[Osaka (Japan) = Reporter Ryu Dong-hyuk] This summer's change in Wonju DB coexisted with expectations and questions.

Japan's off-season training in Sapporo and Osaka, Japan, is a thorough test stage. It is a testing ground for checking existing core power and selecting strong rotation members.

For now, the verification of Ethan Albano and Chinanu Onuaku is over. The same goes for Kang Sang-jae and Kim Jong-kyu.

The power inspection of the existing core was acceptable. The selection of rotation members continues. There is a player who stands out.

Lee Yong-woo's impact is powerful. Following the Sapporo practice game, it continues in Osaka.

Lee Yong-woo, who went through Konkuk University of Anyang High School, challenged the rookie draft as an early entry in his third year of college. He was selected in the rookie draft of the 2020-2021 season as the ninth place in the first round.

Although he is short at 1m83, he has the best defense ability in college, and his shooting was also good enough to work immediately in professionals.

However, there was frustration. The position was ambiguous. His small height of 1 m83 and his ability as the main ball handler was diminished. In addition, there was a physical problem. As he lost power, he couldn't fully pour out his defense and shooting capabilities on the court,

When the managing director joined the army in May 2022, he was desperate. I did weight training twice a day almost every day. Lee Yong-woo came into the profession and felt the limitations of his physicality. "I've never done weight training systematically before.""I worked on weight twice a day at the office. He said, "I have a constitution that doesn't stick to muscles well, but I was able to increase my weight by 3-4 kilograms."

It's not noticeable, but I'm definitely bigger than before. As power gained, defense and offense using speed, which are advantages, gained momentum.

DB coach Han Sang-min "He's a pretty good player, but he definitely improved with his power." Order Deep 3 this season. The shooting is accurate, but there are many set shots with slow shooting timing. The reason for throwing Deep 3 is to avoid checks from defenders and to widen the breakthrough space. Lee Yong-woo trained a lot.

Lee Yong-woo played an active part in offense and defense during off-season training in Sapporo. Since it is a practice match, accurate data are not available, but DB team officials also "The most noticeable player is Lee Yong-woo." He flew around Sapporo."

Lee Yong-woo "I think the competition to join the rotation member is fierce now. I have no choice but to do my best to take this opportunity."
