Reporter Park Ji-hyuk = Woori Bank Asan, a women’s professional basketball team, won the regular league title for two consecutive seasons. It is the 13th in history.
Woori Bank, led by coach Sang-woo Lee, won a 55–29 match against Busan BNK in the final game of the KB Kookmin Bank Liiv M 2020-2021 Women’s Professional Basketball Regular League held at the Busan BNK Center on the 21st.
Having won 22 wins (8 losses), Woori Bank held a ride against KB Kookmin Bank in Cheongju (21 wins and 8 losses), which was second place in a semi-match, and secured first place in the regular league regardless of the results of KB Kookmin Bank’s final match.
Even though KB Kookmin Bank won the final match with 22 wins and 8 losses, Woori Bank is ahead of KB Kookmin Bank with 4 wins and 2 losses.
As a result, Woori Bank reached the top of the two seasons following last season, which ended early in the aftermath of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). It is the 13th regular league championship.
Manager Wi, who has taken the lead at Woori Bank from the 2012-2013 season, led the championship in the regular league for the eighth time in his career.
Woori Bank, which has advanced to the semifinal playoffs with No. 1 in the regular league, will compete with Samsung Life Insurance, which is fourth place, from the 27th in a three-to-two best match. The winning team advances to the championship match (5 matches, 3 best games).
The second-largest KB Kookmin Bank’s partner is Incheon, the third-place Shinhan Bank. It starts on the 28th.
Woori Bank won the combined victory for six consecutive seasons from the 2012-2013 season to the 2017-2018 season.
However, in the 2018-2019 season, KB Kookmin Bank took the first unified championship with the national center Park Ji-soo, and the era of’Our Dynasty’ seemed to come to an end.
Last season was not properly evaluated due to the early termination variable due to Corona 19.
Winning this season is meaningful. This is because there were many prospects that KB Kookmin Bank, which owns Park Ji-soo, will be the’absolute first-run’ due to the abolition of the foreign player system.
In addition, Woori Bank was unable to operate 100% of its power because Park Hye-jin and Kim Jong-un, the core of the team, were injured.
Signboard Park Hye-jin suffered from acute plantar fasciitis and was unable to start with it, and veteran Kim Jong-un ended the season by going to the operating table with an ankle injury in December last year.
Park Ji-hyun, Kim Jin-hee, PR Ram, Choi Eun-sil, etc., centered on Sonia Kim, filled the void with old and new harmony, and Park Hye-jin, who joined late, added strength.
On this day, Woori Bank took the lead early in the first quarter with 14-0.
Park Hye-jin scored 24 points, including six 3-point shots, and Park Ji-hyun scored a double double with 14 points and 17 rebounds. Guard Kim Jin-hee did not score, but she added strength with 8 assists.
BNK won 9 consecutive losses and finished the season with 5 wins and 25 losses. On this day, 29 points were disgraced as the record for the minimum score in a single game.
