The 61st Spring National Men's and Women's Middle and High School Basketball Federation (hereinafter referred to as Spring) ended with the victory of Gyeongbokgung High School.

MVP Yoon Hyun-sung lived up to his expectations in the final. During winter training, many people rated Yoon as the best big man in high school this year. However, his performance did not live up to expectations. From the second half of the semifinal against Songdo High School, he showed his fame and dominated the final with 30 points and 13 rebounds.

Captain Lee Keun-jun had 19 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two blocks. All records except for scoring were the team's best. He was also a "Best Supporting Actor" in the final.

The strongest Gyeongbokgung Palace has another shining supporting role. Lee is the only guard who played full time from the quarterfinals to the finals. "All the players did well, but especially Lee Byung-yeop, who was good at maintaining concentration on the backcourt," said Lim Sung-sung, the head coach of Gyeongbokgung Palace

Lee's backcourt partners are 2nd grade Lee Hak-hyun and 1st grade Yoon Ji-hoon. Both players have little experience. Yoon did not participate in winter training because he participated in the "2024 KBL Prospective Overseas Training Project." Still, the backcourt at Gyeongbokgung Palace was strong. It was because there was Lee who played different roles depending on the partner.

"When I play with Lee Hak-hyun, I pay more attention to leads. Yoon Ji-hoon plays aggressively because he is a leading player." It is not easy to change his style of play during games, especially for high school players. But Lee did a good job.

In the final, Lee ran for 24 minutes and Yoon Ji-hoon ran for 20 minutes. Lee ran for 40 minutes and balanced the court. Last year, he took part in a winter training session in poor condition due to an ankle injury. Fortunately, it did not take long for him to return to normal and he increased his competitiveness on the backcourt.

Lee's strength is pass. And defense. He led his team to league championships in his third year of middle school, and won the Most Valuable Player, Help, and Defense Award. He also has shooting ability. In the spring finals, he averaged 2.8 3-pointers. He has good offense and defense balance.

The challenge is to lead the team. The promised pattern creates a good pass even in a small space. Still, you can't see the whole court, he says. "Until last year, I was in a position to support the older members," Lim said. "You will be able to see Lee Byung-yeop change as time goes by." [와이즈토토](https://www.totositeweb.top/)

Lee's goal is to "win every competition he participates in this year and make the 18-year-old national team." In the long run, "He becomes an integral player for the team." Whether it is a college or a pro, it is to faithfully perform the role that the team wants.

There is no main character in the basketball team of Gyeongbokgung High School. He has only many shining supporting characters. This year, Gyeongbokgung High School is different from last year. If Gyeongbokgung High School's spring performance continues all season, its goal of winning all titles will not be in vain.
