[벤치명암] Woori Bank Director Sang-woo Lee “Hyejin is the key to the game, Eunsil is the hidden protagonist of this season”

[점프볼=인천/장도연 인터넷기자] Woori Bank defeated Shinhan Bank and succeeded in winning two consecutive games.

Asan Woori Bank won the fourth round match against Incheon Shinhan Bank in the KB Kookmin Bank Liiv M 2020-2021 women’s professional basketball game held at Incheon Dowon Gymnasium on the 14th with 64-61. Woori Bank was tied for 3rd with 15-5 and Shinhan Bank 10-9.

Choi Eun-sil led Woori Bank’s 2nd straight win with 22 points and 3 rebounds, Park Hye-jin with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, including 3 3-point shots, and Sonia Kim 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Shinhan Bank, which ended a three-win streak, played 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, including Kim Dan-bi 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Han Chae-jin 5 three points.

Seungjang Sang-woo said, “Even in the absence of (Kim) Jung-eun, the players played well by jumping one step at a time. I was surprised to see Shinhan Bank’s 3-point shot in the first quarter. I thought it was a shooting machine. Fortunately, I think the reason we were able to follow suit was because we played aggressive basketball. Above all, the height of today’s game was (Park) Hyejin who played full time.”

Woori Bank allowed Shinhan Bank to shoot seven three-point shots from the first quarter, but in the second half, it changed the defense and did not easily give an outside chance.

Manager Wi said, “It is still difficult for Jin-hee (Kim) to stop the seasoned players of Shinhan Bank. So, in the second half, I left Boram (Hong) to defend a greater weight. Boram, like a veteran, was a big help in defense.”

Woori Bank escaped by 15 points with 7 minutes and 44 seconds left in the fourth quarter, but was allowed to pursue after being scoreless in the second half of the 4 minutes.

“It seems that the players thought the game was over. Concentration and stamina had declined. I think this part cannot be helped.”

Regarding Park Ji-hyun, “(Park) Ji-hyun is young, so there is up-down. I think it will be possible for several seasons to come. Recently, scoring is also scoring, but defensive and rebound are also poor. You have to hit more and come up here to become a good player. Ups and downs are homework to be solved.”

He did not forget to mention Choi Eun-sil, who made a big success in karate on this day. “(Choi) Eun-sil is the hidden protagonist that we were able to leap up again this season. Even with (Kim) Jeong-eun, Eun-sil’s role is very large. In the future, I would like to do better only the slow adjustment on the court,” praised Choi Eun-sil.

Shinhan Bank manager Sang-il Sang-il said, “The players followed well as they prepared in Karate. I am a bit disappointed by the offense of the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but I am positive that today’s game will serve as the foundation for the future. I will prepare well for the next game,” he said.

Regarding the explosive first quarter attack, “The process of creating an outside shot chance was good. Rather, the turnover was disappointing. I have no regrets about today’s game.”

Shinhan Bank ignited the pursuit by tying the opponents without a score for the last four minutes of the fourth quarter. Regarding this, “usually, there are many teams that collapse when there is a big difference in score in the first half, but it seems that Woori Bank is the strongest team. What couldn’t be followed is our ability. “I think I will have to strengthen my game performance again.”

When asked about the goal for the second half of the season, he succinctly answered, “I am aiming for 3 wins in the remaining games in January.”

Shinhan Bank will have an away game against Busan BNK in Busan on the 16th. Coach Jung said, “It’s a pity that we couldn’t arrange the stamina of the main players because there was no garbage today. I plan to train in Busan at 1 pm tomorrow. It’s hard physically, but I think the body can control it with the mind,” he said and left the interview room.
