Samsung Life Insurance, along with Woori Bank, maintains strong power and momentum to threaten the leader BNK, while Shinhan Bank is the core of the mid-range game. While veterans such as Bae Hye-yoon and Lee Kyung-eun are the focal points, young players such as Kiana Smith and Lee Hae-ran from Samsung Life Insurance and Rika Tanimura and Hong Yoo-soon from Shinhan Bank are active, and the new and old harmony is also excellent. There are plenty of guards, and the offense and defense transition is fast. Both Samsung Life Insurance coach Ha Sang-yoon and Shinhan Bank acting coach Lee Si-joon are highly motivated because they are in their debut season as head coaches.
What is interesting is that Samsung Life Insurance is trailing fifth-ranked Shinhan Bank by 1 win and 2 losses in its opponents, even though it is second until the third round. Samsung Life Insurance is also ahead of BNK with 2 wins and 1 loss, while Shinhan Bank is losing all three games to BNK, so it also has a solid relationship.
In this respect, both Samsung Life Insurance, which is challenging for the first place, and Shinhan Bank, which is seeking to leap to the fourth place, were determined to catch their fourth showdown of the season at Yongin Indoor Gymnasium on the 6th.
First of all, the first half was like a general. After the start of the first quarter, Samsung Life Insurance led 19-11 with four consecutive points by Bae Hye-yoon and most of the players on the court, including Kang Yoo-rim, Jo Su-ah, Lee Hae-ran and Kim Ah-reum, joining the scoring evenly. However, when Bae Hye-yoon was out from the start of the second quarter, Shinhan Bank began to fight back. Shin Yi-seul, who faced the "Friendship Team", opened the game with a three-point shot, followed by Kim Ji-young, Hong Yoo-soon, and Rika Tanimura in the Fate Zone, and Lee Kyung-eun and Choi Yi-sam, who scored 17 points, combined to turn the game around 28-19.
Samsung Life Insurance scored its first point in the second quarter with Kang Yoo-rim's three-point shot six minutes after Bae Hye-yoon was put in again, and Shooter Kiana Smith scored her first point with about two minutes left in the first half, failing to break through the strong pressure of Shinhan Bank, which alternated between the double team and the pressure defense.
Kiana, who caught the shot, led Samsung Life's strong counterattack in the third quarter. From the middle of the third quarter, when Kiana was trailing 34-42, she swept eight points, including three-pointers, two free throws earned by U-foul, and a bonus one-shot following a shot under the basket, creating a two-point super-contact.
However, entering the fourth quarter, Shinhan Bank reproduced the pace of the second quarter. Lee Kyung-eun scored 11 points in a row with Choi Yi-sam and Shin Yi-seul scoring three consecutive three-pointers and Rika's under-the-goal shot, and kept it to the end. With a total of 10 three-point successes, including four each by Lee Kyung-eun and two by Choi Yi-sam, Samsung Life Insurance failed to withstand and again overcome its relationship with Shinhan Bank. Shinhan Bank won 65 to 62, approaching the fourth-place KB Stars by a radial train. Choi Yi-sam's return to the court after eight games since the match against Woori Bank on November 23 last year was a huge success.
