Carrot Lee Jeong-je (32, 202cm) left for Japan to advance to the B2.League.
On the 17th, B2.League Earth Friends Tokyo Z announced on their official website that they had recruited Carrot Lee Jeong-je from Goyang.
It is a short-term contract for 3 months in the form of a lease, and Lee Jung-je left the country on the 2nd and digested his team training. He briefly visited Korea on the 14th to obtain a visa, and when the visa was issued, he left for Japan on the 15th. Lee Jeong-je, whose visa has been issued, can participate in the game as normal.
The game Tokyo Z is facing is a head-to-head match against Aomori Watts on the 20th. This head-to-head match will be Lee Jeong-je’s debut match.
Lee Jeong-je said, “I am grateful to the owner, coach, and team officials for giving me the opportunity to take on a new challenge while I was in Korea. I will do my best to help the team where it is needed. And I will try to play a game that the fans can enjoy together with my teammates.”
Lee Jung-je wore the uniform of Incheon Etland (now Gas Corporation) as the 2nd pick in the 2nd round of the 2013 KBL Rookie Draft. He had good physical condition, but did not leave a big mark in the KBL, and continued his career as a player at Busan KT (now Suwon KT) and Carrot (former Orion).
He recorded an average of 9 minutes, 40 seconds, 3.1 points and 2.5 rebounds in 34 games during the 2018-2019 season, Busan KT, when he played the most. He played only 2 minutes and 43 seconds in three games this season. Since he is a Carrot who does not participate in the D-League, he lacked opportunities to play. 카지노사이트
Coincidentally, B2. League Tokyo Z reached out to Lee Jeong-je. Tokyo Z is in danger of being relegated to the 3rd division, staying at the bottom with 9 wins and 30 losses. Tokyo Z, who had difficulty fighting for air supremacy because there was no big man taller than 193cm, saw Lee Jung-je, who is 203cm tall, as the right person.
A Carrot official said, “Tokyo Z found tall Asian quarter players. It will run from February to April. I left the country on the 2nd because there was a request to come as soon as possible.”
Tom Wiseman (former Wonju Narae foreign coach) helped Lee Jung-je transfer to Tokyo Z. A Carrot official said, “Tom Wiseman, who was a coach at Wonju Narae, is an advisor at Tokyo Z. Before the transfer, he visited Korea to see Lee Jung-je and had a meeting.”
