Woori Bank completely defeated Singapore 79-46 in the first Group B qualifying round of the 2025 WKBL Futures League held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on the 3rd.
All Woori Bank players, including Kim Ye-jin (17 points), Kang Gye-ri (12 points) and Oh In-jeong (11 points), played evenly.
Woori Bank made up the entry with seven players. Lee Min-ji was transferred to the national team, and Jung Chae-won has not yet been able to play in the real game due to the injury. Byun Ha-jung, who played well last season, cannot participate in this tournament due to her back injury.
For Woori Bank, Kang Gye-ri, who joined this season, Kim Ye-jin, Kim Sol, Park Hye-mi, and Oh Seung-in were the best five. Shim Sung-young and Pyeon Sun-woo are waiting on the bench.
Singapore is a barren place in women's basketball. The power itself is weak.
Woori pushed him from the beginning. Starting with forward Park Hye-mi's three-point shot, Woori played firmly under the direction of Kang Gye-ri.
In the middle of the first quarter, Oh Seung-in grabbed an offensive rebound and even gained a basket count, completing a three-point play. Kim Ye-jin, who boasts strong defense, also showed good performance by scoring three points in a row.
In the second quarter, Woori Bank's fielding rate fell slightly, but the 10-point lead was steadily maintained. At the end of the second quarter, Oh's mid jumper passed through the rim and added two free throws to open the score.
In the end, it ended the first half if it caught a comfortable lead by 39-24 and 15 points. Kim Ye-jin led the attack with 12 points, and Kang Gye-ri Oh Seung-in scored 7 points each.
In the second half, veterans stood out.
Shim Sung-young's three-run shot in the third quarter broke out. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Park Hye-min's offensive rebound scored a putback and Shim Sung-young's sharp under-the-goal breakthrough passed through the rim one after another. In the end, a 68-40, 28-point lead with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter. In fact, it was a moment when the victory or defeat was decided.
Woori Bank, which advanced to the final last season, is a strong dark horse this season. Absolute ace Kim Dan-bi, two Asian quarters, and Han Um-ji, Lee Myung-kwan and Lee Min-ji are holding out.
He is expected to use a small ball with strong pressure while rotating the rotation strongly. Kim Ye-jin, Shim Sung-young, Kang Gye-ri, and Kim Sol Oh In-jeong can play a role in the rotation. On this day, Woori Bank took various attack routes with fast transitions and promised plays. His unique teamwork and defensive pressure remained. It was the driving force behind the Singapore match.
This competition will be divided into groups A and B.
The Futures League, which was a feast for promising players from six teams in Korea, has expanded to an international competition. WKBL is actively creating a venue for international exchanges by expanding its scale to the Futures League following the Park Shin-ja Cup.
