Park Ji-hyun and Lee Myung-kwan added energy to the team and led the team to a five-game winning streak.


Asan Woori Bank beat Bucheon Hana One Q 60-48 in the women's professional basketball regular league of Woori Bank's Woori WON 2023-2024 held at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium on Wednesday. The team has won five consecutive games.

Defending champion Woori Bank has been having a rather difficult season. Freshman Yoo Seung-hee (174 cm, G) was out injured from the season's opening game. After returning from injury, Park Hye-jin suffered a knee injury in a match against Shinhan Bank in Incheon.

In response, Woori Bank coach Wi Sung-woo said, "(Park) Hye-jin came out for six weeks. She needs to rest. She needs treatment and rehabilitation. I'm worried. But we should think that she has returned to the original state as she did when she was not around," in expressing Park's physical condition.

He added, "This has been happening since the opening game. I can't do anything about it. There are seasons like this, and there are seasons like that. I think it's right to hold out well until Hye-jin comes back. We told each other to run one more step at a time."

It is very difficult for a specific player to fill Park Hye-jin's void. Park Hye-jin is a versatile player, such as offense and defense, and assembling games. That's why Wi emphasized the players' fighting spirit.

To this end, young players had to contribute. At the center were Park Ji-hyun (183 centimeters, G), the present and future of the team, and Lee Myung-kwan (174 centimeters, F), a new member of Woori Bank.

Park's final performance was 10 points and eight rebounds. He did not score as many points as usual. However, he displayed tremendous presence in defense.

Park's opponent for the match was Jihyun Shin (174 cm, G), the ace of the rival team. The Jihyun Shin was tied to Park's defense and scored only eight points on the day.

In addition, Woori Bank frequently uses switch defense. Park was not easily pushed back even in switch situations with other players. Notably, he did not lag behind Yang In-young (184 cm, C), the center of the opposing team. In the third quarter, he also stole balls that were put into Yang.

He also contributed greatly to the defense of the team. Woori Bank made efforts not to yield an easy goal to Kim Jong-un (179 cm, F). When he caught the ball at the corner, he helped defend himself. Park Ji-hyun was at the center of it. This was the hidden factor that enabled Lee Myung-kwan to stop Kim Jong-un.

At 4:38 into the third quarter, Park displayed a one-man fastball after stealing. It was a valuable goal to boost the team's mood. Park contributed to the defense, recording four block shots and four steals.

Lee did his part, too. As mentioned earlier, Lee's counterpart in the matchup was Kim Jong Un. It was not easy to lose ground in the battle. At 2:36 into the third quarter, Kim even induced his attacker to foul.

It was particularly impressive in its speedy defense. It interfered with the opponent team by playing a backcourt before anyone else even in the opponent team's speedy attack situation. This is because Hana One Q failed to carry out its transition attack normally. Lee's final performance was 13 points, seven rebounds, and two steals.

Both players also displayed respectable performances in offense. However, they contributed significantly to the team's victory when they were invisible.
