"Leave An Hye-ji alone? No!"BNK Ahn Hye-ji's shooting trauma, how did she overcome it

There are three reasons for this.
Ahn Hye-ji scored the most points (27 points) in a game. The most impressive part was the confident outer shooting.
Ahn Hye-ji threw 12 3-pointers. I made five. It was a high-sensitivity three-point shooting success rate of 41.7 percent.
With Ahn Hye-ji's strong performance, Busan BNK beat powerhouse Yongin Samsung Life Insurance 69-64 in the 2024-2025 Hana Bank Women's Professional Basketball Regular League home game held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan on the 30th.
Samsung Life Insurance came up with a customized defense tactic for Ahn Hye-ji. The player blocking Ahn Hye-ji went to an active double team. I made the inside solid.
In the end, it was a tactic to maximize defense efficiency by forcing Ahn Hye-ji's outer shot.
After the game, Samsung Life Insurance coach Ha Sang-yoon said "BNK has many players with accurate three-point shots, including Sonia, Park Hye-jin, and Lee So-hee." "I decided that giving Ahn Hye-ji a shot was still the most likely, so I continued to maintain the sagging defense (a tactic of defending by falling defenders)."
It can be. Ahn Hye-ji's three-point shooting success rate last season was only 26.9%. 17.9% in the 2022-2023 season. Only 25.8% of the three-point shooting success rate in his career.
However, Ahn perfectly overcame Samsung Life's blatant 'Leave Ahn Hye-ji alone' tactic.
After the game, Ahn Hye-ji focused on shooting during the offseason as to why the 3-point shooting success rate increased. There is also a simple change in shooting form. In addition, as Kim Sonia Park Hye-jin's transfer reduced the burden of ball handling, so did the psychological burden of shooting."
An Hye-ji was followed by a blatant sagging defense until last season. However, Ahn Hye-ji is a player who has a lot of ball possession. However, considering the team balance, there was a pass first mind. This is why he hesitated even if an open three-point shot came out.
However, sharing ball handling with Park Hye-jin, Kim Sonia, and Saki Iijima eliminated a lot of this burden. BNK Park Jung also played a role in the coach's principles.
Coach Park continued to say that he would replace Ahn Hye-ji if he hesitated when shooting.
