    Women’s Basketball Woori Bank defeats BNK to take sole lead…1 point behind KB

    Asan Woori Bank takes sole possession of first place in the women’s professional basketball league with a win over Busan BNK.

    Woori Bank defeated BNK 76-72 on Tuesday in the home leg of the Woori WON 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball League regular season at Yi Sunshin Gymnasium in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do.

    Riding a six-game winning streak, 스포츠토토 Woori Bank remained in sole possession of first place (12-1) with a one-game lead over second-place Cheongju KB (11-2).

    Woori Bank will host Samsung Life away on Dec. 22 before hosting KB for the third time this season on Christmas Day.

    BNK, which played a back-and-forth game with the leaders but was unable to accumulate a win, remained in fifth place (4-10).

    Woori Bank seemed to be taking it easy in the second quarter, taking an eight-point lead at one point, but a mid-range basket by Jin An and an outside shot by Ahn Hye-ji in the final minute of the quarter left them trailing by three points, 41-38, at halftime.

    A fierce seesaw game ensued, with BNK taking a 51-50 lead midway through the third quarter on a Jinan free throw.

    The game was decided in the final minutes.

    With 9.9 seconds left, Goara’s three-pointer cleanly split the rim to give Woori Bank a four-point lead, 76-72.

    On BNK’s final offensive possession, Jinan’s three missed the rim and Goara grabbed the defensive rebound to seal the win for Woori Bank.

    Choi set a new career-high for points in a single game and reached 200 career three-pointers.

    Woori Bank Director Satoshi Woo “Lee Myung-kwan is a lucky man!”

    “Lee Myung-kwan is truly a godsend!”

    Woori Bank head coach Lee Sat-woo is not one to lavish praise. The exception this season is Lee Myung-kwan.

    On the 20th, they defeated BNK 카지노사이트 in a hard-fought game.

    After the game, Satellite said, “Kim Dan-bi and Park Ji-hyun were not good. Lee Myung-kwan and Choi Yi-sam made up for it. I think this is the part that shows that we are a strong team. In the penalty shootout, Go Ara had a lucky shot, but it went in.” He added, “We didn’t play well, but we’re still winning. We have to hold on until Park Hye-jin comes in, but I think she’s doing a good job. Lee Myung-kwan, Noh Hyun-ji, and others are doing a good job by doing dirty work and defending hard.” “There are three games left until the All-Star break. We have Samsung Life, KB, and BNK left, and they’re all tough. We’ll try to keep our players together and get through them well.”

    Lee Myung-kwan is definitely making an impact. “During the game, we had some holes in our defense and I even said something to Lee Myung-kwan. However, there are some things that work well for the team. He seems to be a good fit for our team. As his stamina increases, he can play for about 30 minutes. His defense is better than I thought. His team defense is not as good as it should be, but it’s something that came out when he joined the team, and he’s good at defending with power. That’s what I appreciate about Lee Myung-kwan.”

    He added, “We are lucky to have Lee Myung-kwan on board. He instinctively fills in the gaps in the team.”
