KB Stars’ Kim Wan-soo on how to capitalize on ‘first regular game with ARQU’

September 1, 2024 No Comments

KB Stars suffer their first loss in the Park Shinjah Cup.

The Cheongju KB Stars lost 64-74 to heavy favorites Toyota Antelopes in the first game of the 2024 Woori Bank Park Shinjha Cup at the Asan Sunshin Gymnasium on Wednesday.

The result was not surprising. The game was already tilted in Toyota’s favor before the game. KB Stars were missing Kang Yiul and Kim Min-jung, as well as limited minutes for Yoon Ah Yeom and Heo Ye-eun, while Toyota fielded a near-strength lineup, 사설 토토사이트 albeit without one of their key players, Mai Yamamoto (25, 165 cm, point guard).

From the start, Toyota struck first. It seemed to be going as expected. KB Stars showed determination. They took a 16-14 lead after one quarter. In the second quarter, Toyota again played their best lineup and widened the gap. The gap continued to widen. Toyota continued to take a 10+ point lead. KB Stars tried their best. Despite being at an absolute disadvantage in height and skill, the players’ determination and will, combined with various defenses, kept them in the game, and they narrowed the deficit to 7 points late in the fourth quarter, sparking hopes of an upset.

Yoon Ah Yum battled back from injury to finish with 10 points and four rebounds, while Moe Nakata added 10 points, two rebounds, and three assists. Surprise performances made the loss feel less painful. Third-year player Lee Hye-ju scored a whopping 23 points to help avoid a blowout loss.

Lee’s performance gave KB Stars a glimmer of hope, but it also revealed another challenge.

Newcomers Moe Nakada and Moera Shida were utilized as Asian quarters. Nakada played around 28 minutes, while Shida played just over five minutes. Shida finished with three points. That’s enough to make a meaningful impact. Nakada has been playing the inside role at the 3 since the scrimmage. Sida was the opposite.

This day was no different. Nakada was mainly inside, acting as a control tower and digging under the basket. Sida seemed to play the role of secondary reading and bringing up the energy level on defense.

The KB Stars have a big hole on the inside and on the squad with the departure of Park Ji-soo. The roles of both players could be crucial.

“I’m planning to use Nakada as the No. 4,” said Kim Wan-soo. I’m not 100% satisfied with today’s game. I’m asking for more aggressive attacks rather than passing. His passing, control and stability are good. But he needs to adjust his style. He’ll get better. Cida played a short time. I’m looking forward to it. I’m thinking of using her as a No. 1 or No. 2.”

Kim continued, “It’s hard to tell from one match. (Yeom) Yoon-ah joined us two days ago, and (Heo) Ye-eun joined us yesterday. We have to organize again after today’s game. The concept this season is strong defense and fast offense. I think we showed a little bit. It’s positive. We need to keep adjusting. With (Kang) Yi Seul-yi and (Kim) Min-jung joining us, we will be more organized.”

Cheongju KB

Even if this series ends in Game 4, it will end on the 16th,

so KB will be able to play the championship match in a situation where it has a physical advantage regardless of who the opponent is.

This is the first time KB has advanced to the championship game two years since the 2021-2022 season,

in which it swept the regular league and championship game.

Last season, they failed to advance to the semifinals.

Cheongju KB finished the first quarter on this day with the score tied at 14-14 and started with an 8-point lead in the 3rd quarter,

but gave up 3 points in a row to Hana One Q’s Kim Si-on and Jeong Ye-rim, falling behind by 2 points.

With 4 minutes remaining in the third quarter, when KB was ahead 40-35,

Hana One Q veteran Kim Jong-un got two free throws but missed them all.

On the contrary, Cheongju KB did not lose control of the game by combining Park Ji-soo’s scoring and Kim Min-jung’s three-point play to run away with a 45-35 lead.

Hana One Q

Hana One Q chased again with 3-pointers from Jeong Ye-rim and Shin Ji-hyun,

but KB widened the lead to 54-41 with Kang I-seul completing another 3-point play 21 seconds

before the end of the third quarter.

In the first attack of the fourth quarter, KB widened the gap to 57-41 with Heo Ye-eun’s 3-pointer,

and showed an absolute advantage in all 9 games against Hana One Q this season,

including the regular league and playoffs.

KB Park Ji-soo achieved a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds,

and Kang Iseul also contributed from the outside with 21 points.

Hana One Q, which made it to the playoffs for the first time since the team was founded in 2012,

played hard with Jeong Ye-rim scoring 20 points and Kim Jong-un scoring 14 points,

but after a short ‘spring basketball’, they will look forward to next season.

Women’s Basketball Hana One Q, Escaping 4 Straight Losses… BNK, The Lowest Ranked Team, has Lost 10 Times in a Row

Hana One Q wins 72-69 over BNK… Kim Jong-un made a great performance with 23 points and 6 rebounds.

Bucheon Hana One Q, a women’s professional basketball team in which veteran forward Kim Jong-un played a big role,

plunged last-place Busan BNK into a deep swamp of 10 consecutive losses. 카지노사이트원

Hana One Q defeated BNK 72-69 in a close match in the Woori Bank Woori WON 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball regular league home game held at Bucheon Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on the 1st.

4th place Hana One Q (8 wins, 14 losses), who ended their 4-game losing streak,

widened the gap with 5th place Incheon Shinhan Bank (7 wins, 15 losses) to one game,

increasing their chances of advancing to the semifinals of the playoffs (PO).

On the other hand, BNK fell into a swamp of 10 consecutive losses,

putting to shame their achievement of advancing to the championship game last season.

BNK (4 wins, 19 losses) is in last place, three and a half games behind 5th place Shinhan Bank.

BNK, which had been dragged throughout the game,

succeeded in tying the score at 65-65 with Jinan’s score 3 minutes and 51 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter.

However, they immediately gave up a mid-range shot to Jeong Ye-rim,

pulling them back to a 2-point lead, and were unable to turn the game around as they were unable to score for about 3 minutes.

In Hana One Q, veteran Kim Jong-un led the way in victory with 23 points and 6 rebounds.

Kim Jong-un, who played his part not only in the bottom of the goal but also on the outskirts by hitting three 3-point shots,

also played a big role in defense by blocking the opponent’s players in the line between Jinan and Kim Hanbyeol.

Shin Ji-hyun added 11 points and 9 rebounds, and Yang In-young added 10 points and 7 rebounds.

However, just before the end of the game,

Hana One Q suffered bad news when Jeong Ye-rim complained of pain and fell on the court when Ahn Hye-ji committed a foul.

Jeong Ye-rim, who was unable to stand up on her own, left the court on a stretcher.

In BNK, Jinan played hard with 22 points and 13 rebounds.

For BNK, it was painful that the outer artillery was broken.

He attempted 21 3-pointers, but hit the rim only four times.

Starting point guard Ahn Hye-ji threw six 3-pointers, but all of them missed the rim.

“Yellow Devils” and “Bad Girls” spice things up…women’s basketball opening media day

October 31, 2023 No Comments

The media days leading up to the opening ceremony are always a provocation. On the surface, everyone smiles, but underneath it all, there is no hiding the will to win.

Park Ji-soo, 25, of the Cheongju KB in the women’s professional basketball league, is one of the most determined players in the six clubs this season. At the 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball Media Day held at Hotel Rivera Cheongdam 바카라사이트 in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on March 30, Park was by far the player who received the most attention.

Park briefly left the court last year after suffering a sudden panic attack ahead of the Women’s Basketball World Cup. She returned midway through the season, but was sidelined in February this year with a dislocated ligament in her left finger. As the team’s pillar fell, so did KB, which finished the season in fifth place.

Park smiled broadly at the fans at the media day, saying, “(Media days) always have a hard atmosphere, but it’s like an event and it’s fun.” However, her smile quickly faded and tears filled her eyes as the video showed her struggles last season.

“I really want to show my true self,” Park said, “I didn’t play much last season, and I wasn’t good enough for the Asian Games team. I will improve as the season progresses,” she said.

A ‘healthy’ Park Ji-soo could be a game-changer in the women’s professional basketball world. In fact, heading into the season, Park was the overwhelming favorite for Most Valuable Player (MVP) among fans (30.3%), players (52.4%), and media (67.7%). Even as the favorite to win the title, KB led defending champion Woori Bank by a wide margin in fan (36.8%), player (47.6%), and media (55.4%) voting. Park’s name carries a lot of weight.

“Our tagline for this season is ‘Yellow Devil,'” says KB head coach Wansoo Kim. When you watch a national soccer team game, there are red devil cheerleaders, and the players wear red uniforms, which gives them a sense of authority. Our team color is yellow, and we want to make yellow the devil’s color for the five teams we play this season.”

Of course, other teams are not going to let KB’s dominance go unchallenged. Especially Kim Dan-bi, who led Woori Bank to the title last season, earning herself the ‘Combined MVP (regular season + championship game)’ award and her first championship in 16 seasons. “When (Park) Ji-soo first came to the pros, I told her, ‘You’re going to be a treasure for Korean women’s basketball,’ and that’s exactly what happened,” Kim said. “As an older sister, I’d rather bully Ji-soo into not winning the MVP so that she doesn’t settle for anything less.”

The other teams also had some unusual entries. Last season’s runner-up, Busan BNK, put “energy” front and center. “Just as drinking an energy drink makes your heart pound, we will show a fiery side that will make (fans) feel excited while watching us play,” said BNK coach Park Jung-jeong. Yongin Samsung Life coach Lim Geun-bae said, “The direction we need to go is ‘Bad Girls’. It’s about being a little stronger. I believe that we will be bad girls in a good sense, not in a bad sense,” he said, adding that they will stick together.

The 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball League will begin its five-month campaign on November 5 with the opening game between Woori Bank and BNK at Asan Sunshin Gymnasium.
