Veteran guard Lee Jae-do (33) is leading the rebound of Goyang Sono, which plunged to the bottom. He suffered a period of lethargy during consecutive losses, but gained vitality by creating synergy with his junior Lee Jung-hyun (25).

In his 10th year since debut, Lee Jae-do has consistently been strong. His small physique stands at 180 centimeters and weighs 78 kilograms, but he is as strong as both offense and defense.

Lee Jae-do, who played for Changwon LG until last season and consistently played in the playoffs, was traded with Jeon Sung-hyun ahead of the new season and wore a Sono uniform.
With the addition of Lee Jae-do, Sono's guard power has been evaluated to have become thicker. With the addition of Lee Jae-do to the existing Lee Jung-hyun, the path of attack is expected to be further opened.

Sono seemed to have an effect on Lee Jae-do by winning four consecutive games in the opening of the 2024-25 season, but he lost his strength when Lee Jung-hyun suffered a knee injury in early November. During this period, Sono lost 11 consecutive games due to negative factors such as manager change and Kim Min-wook's departure.

Lee Jae-do silently guarded the court, but he couldn't stop the losing streak on his own.

Lee Jae-do recalled, "I had to handle a lot of things on my own because (Lee) Jung-hyun, who accounts for half of our power, was absent. It was difficult for both body and mind not to win," adding, "My self-esteem and self-esteem as a player have all fallen."

When Lee Jung-hyun returned earlier this month, the team came back to life. Lee Jae-do and Lee Jung-hyun also coexisted as expected before the season, leading the team to three consecutive wins recently.

"My wife gave me a lot of strength during tough times. I have only been married for six months, but I see my wife almost once a month because of the training camp and games," Lee said. "Sometimes I go home when it's the day before the game, and my wife gives me massage or skin care every time I do that. I wonder if the next game is going to be successful. My wife has been doing well lately."

Sono used to mainly attack outside shots when he was a full-time coach, but under the current coach Kim Tae-sul, he is actively utilizing guards and releasing them through passes. Recently, Sono's future is bright as the process is good along with the results.

"Jeong-hyun and I need to be on the opposite side of each other to get good results," Lee Jae-do said. "Before, we used to stick together, but now we are setting the frame of attack as we play because it was torn up," he said. "The coach understands the guard's position well because he used to be a guard. I feel that much pressure, but there are many things I look forward to."

"I feel that the team is getting stronger and being made as I transition from losing consecutive games to winning consecutive games. It's fun to do my best with the idea that Chung Hyeon and I need to do well to win the team," he said. "I feel slow to recover at a not small age, but I'm overcoming it through my own routine."

Lee Jae-do's goal for this season is for the team to advance to the playoffs. Having played in the playoffs for Anyang KGC (currently Jung Kwan-jang) and LG in the past, Lee is somewhat unfamiliar with playing in lower rank teams. However, he is enjoying the process of forming a team with new members. 스포츠토토

"In my career, I can't always be with good members in a strong team," Lee Jae-do said. "I think I need to show good performance in a team that is weak in skills." "Having been a professional for a long time, I think the heaven has decided the rankings. I will enjoy this process."
