Son Heung-min's video We are Park Ji-sung and Cha Bum-keun

Woori Bank in Asan, the Women's Professional Basketball League (WKBL), beat the championship game (three wins out of five) thanks to the strong performance of veteran Kim Dan-bi. Above all, the biggest income was the capture of Cheongju Gymnasium, which was considered "invincible." Kim Dan-bi was very happy about this, but showed confidence in the next series by showing a winner-like composure.

Woori Bank defeated KB 68-62 in the first round of the Woori WON 2023-24 women's professional basketball championship held at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 24th. The odds of winning the first round of the WKBL championship are 71.9 percent. Woori Bank has this chance in the right place.

Initially, the game was expected to be KB's dominance, but Woori Bank's potential shone. Woori Bank has the most championship teams (14 times) in the championship. Despite the losing ground on the day, it stood against KB by showing various defense and attack tactics.

In particular, it was Kim Dan-bi who led the chase. He was somewhat silent in the first quarter, but led the chase by focusing on 17 points in the second and third quarters alone. In defense, Park Ji-soo was seen stopping him by cooperating with Park Ji-hyun.

Although he remained silent in the fourth quarter, he added accurate reading and blocks, contributing to the reversal in the fourth quarter. Park Ji-hyun (7 points) and Na Yoon-jung (10 points) jointly scored 17 points in the fourth quarter alone. Meanwhile, Kim Dan-bi's final score on the day was 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists.

Kim Dan-bi, who faced reporters after the match, said with a hearty laugh, "Time flew by. I don't even remember when the match was decided." On the matchup against Park Ji-soo, Kim said, "I couldn't move my legs from the fourth quarter. You are an amazing player. I kept dealing with (Park) Ji-hyun alternately. To be honest, I don't think I did a good job."

From Woori Bank's point of view, it is a good thing to ring the bell at Cheongju Gymnasium, which was the same as today. Kim Dan-bi also laughed, saying, "I have never recorded a home win in my long career. It was meaningful that we beat such a strong team in the championship."

"I played basketball," Kim said of his juniors' performance in the fourth quarter. "Woori Bank's strength is that they support and defend each other so that their teammates can do well. No matter what player comes in every quarter, they can do well. That is our teamwork, too."

When the reporters asked about the prospects for the series, Kim Dan-bi said, "I heard that Woori Bank is difficult to handle in a calm manner. But today, I thought it was worth a try. Even the players would not know about the series."

Meanwhile, before the game, KB coach Kim Wan-soo attracted the attention of reporters by saying that he showed a collection of speeches by Son Heung-min, the captain of the national soccer team, to motivate himself before the game. When he told Kim Dan-bi about this, he joked, "We will play the second game after watching the video of former player Park Ji-sung and former coach Cha Bum-keun."

The second round of the championship between KB and Woori Bank will be held at the same place on the 26th. The winning team of the previous championship games 1 and 2 has a 100% chance of winning.
