The butterfly effect of Shinhan Bank, which has emerged as a game changer again, joining Choi Yi-sam!

Shinhan Bank exploded 10 three-point runs in the Samsung Life Insurance match on the 6th, winning 65 to 62, catching up with the fourth-place KB Stars by a radius train. Samsung Life Insurance was so strong that it caught Woori Bank in the previous game and jumped to a tie for second place, but it beat it brutally. He also maintained his advantage with 3 wins and 1 loss against Samsung Life Insurance this season.
Shinhan Bank had a difficult game by leading by 13 points until the middle of the fourth quarter and chasing by 2 points with 15 seconds left, but it was meaningful to keep the victory in the end. This is because he overcame anxiety that he could repeat the same mistake for two consecutive games because he was leading by six points against Hana Bank on the 2nd, four days ago, and lost at the end of the fourth quarter.
There are many factors that have restored the atmosphere and momentum in just one game, but the first can be attributed to the addition of shooter Choi Yi-sam. Choi Yi-sam, who was back on the court for the first time in eight games since the match against Woori Bank on November 23 last year, played more than 20 minutes on the day with 12 points and four rebounds, including two 3-pointers.
Just as important as this record is the synergy factor that affects colleagues, a kind of 'butterfly effect'.
First of all, while Choi Yi-sam was on the bench, he was guaranteed a long playing time, recorded a double-double in four consecutive games for the first time as a rookie, and was unusually second in the third round MVP vote. Amid the overlapping movement and roles of the two players, Hong Yoo-soon, who played with Choi Yi-sam or separately in the match, played only about 24 minutes and was sent off for five fouls, but alternately blocked Lee Hae-ran and Bae Hye-yoon, the main scorers of the opponent. The driving force behind Hong Yoo-soon's stronger and more active defense than usual is Choi Yi-sam's presence. With Japanese center Rika Tanimura mainly guarding the goal, Hong Yu-soon, who has good physical strength, was able to take turns in and out of the country and actively participate in switch defense.
When Hong Yoo-soon and Choi Yi-sam played on the court together with Rika, the right to provide was secured, and guards with good shots, including Lee Kyung-eun and Shin Yi-seul, Jihyun Shin, were able to actively shoot outside. Shinhan Bank attempted 28 3-pointers on the day and easily widened the score by taking control of the outside to the extent that it scored 10. It is a tight schedule to play three games on the 6th this week, and except for Lee Kyung-eun (32 minutes and 10 seconds), it is possible to rotate enough to control the playing time of the main players to less than 30 minutes, which is the effect of Choi E-sam's return.
The remaining task is how to maximize the ability of the two players when playing with Hong Yoo-soon, along with the full recovery of Choi Yi-sam's physical condition. Acting Shinhan Bank coach Lee Si-joon also said, `Ultimately, it can be said that the best lineup is for the two players to play together on the court. Therefore, Hong Yoo-soon is mainly located in the paint zone but needs to increase the shooting distance, and Choi Yi-sam is planning to prevent overlapping movements, such as focusing more on outer attacks.
Choi Yi-sam also " (Hong) Yoo-soon is still lacking in defense because it is her debut season, but she is diligently moving and taking on rebounds and bad things." I think I'll be a really scary player"It's a burden to be in charge of the third position (shooting forward), and I have my own strengths (such as a two-on-two play), but anyway, I'll let the two of them practice in the future to create synergy."
