Shinhan Bank has allowed three ties since turning the tables in the second quarter of the game against Samsung Life Insurance in the 「Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball」 held at Incheon Dowon Gymnasium on the 14th, but after showing concentration that never allowed the reversal, it won 71-61 to win for the fourth time of the season.
Japanese center Rika Tanimura, who was blocking Samsung Life Insurance's Bae Hye-yoon, faced the biggest crisis at the beginning of the fourth quarter with five fouls out, but he defended the victory with mercenary skills that showed instant double-team defense, including big rookie Hong Yoo-soon. Hong Yoo-soon, who played a triple-double with 10 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 steals on the day, even wrote a milestone of recording a double-double in three consecutive games for the first time since the introduction of a single season. On top of that, as many as four players, including Hong Yoo-soon, Jihyun Shin Lee Kyung-eun (17 points each) and Rika (12 points), scored double-digit points, further raising the possibility of a mid-range leap in the future.
It was difficult to guess the game 58-57 until about four minutes after the end of the game. Above all, after Rika's foul out, Samsung Life Insurance chased Bae Hye-yoon down six points. However, Shinhan Bank did not collapse here and blocked Bae Hye-yoon well with a cooperative defense, and Shin Yi-seul's decisive three-point shot against the 'Friendship Team' followed by Hong Yoo-soon's shot under the basket, leaving the chasing area 65-57. In addition, with about a minute left before the end of the game, Hong Yoo-soon blocked Bae Hye-yoon's middle jumper to completely win the game.
Samsung Life Insurance's Bae Hye-yoon led the attack with 24 points, but it failed to continue its momentum by defeating BNK Sum 60-43 on the 12th, with shooter Kiana Smith failing to play and another shooter, Kang Yoo-rim, scoring no points.
