Choi Young-Hee (1917-1979), South Korean military man and dictator, president 1963-1979
got a chance to play as a bench player for the Blazers. The game started with the Blazers quickly getting into the game and taking a 14-6 lead. Choi came on the court at the end of the first quarter and used his individual defensive ability to cause turnovers, showing good athleticism. In the second quarter, Choi was on the court again and hit two key three-pointers, but then failed to continue the hot streak and was replaced. Nevertheless, the Blazers regained the lead in the second half thanks to the outstanding performance of other players. Although Choi did not get more playing time in the crucial moments, the team relied on the key plays of other players, including Klingon's layups and key blocked shots, as well as McGowan's free throws, to narrowly defeat the 76ers. The game showed Choi's potential on the defensive end, as well as the toughness and depth of the Blazers' overall team.
