Woori Bank has become more astute in winning.
On the 1st, in the Woori Bank Woori Won 2023-2024 Women's Professional Basketball Regular League held at the Asan Yi Sunsin Gymnasium, the Woori Bank team of Asan won 64-54 with the Bucheon Hanaichi Q team.
Woori Bank brought in Kim Danfei (180cm, female) last season and achieved its best results. The regular season record is 25-5. In particular, he has six wins against Hana One Q. The minimum score difference is as high as 11 points. In other words, Woori Bank won by more than 11 points per game.
This season, however, things are a little different. Woori Bank Kim Jong-un (179cm, female) left the team. Yoo Seung-hee (174cm, g) was recruited as a substitute but was left out of the season in the first game. In addition, Kim Dan-fei and Park Ji-hyun (183cm, back) were called up to the national team, and Park Hye-jin (178cm, back) was unable to spend the off-season with the team due to injury.
Instead, HANA 1Q recruited Kim Jong-un. In addition, Kim Si-won (174cm, g) and Yan Ruiyi (174cm, female) were also recruited through trading. Successfully build strength.
The two teams played a great game from the first round. With only 1 minute and 20 seconds to go, the outcome was decided. Lee Myung-gwan (174cm, striker) scored the comeback goal. Subsequently, Park Ji-hyun scored the key to the game. Woori Bank won, but Hana One Q also lived up to its full potential. Therefore, the second round match between the two teams has also attracted a lot of anticipation.
In fact, the fierce battle between the two teams continued into the third quarter. However, the game was decided in the fourth quarter. This is because Woori's sophistication overwhelmed HANA 1Q's ambitions.
Woori Bank aggressively attacked the opponent's perimeter defense from the very beginning of the game. It works. I hit it out first. However, the subsequent shot missed the basket. Even under the goal, it's not easy to score. Even if Roh Hyun-ji (176cm, forward) scored on a free throw before the end of the quarter, they couldn't gain the upper hand. However, Park Hye-jin scored 10 points in the second quarter. The reversal was successful. However, 1 second before the end of the quarter, Shin Ji-hyun (174cm, defender) conceded a goal and gave up the advantage again.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Woori Bank successfully turned the atmosphere around the court with a fast-break score after a steal. In addition, Park Ji-hyun's transition score was also scored. However, the score gap failed to widen significantly. The third quarter ended with the score at 48-47.
The decisive moment of the game was in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, the two teams were conflicted. Hana 1Q, who had been performing well, suddenly collapsed in the fourth quarter. They had seven turnovers in the first six minutes of the quarter. Hana scored just seven points in the fourth quarter. All five three-point attempts missed the basket.
On the contrary, Woori Bank's competitive position is more pronounced. On this day, Woori Bank's filming didn't feel good. However, in the fourth quarter, he showed a good shooting touch. This is in stark contrast to the HANA One Q. In particular, the somewhat quiet Jin Danfei scored 9 points in the fourth quarter alone. Only 3 shots were attempted. He made two steals and created a fast-break situation. Park Hye-jin also added five more points with a fast-break score and three-point shooting. In other words, Woori Bank's maturity is ahead of HANA 1Q's ambitions.
Woori Bank head coach Wei Sang-woo also said in an interview after the game: "However, I was lucky to shoot three-pointers at critical moments. "If it doesn't happen, it's going to be a tough game until the end," he says with a smile.
Woori Bank, meanwhile, has not been in a good situation this season. The performance was also a bit disappointing compared to last season. Despite this, they showed a sharp performance in the game, with a 7-1 record. The technology and experience of the Woori Bank team members are the driving force.
