Myungji head coach Kim Tae-jin said, “Jang Hyun-seo is good at one-on-one. Chosun University plays a tight defense, so he was able to break through. There is a pattern of drilling one-on-one. (Jang Hyun-seo) took advantage of that. Even though his mid-range shot wasn’t good, he made all of them, and he made all of his floaters. That’s how she plays basketball. “I told him to pass when he’s blocked, but he didn’t get help defense, so he had a chance to score,” he said. “If he doesn’t, I told him to stop, and then his brothers would have a chance. That’s how we played in the second half. So I gave Hyun-seo a chance to attack, and Lee Min-chul could rest,” he said, praising Jang Hyun-seo.
He continued, “If we improve on our shortcomings, we can go up a level. In this winter training, she was really good, but when we played against a team with a rotation defense, she didn’t pass. “Against Chosun University, I was confident because it was her timing, and my teammates liked it. When the defense sagged (to stop her), I had the next alternative. It gave me confidence,” he added.
Lee Min-cheol added, “Jang Hyun-seo is good at one-on-one, but the defense was tight, so I had more chances, and Hyun-seo did a good job. I was grateful that she did what I needed to do.”
“It helped that I always practiced a lot at night,” Jang said, “I think I practiced more than 100 shots a day, so the shots went in.”
Jang has been a breakout player since middle school, citing it as one of her strengths. In high school, she played as an offensive guard.
As a freshman this year, Jang made a name for herself on the collegiate level by scoring the most points in a single game.
