'How good are they? '
Hana Bank is by far the most interesting team to date in women's professional basketball, which opened late on the 16th and played two to three games per team.
He is in second place as of the 25th, taking off the image of the lower team in his later years and winning a surprise two games from the beginning of the season, because he is showing a jagged performance. In the winning games like the match against Woori Bank on the 17th and the match against Samsung Life Insurance on the 24th, they constantly beat the opponent by more than double digits, but in the match against Shinhan Bank on the 21st, the previous year, which collapsed rapidly in the second half, was repeated. Of course, each team has a relative nature, but considering that Shinhan Bank's power is slightly lower than that of Woori Bank and Samsung Life Insurance, it is a so-called `strong and weak.'
I can't help but wonder what the real skills will be like. Even coach Lee Sang-beom laughed about the performance of `All or All' and `I still don't know how to set the standard for the game.'
However, if we review the winning game, we can see Hana Bank's clear competitiveness this season. It is ranked second after KB Stars (average 73 points) with an average of 68 points per game, and is also ranked second with a two-point shooting success rate of 43.9%, but it is still too early to use it as an evaluation factor considering that it is early in the season where it has played three games.
On top of that, unlike Saki Ijima, who was selected as the No. 1 player in the Asian quarter, who focused on defense at BNK Thumb last season, Hana Bank focused on offense this season due to the lack of offensive resources, and the Samsung Life Insurance match on the 24th included the number of 34 points, the most in his Japanese and Korean career.
Again, the biggest difference can be said to be in defense and rebounding. Hana Bank had a clear advantage in rebounds in both of the winning games. In particular, in the first game of the opening, Woori Bank scored 49 rebounds, overwhelming Woori Bank's 32. On the contrary, in the match against Shinhan Bank, the inferiority in the rebound competition at 33-48 led to the defeat.
Of course, catching a lot of rebounds does not necessarily mean winning, and having a lot of offensive rebounds means that the shooting success rate has fallen. Although he was a veteran in men's basketball, the point that coach Lee Sang-beom, a freshman in women's basketball, asks the players to have that much activity and responsibility, not just participation in the rebound. On top of that, young players who have gained confidence through physical training that has nearly doubled or tripled since manager Lee's inauguration, especially from the third quarter, continue to defend all-out pressure and break the opponent's salary from the front, leading to victory. Head coach of Samsung Life Insurance Ha Sang-yoon also said, `Our players continue to be pushed by the strong pressure and power of our opponents The game is over."
On top of that, the harmony between the old and new, which was naturally formed as veteran Kim Jong-un and middle-aged Chung Ye-rim, who play their final season, took the center stage in defense and Saki and Jinan took the center stage in attack, respectively, and dragged their juniors out, is also a clear synergy effect. Chung Hyeon, Park So-hee, Park Jin-young, Go Seo-yeon, and other young players in their 20s who are not completely refined yet, but if they gain experience and grow by repeating these games, the prospects not only for this season but also for next season are bright. Coach Lee also said, `At our level, if we pour in each game rather than setting the goal of advancing to the playoffs yet, it could be a good performance when we look back at the end of the season. "The process is very important now." "I'll play the first round the way it is and prepare a response plan after the second round."," he stressed.
In any case, it is expected that Hana Bank's current performance and competitiveness will be identified through games against two teams with the best pace, including KB Stars on the 29th and BNK Sum on December 1.
