Woori Bank Asan won the final game of the regular league and conquered the regular league. From the beginning of the season, he suffered from bad news, such as the departure of the main player due to injuries, but it is a splendid achievement based on his sticky organization and experience. Woori Bank’s regular league championship is the 13th since its foundation and the 8th since the appointment of manager Sang-woo Lee. Manager Wi said, “There were a lot of injured players, but each time the players united together cohesively, and we were able to win. The players are bold,” he said.
Woori Bank won the KB Kookmin Bank Liiv M 2020~21 women’s professional basketball regular league 55-29 away game against Busan BNK held at the Busan BNK Center on the 21st. Woori Bank, which ended the season with 22 wins and 8 losses, confirmed the championship of the regular season regardless of the results of the remaining one match of the second place Cheongju KB Stars (21 wins and 8 losses).
Woori Bank, which was hit by Hanawon Q in Bucheon on the 18th, and could not erase one remaining magic number, was in a situation where KB Stars won the day before and was pursued mentally. However, on this day, he gained an easy victory by riding on BNK’s fierce attack hunting. BNK didn’t even score a single point until they scored 14 points starting with Park Ji-hyun’s two-point shot in the second half of the first quarter. BNK finished the game with a shabby score of 29 after Jinan scored his first goal with two free throws only after 2 minutes and 5 seconds left at the end of the first quarter. This is the minimum score in one game since the launch of the women’s professional basketball. On December 27, 2018, KB Kookmin Bank broke the record of 34 points.
Woori Bank took the lead in attacking Park Ji-hyun, scoring a double-double with 14 points and 17 rebounds. Ace Park Hye-jin succeeded in six 3-point shots and played an active part with 24 points and 9 rebounds. Kim Jin-hee added 8 assists and finished with No. 1 assist this season.
This season was harder than ever for Woori Bank. The main players were injured one after another. Park Hye-jin, the center of the team, suffered a foot injury before the opening of the season. After Park Hye-jin returned after two months, Kim Jong-un suffered an ankle fracture during the game and climbed to the operating table, and the season was out. There are few games played as’complete’. After the game, Manager Wi said, “(Park) Hyejin came in after recovering in the middle of the season. I was so greedy that I was injured, so it was hard.”
However, Woori Bank relied on each other to fill the gap. The youngest players were more active than usual. Point guard Kim Jin-hee (24) scored an average of 5.38 assists per game (based on 29 games below), making it to the top of the league. Park Ji-hyun for his third year also scored an average of 15.41 points and 10.17 rebounds, and was evaluated as finally breaking out.
Park Hye-jin said, “Personally, the start of the season wasn’t good, but it’s good at the end, so it’s like I’ve been forgotten. Raised them up.
From the 27th, Woori Bank will play off with Samsung Life Insurance in Yongin, the fourth place. Manager Wi said, “The short-term fight is a long-lasting fight, but I’m worried that Park Hye-jin is the only player in our team that will come up with old power,” he said. Park Hye-jin said, “It seems to depend on whether you concentrate and pour more,” and “I wish it was good at the end. It is not over yet.”
