Woori Bank failed to endure 3.2 seconds and suffered a come-from-behind loss, making the entire playoff series 1-1 loss.
Woori Bank led 57-56 in the second playoff game against KB Stars at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium on the 4th, and lost 57-58 after being hit by KB's Nagata Moe with a buzzer-beater 2-point shot. If he won on this day, it was a great opportunity to catch 100% of the chance to win the championship in the previous playoff with two consecutive wins, but rather, the pressure had to increase as KB had to play in Cheongju, where games 3 to 4 were absolutely strong.
The dependence on Kim Dan-bi eventually became a drag. Kim Dan-bi, who led the offense and defense by taking charge of 23 points and 10 rebounds until the fourth quarter, was responsible for the game, and handed over the offensive rights by passing the ball in the final attack, which KB dramatically utilized.
Woori Bank manager Wi Sung-woo smiled despondently, saying, `It seems like this is the first time we've lost a PO like this.' `It seems like KB is more determined to die than us.' Then "It was too much for Kim Dan-bi to do it alone. It turned out that the other players had little experience, he said. "I'll quickly forget about today's game and prepare for Game 3."
As for Kim Dan-bi's last turnover, Coach Wi said, `It must have been difficult in terms of physicality. I think it's the fate of ace. It would have been a big shock if other players did it, but... Anyway, since it's Kim Danbi, I expect you to shake it off well," he said, expressing his consolation.
As for Lee Min-ji, a special rookie who scored a dramatic three-point goal in the last attack, "He is also a good player. If I had won, of course, I would have been the best player, but I didn't think I would be able to finish in the third game anyway, although the atmosphere would be different in Cheongju, KB's home. I will prepare well with the thought of going to Game 5."
