"I Still Dream of Shooting Free Throws," Confesses Coach Seo Jang-hoon; 'Rising Eagles 2' Heads to Crucial Playoff Showdown

The Rising Eagles of SBS "Rising Eagles Season 2" are set for a fateful clash against their fierce rival J-Crew for a ticket to the finals.

In the upcoming episode airing on the 30th, the Rising Eagles will move their home court to the Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Arena to compete in the "National All-Star Championship" playoffs.

Having dropped to fourth place in the playoffs following a loss in their previous match, the Rising Eagles will face off against the J-Crew, the powerhouse team of the metropolitan area with whom they share a tied all-time record of one win and one loss.

Ahead of the crucial match, Coach Seo Jang-hoon shared a heartfelt message with the players. Reflecting on his active playing days, Coach Seo said, "My dream was to become the best player in our country," expressing regret by adding, "If I had taken a bit better care of myself back then, I could have achieved so much more." He conveyed his desperate yearning to the players, admitting, "I still dream of shooting free throws."

Shaking off injury woes and stepping out with a full roster for the first time in a while, the Rising Eagles will put Jung Gyu-min, Park Chan-woong, Jung Jin-woon, Moon Su-in, and Julien Kang in the starting lineup to gain the early momentum. However, a moment of high tension gripped the court during the game as a fierce war of nerves broke out between Kim Taek and the opposing team.

Meanwhile, team manager Dara boosted the players' morale by preparing a surprise event and gifts ahead of the important match, while the rising idol group RESCENE added to the heat of the court with a special celebratory performance.

The results of the Rising Eagles' playoff match as they chase Coach Seo Jang-hoon's long-held dream of a championship will be revealed on "Rising Eagles Season 2," airing at 11:05 p.m. on Sunday, the 30th.
