I miss Park Ji-soo. KB lost to DVTK by 5 points



Cheongju KB, the women's professional basketball team, took the loss of the opening game by reducing the gap of Park Ji-soo.

KB lost 73 to 78 in the first round of Group B against DVTK Hummerm (Hungary) in Busan on the 30th.

The average height of DVTK, which has three players taller than 1m90 including Bela Smuda (1m98), the tallest player in this competition, was like a legion of poles. On the other hand, KB, whose top center Park Ji-soo (1m93) was absent due to condition management, was like 'Dawi' in front of 'Goliath' as Ko Hyun-ji (1m82) was the tallest.




The inferiority in height continued for a while. KB struggled with its opponent's pole basketball from the beginning of the game. By the third quarter, there was a double gap of 13 to 26 in the rebound competition. In addition, DVTK's tall players were equipped with outer guns to give KB players 'double height'.

Still, KB effectively held out by responding to the overwhelming height inferiority with an outside shot. This is why he succeeded in holding out the third quarter 53-57. In particular, Heo Ye-eun took the lead with 14 points, including four three-point shots.

There was also a surprise turnaround at the beginning of the fourth quarter. KB succeeded in turning the tables with fierce concentration. KB, who faced off with speed and bee defense, tried to gradually widen the gap, but the limit of height was scarier.




DVTK created a comeback shortly afterwards, no longer allowing KB to chase.

He chased 73-76 with Kang Yi-seul's free throw 33.9 seconds before the end of the game, but he had to swallow his disappointment by giving up a team foul free throw to prevent the opponent's height.
