Woori Bank continues its hopes of advancing to the semifinals of the Park Shin-ja Cup by beating Samsung Life Insurance with Nanami, who exploded 35 points





Woori Bank beat Samsung Life Insurance to continue its hopes of advancing to the semifinals of the Park Shin-ja Cup.

Woori Bank recorded its second win (one loss) by defeating Samsung Life Insurance 81 to 69 in the Group A preliminary round of the '2025 BNK Financial Park Shin-ja Cup' held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 3rd. While Spain's Zaragoza defeated Japan's Fujitsu in the previous game to secure the top spot in Group A, Woori Bank will play the final qualifying match against Fujitsu on the 5th for the remaining second place to advance to the semifinals.




It will never be an easy showdown, but if you win, you will compete with Japan's Denso, who is expected to be No. 1 in Group B, for the final.

While Woori Bank's ace Kim Dan-bi only played for about five minutes and saved his physical strength, the most impressive part was the strong performance of Asian quarter player Nanami Seki, who led the attack by scoring 35 points alone, including four three-pointers. Nanami, who did not show much impressive play in the previous two games, played as a leading guard on the day, but actively participated in the attack and met the team's expectations with a thrilling shot sense. Nanami, who was selected as Woori Bank coach Wi Sung-woo's first-round pick in the Asian quarter player draft in Tokyo, Japan, in June, is expected to ease Kim Dan-bi's offensive burden in the upcoming season, including the match against Fujitsu, if he continues to play well.

In addition to Nanami, Lee Min-ji, a second-year player, also exploded 23 points, showing her as a scary rookie. Woori Bank is a representative defense team, but if Kim Dan-bi, Nanami, and Lee Min-ji, the existing scorer Lee Myung-kwan, are added, they will have various attack options and the balance of offense and defense will be further strengthened.




On the other hand, Samsung Life Insurance recorded one win and three losses due to the loss on the day, and finished the group qualifying round as it was confirmed to be eliminated from the semifinals.
