Incheon Shinhan Bank, which was evaluated as a strong 'dark horse' this season, lost 64 to 76 to Asan Woori Bank in the home opener of the 'Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball' held at Dowon Gymnasium in Incheon on the 28th. Power and sophistication, especially in the ace fight.
During the offseason, Shinhan Bank brought 'FA Big 3' such as Jihyun Shin, Shin I-seul, and Choi Yi-sam, and also caught Tanimura Rika, the No. 1 player in the Asian quarter. All were put into the game from the first quarter. Everyone had good skills, but there was no synergy.
Above all, there was no person to succeed the 'Ace' position that Sonia, who moved to Busan BNK Some, was in charge of. This was the decisive defeat. Woori Bank has Kim Dan-bi, the MVP of last season's championship game, in good shape. Kim Dan-bi scored 15 points in the third quarter alone, which was the outcome of the game, turning the tide and giving the team a come-from-behind victory.
Shinhan Bank manager Guna-dan, who lost the home opening match on the same day, said "I think there were too many turnovers from the beginning." It became difficult with turnovers in particular important situations. I think we need to supplement that in the future." Then "There are some parts of the players that don't match their hands and feet. It's something that needs to be kept in line. It was still awkward for new players to play in one team," he added.
As for Tanimura, who made his WKBL debut through his home opener, "I did my part enough." It's been about six weeks since I've worked with other players, and 16 points and 10 rebounds today are enough to do my part."
Finally, head coach Koo also needs to resolve the fact that there are no players to play the role of `Ace' in the future. Overall, the players were so nervous in the first game that their hands and feet didn't match. There were also scenes where the spaces between each other did not match each other" and "We expect it to get better as we adjust the time difference" he said.
