consists of 12 young players, all of whom were born in 1996. Ha, who has consistently joined the team, is also engaged in training in a new atmosphere.
"All the players are young, and I can feel their energy as they are the youngest. The atmosphere is so nice. I am also the youngest in the team, and I am working harder to train. I think it is fun to train with my peers."
Ha's shoulder is heavy in this match between Korea and Japan. This is the first match without Ra Gun-ah, a naturalized player. With Ra Gun-ah missing, Korea has become more burdened in the under-the-basketball battle. This is why Ha's role as the No. 1 big man in the KBL starting from last season is important.
"Actually, I feel a lot of pressure. (D) Gun-ah is a legend. I don't think I can fill that vacancy alone. We have to share it with our teammates while trusting each other. I think we need to work together both in offense and defense to fill the vacancy," Ha said.
Josh Hawkinson (Shibuya), a naturalized Japanese player, is holding out. His strength is that he is 208 centimeters tall and can play both inside and outside. Ha will likely be given the special order to block Hawkinson.
"We had an exhibition match against Japan last year, but he didn't play then. I heard that he will participate this time. I looked up the video that Japan played against Australia. I even thought about how to stop Hawkinson by myself. I think I need to think about it more during the rest of the year."토토사이트 모음
This match between Korea and Japan will be held in Tokyo, the heart of Japan. Although the pressure has increased since it is an away game, it is an opportunity for young players to gain experience. If you face each other with spirit, you can expect good performance.
Ha said, "Honestly, I feel more pressure to play at home. I think it will be rather fun to play in Japan. I will do my best to show everything I can. I will play hard together to win."
