Last season, Shinhan Bank's strengths and weaknesses were clear. I played forward basketball centered on Sonia.
He was heavily dependent on the starting lineup. The front court, including Gooseul Jinyoung Kim and Kim Tae-yeon, was solid, and the outside centered on Kim Ji-young and Kang Gye-ri was not bad. However, the limitations of power were clear.
The small lineup wasn't bad in pressure and transition, but it was less powerful. In the end, it was a team power that could feel limited in a situation where the dependence on the main players, centered on Kim Sonia, was severe.
Shinhan Bank underwent a major overhaul. This summer, Sonia moved to BNK.
Shinhan Bank recruited Choi Yi-sam and even tried to recruit Park Hye-jin. However, Park Hye-jin's recruitment hit a snag. He was defeated by BNK in the FA competition.
Since then, Shinhan has quickly strengthened its team's power. Shin Yi-seul, who was released as a free agent from Samsung Life Insurance, was brought in, and Jihyun Shin, who was released as a compensation player from Hana Bank, also recruited Byun So-jung in exchange for giving up BNK.
It is also true that there were voices of concern. Jihyun Shin was Hana Bank's ace, but it lacked power by 2%. Shin Yi-seul was Samsung Life's main guard, but not a team core. Along with Kim Ji-young and Kang Gye-ri, Lee Kyung was evaluated as 'Guard oversaturation'.
The team reorganized perfectly, but there were voices of concern about positional redundancy, lack of core strength. A strong rotation is essential to solve this problem.
Shinhan Bank in the offseason is impressive. The amount and quality of the squad have been enriched by bringing Hong Yoo-soon, who can play the role of the No. 1 big man and wingman in the rookie draft at the same time.
Jihyun Shin showed better defense than before in the pre-World Cup qualifying round in Mexico City. His pressure ability improved, and his shooting ability remained.
Shin Isul has also become more solid. In a practice match against Taiwan's strongest Keisei Life held at Shinhan Bank Blue Campus in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province on the 28th, he showed a stronger defensive pressure ability. In addition, the game coordination and pulse-taking play, which began to open their eyes last season, were good.
Choi Yi-sam has become more powerful than when he was at Woori Bank. It was definitely a team centered. He alternately worked with Koo Seul Hong Yoo-soon and Kim Tae-yeon to balance Shinhan Bank's offense and defense. The way the core is strengthened.
Shinhan Bank had a lot of impressions on this day. For now, he maintained defensive pressure throughout the 40 minutes. By turning the rotation strongly, the physical burden was minimized. Choi Yi-sam and Shin Yi-seul formed a team core centered on Lee Kyung-eun, and maintained strong game speed. In addition, he freely operated small and big lineups while using Kim Tae-yeon.
Hong Yoo-soon, who chose as the No. 1 rookie, was also impressive. Hong Yoo-soon of 1m79 is in the center position on her official profile. However, his ability to join the fastball is at the top of the league. Finishing at a high speed or hanging the screen in the right place, he helped his teammate's quick attack. The fast speed was reminiscent of Lee Hae-ran, the next-generation ace of Samsung Life Insurance. The defense was very solid. The attack route had a monotonous weakness, but it can be reinforced over time.
Shinhan Bank took the lead early in the first half by more than 20 points, perfectly winning. The final score is 82 to 71.
Shinhan Bank scored all 10 players, including Choi Yi-sam (14 points, 6 rebounds) and Lee Kyung-eun (11 points).
To be sure, Shinhan showed a completely different team color from last season. We have secured various options for airlift. What is even scarier is that Jihyun Shin and Jinyoung Kim, who were assigned to the national team, and Tanimura Rika, the No. 1 big man in the Asian quarter, did not join. "Rika Tanimura will work together in earnest for the off-season training in Japan, which will begin on Sept. 23. First of all, I plan to operate all the members except Rika in the Park Shin-ja Cup."
