Samsung Life Insurance won 51-48 in the fourth round of the playoff (PO) against BNK held at Yongin Indoor Gymnasium on the 9th, balancing the series with 2 wins and 2 losses to determine the team that advanced to the championship game in Game 5. Following the Woori Bank-KB Stars match held the previous day, both POs played by four teams will go to Game 5 for the first time in history. Amid the downward leveling of the overall power this season, this trend continued in PO following the regular league, where the all-time ranking fight took place.
Before the game, Park Jung said BNK coach "I'll finish at Yongin", but in the end 'Train to Busan' was confirmed. For BNK, it lost only three games in Yongin in the regular league this season, but failed to break the jinx with two consecutive losses in PO.
Both the players of the two teams, who had blood clots every two days until Game 3, were not in normal physical strength and condition. This is why he only scored low again overall. Samsung Life had a field goal success rate of 34% and BNK had only 22%, respectively.
Still, Samsung Life Insurance players, who tied BNK to one point in the fourth quarter in the third game, were a little more ahead. Samsung Life started with Jo Su-ah's three-point shot about two minutes after the start of the game, but after that, when the attack was rarely resolved, Bae Hye-yoon and Kiana Smith, the core of offense and defense, were put in at the same time and began to find a way out little by little. BNK continued its lackluster field goal in the fourth quarter of Game 3 two days ago in the first quarter. He threw a total of 10 field goals, but he failed to make a single goal and held on with six free throws.
In the second quarter, Samsung Life Insurance continued to maintain its lead at 17-8 by adding Cho Soo-ah's turning shot to Bae Hye-yoon and Kiana's under-the-goal shots. Shortly after the start of the second quarter, BNK broke the slump of failing to score a field goal for two consecutive quarters, including the previous game, with Kim Sonia's under-the-basket shot, but fell into an offensive slump again when Kim Sonia, who was fighting for a rebound with Samsung Life Insurance's Lee Hae-ran, took to the bench for the fourth foul. Samsung Life Insurance also ended with Samsung Life Insurance's lead of 27-22 in the first half as Jo Su-ah only penetrated the path of attack and continued to score low points.
BNK, which restarted the best 5 after the start of the second half, scored a scoreless shot in the first half by Saki Ijima, followed by Lee So-hee's three-point shot, resulting in the first tie of 29-29.
After the start of the fourth quarter, five players, including Jo Su-ah, Bae Hye-yoon, Lee Hae-ran, Mitsuki, and Kang Yoo-rim, scored 10 points in a row and ran 48-35 for about four minutes. BNK was trailing 39-50 and scored nine points in a row for about three minutes, but it was blocked by the defense in the last attack with seven seconds left and had to accept the defeat.
While Bae Hye-yoon set the center of the offense and defense with a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds, Jo Su-ah backed up with 11 points. The fifth playoff game between the two teams will be held at Busan Sajik Gymnasium, BNK's home, on the 11th. Coach Ha Sang-yoon also vowed to win Game 5 with physical strength and defense, and coach Park Jung-eun vowed to play well in Busan, where he won two consecutive games.
