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.
