Couldn’t they even reach 10 wins, their last pride? KB Stars collapsed helplessly.
Cheongju KB Stars, led by coach Kim Wan-su, lost 59-70 in the Shinhan Bank SOL 2022-2023 women’s professional basketball regular league away game against Yongin Samsung Life Insurance held at Yongin Gymnasium on the 20th. 5th place KB Stars fell into a 3-game losing streak and stayed at 9-19.
The final score difference was 11 points, but the performance difference was more than that. KB Stars started the first quarter by allowing Lee Myeong-gwan a 3-point shot 4 seconds into the game, and only scored 2 points in 5 minutes, turning the tide from the beginning.
KB Stars lost after being dragged around for a long time. At the end of the third quarter, the gap widened to 21 points. Shim Seong-young (17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals) struggled, but there was no quick attack, and the team rebound (2-11) also showed a big difference. The final gap was 11 points, but it was difficult to give meaning to it because it was a chase made with both teams putting in a large number of bench members after the middle of the 4th quarter, when the game was in fact different.
Coach Kim Wan-soo said after the game, “I hoped for an active defense from the beginning, but both offense and defense were passive. 카지노사이트 He tried to block Bae Hye-yoon (6 points). This part has been done to some extent, but it is regrettable that other players gave 3-point shots. I think it will be a good game if we defend confidently from the beginning like in the second half, but after the gap widens, that will come out. For the remaining two games, I hope to play with confidence in both offense and defense from the beginning.”
Eom Seo-i (no score, 5 rebounds, 3 steals) was fouled out after only playing for 13 minutes and 59 seconds. Regarding this, manager Kim Wan-soo said, “I don’t have much experience yet, so my foul management is insufficient. There are times when I don’t recognize when I should (foul) and when I shouldn’t, but I think it’s enough to point out this part. We will think more about how to utilize Um Seo-i and other bench members.”
Meanwhile, KB Stars will play their last home game against Asan Woori Bank on the 25th. Then, on March 2, they will have their last game of the season against Busan BNK.
