Yongin Samsung Life Insurance, which was in shock of its opening four consecutive losses, is slowly regaining its appearance as a `dark horse.' On the 18th, he won 63 to 46 in the second round of away games against Cheongju KB Stars 'Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball' held at Cheongju Gymnasium, winning three consecutive games. Kiana Smith (16 points) and Bae Hye-yoon (17 points) combined for 33 points and played the role of a double coach to lead the victory.
Samsung Life Insurance coach Ha Sang-yoon, who won on the day, said "I asked him to defend the help when a mismatch occurred during practice, but it didn't go well in the first half, but it worked in the second half. We lost the rebound today and allowed 25 transition shots to our opponents, which didn't go well and we were lucky. The Defense Switch is on the right side. Most importantly, Bae Hye-yoon and Kiana Smith scored points, which was the factor of the victory."
Smith, who is playing under management for the aftermath of his injury, then shot six and made one, but he still scored a three-point shot when it was crucial. I look forward to a more explosive appearance. Just do it when it matters, and that's Smith's role. I want to ask you to take care of yourself and focus more."
Coach Ha continued "In the future, Jo Su-ana Hirano Mitsuki and Kim Dan-bi Kim Na-yeon will return. Then the rotation will become more active, and non-mainstream players will also play a good role in taking out the opponent's physical strength. I hope that goes well. After that, it will be better if the main members play a decisive role."
