Hana Bank continued to lag behind Shinhan Bank at the beginning of the game in the 'Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball' held at Bucheon Gymnasium on the 2nd, but showed a scary background in the last minute, resulting in a dramatic come-from-behind victory of 58-56. Considering that Shinhan Bank was so surprising that it caught top teams such as Woori Bank and Samsung Life Insurance in a row at the end of the first half, it can be said to be an effect of more than one win.
In fact, in terms of the recent momentum, Shinhan Bank's victory was expected. Shinhan Bank has its oldest member Lee Kyung-eun and youngest member Hong Yoo-soon, who are showing their `crazy presence' in recent games.
In particular, Hong Yoo-soon is a Korean-Japanese, and her basic skills, which have been solidly strengthened through Japanese academy basketball, have been shining since her debut season. Shinhan Bank's acting coach Lee Si-joon also said, `These days, domestic rookies come to the professional league without proper physical strength or basic skills, so they have less physical strength than some senior players. In this respect, Hong Yoo-soon is well prepared to play full-time, saying, `He is so well-prepared that he does not care about records at all during the game and is so good that he only focuses on team play.'
It was the same in the game. In particular, in the second quarter, Hong Yoo-soon caught the ball delivered by Lee Kyung-eun from the end line and connected it to a shot under the basket, and when she did not have the ball, she caught Kim Ji-young's pass like a thunderbolt and scored again.
However, Hana Bank was more determined to win on this day. Hana Bank continued to be dragged from the beginning of the game, unable to prevent Shinhan Bank's attacks on the outskirts of Jihyun Shin and under the basket by Rika Tanimura and Hong Yoo-soon. It trailed 27-33 in the first half, and in the third quarter, it was difficult to close the gap even though the opponent scored only eight points.
After being dragged 41-47 until the middle of the fourth quarter, Japanese guard Ishida Yuzuki hit his third 3-pointer after two in the first quarter, and he began to find a clue to the reversal. Lee Kyung-eun responded with a three-point shot, but Yuzuki's three-point shot broke out again, followed by double posts such as Jinan and Yang Ji-young, who combined for six points and succeeded in turning the game around 53-50 with about three minutes left.
Then he was chased 56-56 again, but in the final attack, veteran Kim Jong-un made a dramatic buzzer-beater to secure the victory.
