Busan BNK Some's strong background in solidifying its strong solo system this season. As the players play evenly, it is difficult for the opposing team to properly plan its defense strategy. That's how the first round was won. BNK overcame Bucheon Hana Bank's strong early momentum and won a come-from-behind victory, achieving a first-round victory (5 consecutive wins).
BNK won 65:45 against Hana Bank in the last game of the first round of 'Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball' held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 11th. BNK, which was rather behind 29-33 until the first half, completely dominated the third and fourth quarters and completed a 20-point victory. BNK's powerful background stood out.
This result comes from BNK's team tactics characteristics that do not rely on only one specific player. BNK recruited Park Hye-jin and Kim Sonia ahead of this season. WKBL's best star player and technician. On top of that, Ahn Hye-ji, Lee So-hee and Iijima Saki, who were selected in the Asian quarter, are all players with excellent personal skills. They follow the instructions of coach Park Jung-eun and perform evenly based on teamwork. Depending on the opponent's playing style, the player who performs the best will be different.
Lee So-hee was the heroine of the last home game against Hana Bank in the first round. Lee So-hee scored a personal-high 22 points, including four 3-pointers. Of course, Park Hye-jin (18 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists) also performed fantastic in the triple-double class. In terms of records, he is a heroine who is second to none other than Lee So-hee.
The first half was pushed out of strength. Jinan, the center who ate a pair of rice at BNK Thumb until last season, led the post attack. Veteran Kim Jong-un, who recovered from injury, also played powerfully together. This is Jinan's first score With Yuzuki's three-point shot, Hana Bank seemed to set the tone in the early stages with a 5-0 run.
However, Lee So-hee came forward at this time. After taking over Ahn Hye-ji's still, he scored a two-point shot in the paint zone, and in the offensive opportunity made by Sonia's defensive rebound, he scored three points cleanly to balance it 5-5. Two more free throws from 5-7 here. Lee So-hee scored all seven points at the beginning of the first quarter of BNK Thumb. Thanks to this, BNK Thumb was able to finish the first quarter 18-19. Hana Bank also led 14-11 in the second quarter.
The tide suddenly changed in the second half. Kim Sonia-Park Hye-jin and transfer student Stadio took the lead early in the third quarter. Kim Sonia dug in and scored two free throws, and Park Hye-jin scored seven points, including three points. The score was reversed at once. Since then, Hana Bank's shot success rate has fallen to an extreme level. In addition, even Jinan was caught in foul trouble early in the third quarter, failing to show his fighting spirit. He was constantly caught up in BNK Some's tight defense.
Hana Bank ended up scoring only six points each in the third and fourth quarters. Lee So-hee completely knocked down the lethargic Hana Bank with a long-range three-point shot.
