"Thanks to the 10,000-won home fans, we were able to win."
KB Stars beat Woori Bank to regain the joint top spot. Above all, it leads the face-to-face with two wins and one loss, and it can be said to be the sole leader.
KB Stars defeated Woori Bank 73-61 in the match of Woori Bank's "Woori WON 2023-2024 Women's Professional Basketball" held at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 25th. The crowd was packed for Christmas, and it was the best gift ever. Park Ji-soo missed the game due to physical and psychological burdens in the first quarter, but he showed great determination and led the team to victory with 29 points and 17 rebounds. However, he asked for his understanding after the game and did not take high-fives, group photos, or interviews with the crowd, raising concerns.
KB Stars coach Kim Wan-soo said, "It was a home game and we were able to achieve the victory thanks to the packed crowd. I was really surprised and respected that the players showed great concentration," attributing the victory to the players and spectators. 토토사이트
Coach Kim said, "The (Park) index played across the day and naturally had to be physically burdened. I always tell him to let go of his burden because he hasn't completely healed psychologically yet, but he must have had a hard time mentally because he is a player who has too much responsibility to do well in all games," expressing concern and saying, "I will pay more attention to my condition so that I can control my condition well."
"I think I was a bit excited in the first half, but I think I finished it well. I think I have improved a bit by winning after playing this kind of game," said guard Huh Ye-eun, who showed strong performance with 14 points and nine assists and six rebounds.
Just like the previous showdown, KB Stars' effective defense was the factor for its victory on the day. "There were some parts where the opponent shooter Kim Dan-bi was not in good condition, but Yeom Yoon-ah, the matchup, blocked him well," head coach Kim said. "I think defense is a probability battle. Since the probability of a three-point shot is lower than that of a two-point under the basket, I focused on attracting the opponent to an outside attack, but I think it worked effectively by catching the second rebound well."
