Asan Woori Bank, which was evaluated to have weakened its power significantly due to a large number of key players' transfers, won the first game of the season against Shinhan Bank in Incheon by 12 points. It is thanks to Kim Dan-bi who led the victory with 34 points and eight rebounds.
Woori Bank came from behind to win 76 to 64 in the away opening game of the 「Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball」 held at Dowon Gymnasium in Incheon on the 28th with its concentration in the second half. In particular, Kim Dan-bi led the game by sweeping 15 points, including two three-point shots, in the third quarter alone, which was the winning point. On top of that, Lee Myung-kwan and Han Um-ji also helped by scoring 14 points side by side.
In addition, two Asian quarter players, Natsuki Sunagawa and Momona Miyasaka, who made their debut on the day, also showed fast steps, wide vision, and stable dribbling ability to revitalize the front line.
After the victory, Woori Bank coach Wi Sung-woo said, `It was my first game in the away game, and all the players were good. Even though there were few players to change, the players who came out held out well"I didn't expect it to be this kind of game. Shinhan Bank also had some parts where their hands and feet didn't match as the players changed a lot, and so did we. So the early flow came and went, but when Kim Dan-bi had to do it, he eventually did it."
As for the two Japanese players, "I did what I thought. I expected the game to be run and rebound from the front by giving the two about 10 points combined, but they played that role wellBoth players are so fast that it will not be easy for domestic players to stop them. Also, there are parts that do better when we match up with each other during practice. You have to pull out what you're doing well as much as you can. I think I'll do better in the future" he evaluated.
Finally, Coach Wi said, `I don't know what it will be like because all six clubs have a lot of changes. Shinhan Bank also lost in the first round, but it is by no means a weak team. I think everyone should try the season. I hope it will be a fun season like the Spring and Autumn Warring States era", he predicted.
