Disappointment, anger, and ridiculousness, Woori Bank coach Wi Sung-woo's expression, which confronted BNK at Busan Sajik Gymnasium on the 4th, seemed to have mixed feelings.
In this game, Woori Bank remained scoreless throughout the fourth quarter, but managed to avoid the 'disgrace' of scoreless' with Byun Ha-jung's solo breakthrough layup shot 18 seconds before the end. Of course, it was a 50-69 defeat. Looking at the second half alone, it was embarrassing to see it as a match between the first and second teams. Woori Bank, which had the fewest mistakes in the sector with 8.3 turnovers per game, self-destructed by committing as many as 16 turnovers in this game alone.
Coach Wi said after the game, `We are by no means a top team. It was the worst performance of the season to the point where he said, "All of them seem to be missing screws." In fact, Woori Bank has been doing better than expected until now, one-third of the season has passed. It is all the more remarkable considering that Kim Jong-un, Park Hye-jin, Choi Yi-sam, moved to another team as a FA, and Park Ji-hyun went to an overseas league, and Kim Dan-bi was virtually left alone among last year's winning members, making it difficult to be considered a top team in the first place, let alone two consecutive losses.
However, Woori Bank's biggest weaknesses were revealed in the game, and BNK persistently dug into it. It was also the ace, Kim Dan-bi Mark.
Kim Dan-bi scored 34 points and 30 points, respectively, in the match against BNK on November 2nd and 21st, and literally poured the attack 's". It is similar to the situation when Shinhan Bank was in charge of the game alone and was called the unwelcome nickname 'Danbi Bank' or 'Girls'. However, in the game on the 21st of last month, Lee Myung-kwan was firmly behind with 15 points, leading the game to extra time, and he was able to win in the end.
After confirming this anew, BNK coach Park Jung-eun turned to Park Hye-jin, Lee So-hee and Kim Sonia in the third face-off of the season on the 4th and entrusted Kim Dan-bi to defense. On top of that, it was confusing with an anomalous defense of help and regional defense, which was effective. Woori Bank hardly gained strength when Kim Dan-bi's score was cut by half to 17 points, and the offensive route derived from Kim Dan-bi, who also served as a point guard, was blocked. Even though Kim Dan-bi, who was exhausted, made an absurd pass miss after the start of the fourth quarter, and when both consecutive shots were missed, coach Wi called Kim Dan-bi to the bench without hesitation and never put him on the court again despite the scoreless streak.
In any case, like BNK, other teams will reversely use the 'Kim Dan-bi dilemma', and for Woori Bank, it is a simple but not simple conclusion that it can be overcome only when other players support it. Still, as Kim Dan-bi was sluggish in the game, Lee Myung-kwan (16 points) and Kim Ye-jin (11 points) added to the score from inside and outside, giving them their own hope. On top of that, it is clear that Han Um-ji should play a better role in the reading with Shim Sung-young, and Japanese guard duo Momona and Natsuki should play a better role in the reading to ease the burden on Kim Dan-bi.
Woori Bank tied for second place on the 7th and will meet Samsung Life Insurance in Yongin, which has won seven consecutive games.
