Samsung Life Insurance is losing consecutive games. Before the game, Samsung Life Insurance coach Ha Sang-yoon said "It's all because I set it wrong.' He said "The foul call has become stiff this season. It's a hard call, but there's something we haven't adapted to in this part. We are continuing to make corrections."
It was a double track of the game's turnaround on the day. It was also an indication that Samsung Life Insurance's physical fight would become stronger.
KB coach Kim Wan-soo thoroughly prepared. However, the preparation was simplified again. "Only ordered a key part in attack and defense. If it is not simple, it becomes difficult for players to adapt on the court. There was also adequate advice from coaches."

Samsung Life Insurance's Bae Hye-yoon and Keana Smith are not 100% in condition. Samsung Life Insurance has a dependence on the two players. The two players were sluggish in the match. In the end, Samsung Life Insurance is losing consecutive games. One win in the season is urgently needed.
KB's team color completely changed after Park Ji-soo went overseas. It was simple, but the meaning was very important. It's a strong transition and fearless 3-pointer.
It was a product of the desperate need to make small lineups and fast attacks to survive. KB's strong offense and defensive pressure density have improved considerably. This is the key reason why he is cruising early in the season with 2-1 losses, overturning his assessment of being the lowest player in the season.
The game has begun. Samsung Life Insurance embarrassed KB players with a rough physical fight. It also added a quick fastball. The space opened up for Kiana Smith, and she hit a 3-pointer without hesitation.

However, Samsung Life Insurance cut KB's chase with Kang Yoo-rim's step back jumper and Bae Hye-yoon's mid jumper. The attack was not smooth, but he eventually scored. Heo Ye-eun made a series of mistakes. Lee Ju-yeon's strong pressure has been applied.
However, Nagata Moe, one of the best players in the Asian quarter, cut the flow of Samsung Life. One-on-one mid jumper against Smith. Afterwards, the pressure and fastball score by a steal,
KB, which revived the atmosphere, used the screen to create a miss match between Heo Ye-eun and Kiana Smith. Heo eun beats out with a crossover dribble, then connects superbly to Nagata entering the baseline cut-in.

KB's early pressure defense was effective. However, he failed to break through the offensive path. Kang Yi-seul and Nagata led the attack. However, it was not an effective attack method that matched up hunting against Kiana at the end of the second quarter. Breaking through under the basket against Lee Hae-ran. In the end, I failed.
Then, Samsung Life Insurance's Kang Yoo-rim drilled under the basket with a sharp cut-in. Samsung Life Insurance ran away again at the timing of KB's pursuit.

KB was very important at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Virtually the last chance to start a chase.
Until the third quarter, KB failed to create a storm of transitions, the early offense that followed, and the three-point storm. Samsung Life Insurance succeeded in controlling it with a backcourt and pressure.
In addition, Samsung Life continued to utilize the mismatch, putting pressure on KB's small lineup
In the end, Samsung Life Insurance ran away even more. Lee Ju-yeon's attack under the basket, Heo Ye-eun's defense. At this time, just as Na Yoon-jung on the opposite side tried to come to the help defense, Lee Ju-yeon connected to Lee Hae-ran of the corner, and a three-point burst. 51-36, 14-point lead. 7 minutes and 54 seconds left,
In fact, it was a moment when the victory or defeat was divided.
Samsung Life Insurance, which was evaluated as the top-ranked player, won its first victory of the season after a long struggle. Samsung Life Insurance's pressure on the day was definitely different from the previous game. Kiana Smith was still incomplete, but the form was coming up little by little.
