(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-chan = The championship match for the women’s professional basketball 2020-2021 season ends on the 7th with a confrontation between 2nd place Cheongju KB and 4th place Yongin Samsung Life in the regular league.

This championship match, which takes place in 5 matches and 3 wins, is the venue where Samsung Life Insurance, which caused a sensation to defeat Woori Bank, Asan, who placed No. 1 in the regular league, with 2 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs You will have an advantage.

Prior to the opening of the season, KB was selected as a strong candidate for the championship, being considered as’absolute first-finger’, but KB, who was pushed to the second place in the regular league after being pushed by Woori Bank, aims to’recover the honor’ by winning the championship match.

In response to this, Samsung Life Insurance is challenging the first ever women’s professional basketball team to rise to the throne in the championship match of the’regular league win rate less than 50%’. Even in domestic professional baseball and men’s professional basketball, there is no case of winning the championship of a team with a regular league win rate of less than 50%, so if Samsung Life wins, it is worth calling it a’revolutionary event’.

In terms of objective power, KB is somewhat ahead.

He won 7 games more than Samsung Life Insurance, which had a record of 21-9 and 14-16 in the regular league, and showed an edge with 5-1.

The best regular league player (MVP) Park Ji-su showed 22 points and 25.5 rebounds in two playoffs against Incheon Shinhan Bank. I got it.

Above all, it is ahead in terms of physical strength than Samsung Life Insurance, which finished the playoffs in 2 games and played until the 3rd game.

I remember meeting Samsung Life Insurance in the championship match two years ago, and winning a 3-0 complete victory in the first and second games, with a difference of more than 20 points.

After winning the 2018-2019 season championship match, Shinhan Bank, Woori, recently achieved an integrated championship for 6 consecutive seasons side by side when the playoffs were canceled in the 2019-2020 season due to a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Following the bank, it can signal the beginning of the establishment of the’KB Dynasty’.

After confirming the advancement to the championship match, Park Ji-soo said, “The playoff performance is not satisfactory,” and “I want to end the season by winning by playing a match that I can satisfy myself in the championship match.”

Samsung Life has been very weak in KB in recent years, aside from its objective power.

After winning the regular league in February 2019, she lost 14 straight matches against the regular league and the championship match, but escaped from the crisis of losing 15 straight matches with a win in the final match of the regular league this season.

It was good to beat KB in about two years, but in this game, the two teams had already confirmed their regular league rankings, so they made the bench members play evenly and did not have a significant meaning in winning or losing.

However, the prediction of experts that it would be’absolutely inferior’ in the playoffs was overturned, and after 20 years, the 4th place in the regular league defeated the 1st place team and caused an upset in the championship decision.

If Hanbyul Kim, who is strong in big games, Yebin Yoon, who showed an uptrend in the playoffs, and’Veteran Fighting Spirit’ of Bae Hyeyoon and Kim Bomi under the goal, continue a good trend, it is not only impossible to win after 15 years of the 2006 Summer League.

After winning the 2006 summer league championship, Samsung Life has climbed seven times in the championship, but all have won runner-up.

Samsung Life Insurance Bae Hye-yoon pledged, “I was thinking of sticking to the playoffs until the end, but we have no burden against KB,” and “we will face evil like the playoffs.”
