Cheongju KB ace Kang Yi-seul definitely felt it during the off-season training in Japan.
"Our basketball, focused on strong transitions and three-point shooting, worked against the Japanese professional team. I could feel it from the performance itself. I was confident that it would go well this season."
KB has a painful memory two years ago.
Park Ji-soo, the team's absolute ace, left the line due to a sudden panic disorder. All tactics and strategies of airlift had to be modified. However, neither the time nor the mind was properly prepared.
KB received a lot of criticism. There were also criticisms that `because Park Ji-soo is not here, Kang Yi-seul and Heo Ye-eun have become ordinary players.'
It was a criticism of the 'Park Ji-soo Umbrella Effect'. There were excuses, but it didn't work in reality. If the star player falls out ahead of the season, the team will inevitably be confused. All positions have to be adjusted, and there is far less time to match hands and feet.
In the end, KB was frustrated two years ago.
Park Ji-soo declared his overseas expansion. KB had to find all the concepts again. KB manager Kim Wan-soo came to a conclusion after numerous considerations and adjustments. It was 'Simple is best'.
Na Yoon-jung came in as an FA. Kang Yi-seul and Na Yoon-jung are the league's top three-point shooter. Multiplayer Moe Nagata joined the Asian quarter. Heo Ye-eun is still a top-notch technician in the league. It was a point guard that could not only target one-on-one mismatches but also spray efficient passes from set offens. He is also good at two-on-two attacks.
The strategy was adjusted to suit the players. Two strong concepts. Strong transition, and fearless 3-pointer. The team's strength was to increase the number of shots itself with transitions, and the team's bold strength with fastballs and early offens was its strategy to increase the frequency of 3-point shots.
In a way, it's extreme. increased the amount of training. When Kang Yi-seul and Heo Ye-eun, who returned from the national team, joined, the team's color became darker.
I needed conviction. He showed good performance in Japan's off-season training. This is where Kang Yi-seul has confidence.
Kang Yi-seul and Heo Ye-eun are definitely different from two years ago this season. Kang Yi-seul is responsible for the game. In addition to the main three-point shot, he added a two-to-two attack with a mismatch attack and a ball handler. He went from an all-weather shooter to a team ace. Heo Ye-eun also leads the speedy attack along with attacking the mismatch. Nagatamoe's entry into the Asian quarter was 'Hwarong Peak' He plays a part in offense while doing bad things such as defense and rebound, which are essential for KB.
KB beat Woori Bank 58-54 in the 2024-2025 Hana Bank Women's Professional Basketball Regular League home game at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 13th. He succeeded in turning the tables with a difference of more than 10 points in the first half. Three wins and two losses.
KB, which was initially considered the lowest in objective power. Coach Wi Sung-woo of Woori Bank said, `KB seems to have prepared really well for this season. Not only coach Kim Wan-soo, but also Kang Yi-seul, Heo Ye-eun, and Nagata Moe showed quite solid performance.
