Rebellion of KB, the opening game! Hana Bank 64-56 rout. Heo Ye-eun + Kang Yi-seul, KB's Core, Hana Bank's powerful double post was crushed
Oct 27, 2024

It sent ace and franchise star Jihyun Shin to Shinhan Bank. It was to bring Jin An, the star of Busan BNK, who was released as an FA.
The two players could have coexisted, but the salary cap did not match. In the end, Hana Bank chose the progress, and Jihyun Shin moved to Shinhan Bank through BNK as an FA compensation player.
Hana Bank, which advanced to the semifinal playoff last season, felt limited in seeking to advance to the championship with its Jihyun Shin and Yang In-young and Kim Jong-un cores. In the end, I completely changed the team color while choosing the truth.
Women's professional basketball opening game. A bad news broke out.
Team mental support and ace Kim Jong-un missed the opening game due to a calf injury. The opponent is Cheongju KB. Last season, he established a two-way system with Asan Woori Bank, but absolute ace Park Ji-soo moved to overseas expansion (Galatasaray, Turkey).
The power itself has weakened.
The official opening game of women's professional basketball with many variables was held. The main character was KB.
KB beat Hana Bank 64-56 in women's professional basketball from 2024 to 2025 at Bucheon Gymnasium on the 27th.
Hana Bank's objective power before the game is still superior, and how was KB able to defeat Hana Bank. Let's take a look now.

Hana Bank's weakness is its ball handler. Ball handler, similar to the point guard position in the past, is a guard who leads the transition as well as assembling games and deploying fastballs in modern basketball.
The problem is that Yurina Watabe, who was hired as a ball handler, was terminated due to injury. After all, Hana Bank has not only Kim Jong-un to assemble the game, but also main ball handler glass or blank.
Newcomer Park So-hee is playing the role, but it is true that she is anxious.
KB gained early momentum. Heo Ye-eun and center Kim So-dam's 2-2 attack was excellent.
Kim So-dam scored back-to-back points with the first three pocket passes. Kang Yi-seul's three-run shot also exploded. If KB's attack was three-dimensional, Hana Bank's offense was simple. 11-7, KB gained momentum.
Hana Bank, as expected, fought back with Jinan and Yang In-young's double post. He blocked Jin's under-the-goal shot by Steel and Kang Yi-seul's breakthrough. Jin An also made a light shot under the basket. Yang In-young blocks Na Yoon-jung's shot.
In the end, it was a 13-13 tie.
However, Hana Bank's weaknesses began to emerge. Park So-hee's pass was unstable, and so was Hana Bank's mistake. It led to Kim Min-jung's under-the-goal breakthrough. Yang In-young and Jinan also failed.
In the end, KB scored four points in a row. In the end, 17-16, KB ended up with a one-point lead in the first quarter.
KB Huh Ye-eun's 3-pointer in the second quarter began. When Park So-hee's ball handling became unstable, Hana Bank responded with a double handler by putting Yuzuki Shida in another Asian quarter.
Hana Bank's ball flow was not smooth. The real plan is the key. In the KB Asian quarter, Nagata Moe completely blocked the ball from being put in by over-garding. In the end, Jin An caught the ball from the outside and broke through the basket. However, in the next attack, post-up. KB led Jin's trebling with a double team. I could see KB's solid preparation in the offseason.
Kang Yi-seul and Moe's exquisite 2 to 2 came out. After receiving Heo Ye-eun's screen, the mid-jumper. On the other hand, Hana Bank's post-up attempts were not easy, and mistakes were made while attempting to attack. 24-18, 6-point lead.
Heo Ye-eun's breakthrough succeeded. On the other hand, Hana Bank's attacks began to become simpler and simpler. Jin and Yang In-young's post-up attacks did not come under KB's external pressure at all. Pass from the outside, and pass. An inaccurate three-store came out.
Na Yoon-jung's corner three points broke out. The whole body high-fives came out. 29-18, 11-point KB lead. a completely unexpected outcome.
At this time, KB failed to shoot with an exquisite pass. Jin An broke the flow with two points of his own fastball and free throw. KB's mistake. And Park So-hee made a breakthrough under the basket by personal ability and additional free throws. On 29-23, Hana Bank put out the urgent fire and seemed to turn the tide. Jin An's offensive rebound, Kang Yi-seul's foul, and two free throws by team fouls. It began to follow me little by little. KB's Operation Time.
KB has definitely set its course for this season. Quick transition, and fearless outside 3-pointers. At operation time, coach Kim should throw from outside. Why does it keep going in. What are our strengths?" he said, calling for a bold play.
In the end, KB's six-point lead ended at 33-27 in the first half.

Hana Bank has opened the door. A two-man game between Park So-hee and Yang In-young, a mid-jumper by pop-out, Yang In-young's signature play.
Then, KB responded with Heo Ye-eun's three-point shot. Hana Bank missed Park So-hee's pass.
Kang Yi-seul succeeded in post-up against Yang In-young. This is where Kang Yi-seul changed this season. In the offseason, Kang Yi-seul showed a willingness to freely utilize the internal and external options, away from the appearance of an authentic shooter. It was a simple scene.
Putback after Jin An grabbed the offensive rebound. However, it didn't happen. Moe Nagata enters the center. No one checked. Moe is a mid-jumper.
It was KB's flow. KB's Kang Yi-seul and Na Yoon-jung shot three consecutive 3-pointers, but failed. There is a reason why KB is trying to make an active three-point attempt.
Three-point shooter such as Kang Yi-seul and Na Yoon-jung, and Heo Ye-eun, Kim So-dam and Kim Min-jung can all shoot three-point shots. Three-point accuracy is superior to other teams. In addition, if it fails, most of the outside rebounds will fall. For KB, which has a low height under the basket, the probability of catching offensive rebounds increases. In the end, after catching consecutive offensive rebounds, Heo Ye-eun scored a three-point goal. 43-33, 10-point KB lead.
On the other hand, Hana Bank focuses on two-point shots through static passes. There were many cases of KB's surprise double team and external pressure. The flow was naturally led by KB. Kang Yi-seul's three-run shot also exploded. The three-point shooting accuracy was inevitably increased because the shooters had good flow and were not burdened with shooting.
Hana Bank's operational time. However, KB's momentum continued. Yang In-young's mid-jumper failed. Heo Ye-eun lightly drilled under the basket with an exquisite handoff drive-in.
When Hana Bank targeted the bottom of the net with Yang In-young and Jin An's side high-row game, KB pushed Heo Ye-eun and Kang Yi-seul hit an early offens three points. 3 points in front of Moe. 56-42 in the third quarter, ending with a 14-point KB lead.
In the fourth quarter, as soon as it started, Heo Ye-eun matches up with Yang In-young. I made the most of the mismatch. Left hand layup by the strength of the hedge dribble. It showed high-quality one-on-one technology.
Hana Bank also had a chance to counterattack. KB's error, Jinan's fastball score, and KB's fielding were missed in a row. However, Hana Bank lacked the core to assemble and lead the game. Park So-hee is the attacker's foul. A series of outposts missed the rim.
Time has gone by. 62-48, 14 points with 4:17 left in the game. It was in place. Hana Bank's attack was too inefficient.
Hana Bank resisted to the end. Yang In-young's three-point game went off. Nine points, but there was not enough time. There are only two minutes and five seconds left. KB won in the end.
Heo Ye-eun scored 19 points, 6 assists, and Kang Yi-seul led the offense and defense with 17 points. Hana Bank struggled with 23 points for Jin An, 19 rebounds, and 20 points for Yang In-young. KB's attacks coexisted with diversity and autonomy, and Hana Bank only had the simplicity of predictable post-up attacks. The difference in the system made a difference between victory and defeat.
Two years ago, KB suddenly left Park Ji-soo due to panic disorder. KB was in a huddle. I had no choice but to. There was not much time to prepare itself, and the team was confused.
It's different this season. I prepared it solidly. The core is He Ye-eun Kang Yi-seul and Nagata Moeda. Heo Ye-eun became more mature, and Kang Yi-seul was reborn as an all-weather ace. Moe is at the heart of a team with a very high degree of invisible contribution.
In addition, the coaching staff delivered a clear team color. It's a fast transition, and a fearless three-store. It is the most suitable style for KB's main player composition. I've already practiced several times in the offseason, and I've done several tests in practice matches. It's a sweet result.
KB's offense was three-dimensional, and the defense was very solid. Hana Bank's defense completely collapsed due to three-dimensional attacks.
For Hana Bank, the absence of a ball handler, which was pointed out as a weakness, had a big impact. Jin An and Yang In-young's double post were not properly utilized, and there is a ridiculous pass in an important flow and anxiety accordingly.
Jin and Yang In-young struggled, and Park So-hee also flashed, but the team's teamwork was not good. The firmness is less than expected. This season is the Spring and Autumn Warring States era. There is no easy team. It's the first game, but Hana Bank's current power is unstable.
