"I'm happy to win my debut, but I'm not sure yet."
Hana Bank caused a stir from the opening game. Hana Bank, which was at the bottom of the last season, beat Woori Bank by a large margin of 66 to 45 in the home opener of the 「BNK Financial 2025-2026 Women's Professional Basketball」 held at Bucheon Indoor Gymnasium on the 17th. It was the result of overwhelming Woori Bank, the No. 1 regular league player last season, in both offense and defense. He also led 49-32 in the rebound fight.
Park So-hee scored 14 points, Iijima Saki 11 points and Jinan 10 points, but eight of the nine players on the court participated in scoring, winning an unexpected victory over Woori Bank, which only Kim Dan-bi and Lee Min-ji survived.
In men's basketball, he is a veteran head coach who led the team to the championship, but in women's basketball, Hana Bank coach Lee Sang-beom, who made his debut, said, `I'm happy and honored to win the opening game and the first game of women's farming. But as we said before the game, we don't know our skills yet." In the meantime, "Woori Bank players seem to have been in poor condition overall. I think we'll only know if this kind of game continues."
At the same time, he gave credit to the players for the victory. Manager Lee said, `More than anything, I think I was able to win because all the players made active and basic plays that added to the rebound in a loose ball situation. Thank you to the players." We are young players, so we have no choice but to play basketball one step further than our opponents. With standing basketball, our team is hard to beat," he stressed.
Park So-hee played a great role with 14 points and 8 rebounds in the game, but Lee's judgment was cold. There is still a lot to be desired. It can be said that the expectations are high.
Director Lee said, `Park So-hee and Park Jin-young, who were active on the day, both try to show too much, and there are many unnecessary movements. So I have to play minus basketball, not plus. There is still a long way to go, but "You have to keep doing it as much as you did today."
As for veteran Kim Jong Un, who is retiring at the end of this season, he expects to run for 15-20 minutes. Today's game also scored only two points, but he led young players well on the court with such defensive cover. Players also have a sense of stability. "The best player who will protect the outcome…" he said, looking forward to a great 'last dance' with Kim Jong Un this season.
