It was Ahn Hye-ji (BNK), who erased the weakness of her outer shot. He scored the most points (27 points) in a game. BNK won its first victory of the season.

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.

Along with Ahn?ji, Sonia scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, and Park Hye-jin scored 10 points. On the other hand, Samsung Life Insurance remained dependent on Bae Hye-yoon (22 points). Lee Hae-ran struggled with Lee Ju-yeon (12 points each).



In the end, BNK turned the tables in the second quarter and solidified its victory. Ahn Hye-ji's outfield shot explosion has a lot of meaning. It neutralized Samsung Life Insurance's defensive intentions. The small lineup was solid. On the other hand, Samsung Life's offensive route was monotonous, and Kiana Smith's performance was poor.

▶1st quarter



BNK's best five were as expected.

These were Ahn Hye-ji Lee So-hee, Lee Ijima Saki, Park Hye-jin, and Kim Sonia. It was a blatant small lineup.



That's inevitable. BNK recruited Park Hye-jin and Kim Sonia this season. Psaki in the Asian quarter is also a solid player with excellent defense. However, the big man is not right. Park Sung-jin has grown a lot, but the existing guards are at the top of the league.

I can't help but use them.

Samsung Life Insurance is Lee Ju-yeon and Hirano Mitsuki's two guards. Kang Yu-rim Lee Hae-ran's Po?d and big man Bae Hye-yoon. Lee Hae-ran and Bae Hye-yoon are teams that can target mismatches at any time.

In other words, if BNK's transition is not strong, it is a matchup commercial that risks being hit by Samsung Life's set offensives.

Lee Hae-ran's mismatched shot under the basket. Bae Hye-yoon scored consecutive points. Lee Ju-yeon's breakthrough. On the other hand, BNK's outer guns of Sonia and Saki were missed. In the end, 10-0, Samsung Life Insurance's one-sided lead.

A pattern with a high probability of using Samsung Life Insurance's height is overwhelming the BNK small lineup. Finally, BNK's strategy time.

With Kim Sonia's breakthrough, BNK scored for the first time this season. BNK put Park Sung-jin in. Normal formation, not small lineup. Kiana Smith came in for Samsung Life Insurance. Samsung Life Insurance's main catcher Smith is not in normal condition yet. There is a time limit for playing.

With Park Hye-jin's pass, Ahn Hye-ji's Long 2 hit. Park Hye-jin even hit a mid jumper against Smith's defense. And An Hye-ji's three-point shot. An Hye-ji's confident mid-range shot early on was impressive. Ahn Hye-ji has the league's best game setting ability, but she revealed a serious weakness in her outer shot last season. 10-9, chasing BNK by one point. Yoon Ye-bin has been put in.

BNK's 2-3 regional defense. However, Samsung Life Insurance put it to Bae Hye-yoon, the center, and then passed the return pass. Lee Ju-yeon hit the 3-point mark. In the end, it ended with a 15-15 tie in the first quarter. BNK's trend is on the rise.

▶2nd quarter

For Samsung Life, Bae Hye-yoon is going to the bench. I chose a small lineup. Samsung Life Insurance's weakness in the first quarter was rebounding. It's not inferior in height, but it wasn't enough in the fight for seats. BNK saved the offensive flow by winning a series of offensive rebounds.

In the second quarter, BNK turned the tables with Ahn Hye-ji's three-point shot. On the other hand, Samsung Life Insurance failed a series of one-on-one attacks by Smith. Eventually, he replaced Bae Hye-yoon with 7:42 left.

22-17, BNK's 5-point lead. When the attack did not go well, veteran Bae Hye-yoon solved it. After making a pass fake, he broke through the basket and scored two free throws earned by fouling.

BNK's lead by 3 to 5 points. The defense of Samsung Life Insurance did not match. BNK easily created an open chance with two or three passes. 28-21, BNK's lead by 7 points, Samsung Life Insurance's operational time.

BNK's rise. Lee Sohee's mid-jumper. After neutralizing Samsung Life's offense with a strong defense, Psaki's fastball score, 32-21, widened the lead to 11 points.

Kim Ah-reum tried to block the flow by hitting a three-point game, but Park Hye-jin scored the main feature Deep 3.

In the first half, BNK's defense was dense. Small lineups were mainly used, and Samsung Life induced under-the-goal mismatches. However, a double team with strong activity, neutralized with a strong physical fight.

Ahn Hye-ji's outside shot was impressive in the attack. In addition, there was a major reorganization of the best five, but the density of organizational power was solid.

On the other hand, Samsung Life Insurance was pushed out of the overall pressure. I used the mismatch, but the attack was simple. The density of organizational power was different with and without Bae Hye-yoon. The defense didn't work well.

Bae Hye-yoon's hard work at the end of the second quarter. 37-30, BNK's lead ended the second quarter.

▶3rd quarter

BNK's first score in the third quarter with Kim Sonia's exquisite step back mid jumper. On the other hand, Samsung Life Insurance made an error because veteran Kim Ah-reum's pass did not match Bae Hye-yoon.

Instead of Kang Yu-rim, Smith was added. However, Samsung Life Insurance's pass continued to be hampered by BNK's brisk movements. It was a continuous deflection, which meant that BNK's activity exceeded Samsung Life Insurance's movement.

In the end, Bae Hye-yoon broke through the path of Samsung Life again this time. Successful 3-point play with bonus free throws due to under-the-goal shots and fouls.

Samsung Life Insurance also defended Ahn Hye-ji in the first half. However, Ahn Hye-ji hit three points.

Smith's ludicrous error. Lee So-hee's quick attack, 48-35, BNK's lead by 13 points.

Lee Ju-yeon cheered up. a breakthrough under the basket. Afterwards, she stole Ahn Hye-ji's ball with a full-court press and scored again. It seemed to be the trigger for the rise of Samsung Life Insurance. However, BNK cut this flow with Park Hye-jin's light mid-jumper.

Again, an 11-point gap. BNK uses a small lineup, and as soon as the ball goes into the post, it's a double team. At this time, Lee Hae-ran's swing pass missed. However, in the next attack, Lee Ju-yeon neutralized BNK's double team with a three-point shot. BNK's Operation Time, 8 points difference.

However, Ahn Hye-ji hit another three-point game. It was a score that poured cold water on Samsung Life Insurance's rise. In the end, the third quarter ended with a BNK lead of 58-49, nine points.

▶4th quarter

Jo Su-ah's pass with Bae Hye-yoon was exquisite, and Bae Hye-yoon earned a foul free throw. One free throw.

Samsung Life's Early Offens. Lee Hae-ran's light shot under the basket. a six-point chase.

Samsung Life maintained a sagging defense against Ahn Hye-ji. A 3-pointer failed, but free throw scored as Sonia grabbed the offensive rebound.

Then, Ahn Hye-ji hit another three-run shot at the opening chance. Samsung Life Insurance's Sagging Defense strategy is a complete failure.

However, Samsung Life was persistent. Lee Hae-ran's shot under the basket by a steal. 56-62, six points behind. Then, Samsung Life again deployed Smith. However, the condition was very bad, and the court margin was extremely negative.

Kim Sonia scored a putback after catching the offensive rebound.

Time went by with the BNK lead of 6 to 9 points. Samsung Life's path was rarely broken. The transition did not take place, and the three-point shot failed, and BNK eventually decided the victory as Lee So-hee's fastball with 1:45 left to take a 69-60 and nine-point lead.

BNK was solid. Used a small lineup, but took the rebound advantage. Ahn Hye-ji neutralized Samsung Life's tagging strategy with an improved outer shot from last season.

Samsung Life Insurance was an active double team that prevented Kim Sonia, Park Hye-jin, and Lee So-hee from breaking through the basket and finally gave Ahn Hye-ji a shot. However, Ahn Hye-ji broke down Samsung Life's defense system by exploding a series of outer guns.

Kim Sonia, Psaki, and Lee So-hee also showed sharp windows and diversified attacks. In the end, various offensive routes put tremendous pressure on the opponent's defense.
