That is painful

Cheongju KB lost 57-62 to Asan Woori Bank in Game 3 of Woori Bank's Woori WON 2023-2024 women's professional basketball championship match held at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium on the 28th. They won and lost two games in the series. They are on the verge of dying.

The pillar of KB is Park Ji-soo (196 cm tall, C). He is 196 centimeters tall, fighting for the right to supply, defense under the basket, maneuverability and speed that do not match his 196 centimeters tall, and even a sense of basketball. Hence, teammates with Park feel reassured and players facing Park feel scared. 안전놀이터

There is someone who is creating synergy with Park Ji-soo. It's Kang Yi-seul. After the end of the 2020-2021 season, he joined KB as a free agent and won the title throughout his first season (2021-2022).

However, Park Ji-soo left for a long time due to panic disorder, and Kang Yi-seul's burden increased. The same was true of intensive checks on Kang Yi-seul. He tried to give a chance somehow, but failed to prevent his team from dropping out of the playoffs. Both KB Stars and Kang Yi-seul lost their pride during the 2022-2023 season.

After the end of the 2022-2023 season, I got another FA. But I decided to stay at KB. I've been sweating for a long time since April 9th. And I'm in my third season at KB.

Kang played an average of 31 minutes and 19 seconds in 29 games during the 2023-2024 season. He has 14.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers per game. The success rate is about 35.5 percent, which helped KB win the regular season title.

Kang Yi-seul, who helped him win the regular league title, came out in the playoffs for the first time in two years. He recorded 1.0 steals with 2.7 assists and 12.3 points and 6.7 rebounds (attack 2.0) in an average of 35 minutes and 51 seconds against his former team, Bucheon Hana One Q. Although his advantage of three-point shooting was only about 26.9 percent (7/26), he led KB to the championship game due to misfortune.

Kang I-seul scored three points in the first leg of the championship game. He gave Woori a chill with his 20 points. In the second leg, he dispersed Woori's defense, which was focused on Park Ji-soo (196 cm, C), as much as possible, although he scored just one point. As a result, KB had one win and one loss until the second leg of this championship game.

And in the third game, Kang failed to display remarkable performance during the first five minutes of the match. However, other players including Heo Ye-eun (165 cm, G)- Shim Sung-young (165 cm, G)-Yum Yoon-ah (176 cm, G) won the title. Kang was able to be free from the burden of scoring goals.

In addition, Kang Yi-seul removed the energy of Park Hye-jin (178 cm, G) with her ballless movement. That was big enough. If Park Hye-jin loses her energy, Woori Bank's offense and defense balance could collapse. So, Kang Yi-seul's ballless movement was quite important.

KB led the game 15-13, thanks to Kang's invisible contribution. Kang didn't insist on going beyond the three-point line in the second quarter. It caused an imbalance in Woori's defense near the rim. He also made a handheld ball by participating in the offensive rebound. He showed his passion.

In addition, Heo Ye-eun and Kim Min-jung (180 cm, F) scored three points in a row. The defense against Kang Yi-seul could have been loose. Also, there were encouraging results. KB finished the first half with a two-digit margin (35-23).

Kang Yi-seul, who had been silent, burst in the first minute and 16 seconds of the third quarter. After utilizing Park Ji-soo's away screen, he immediately put KB ahead 39-23. It was a score that could have made Woori slow down.

However, KB failed to block Woori's quick attack. It allowed Park Hye-jin (178 cm, G) even three upset points (43-44) 1 minute and 56 seconds before the end of the third quarter. Furthermore, Park Ji-soo was sensitive to the decision. For this reason, Kang Yi-seul's more pressing was required.

Kang Yi-seul did not burst, but Shim Sung-young and Yeom Yoon-ah scored. With the two players cheering up, KB was able to narrow the gap with Woori. They made it 53-54 at the start of the fourth quarter, 3:52 into the game.

However, neither KB nor Kang exceeded the final hurdle. In particular, the team lost to Choi Yi-sam (182 cm, F) by three points in one minute and 24 seconds before the game ended. After that, the team failed to recover from the backlog. KB had to concede an important game. Kang was also disappointed. He finished the third game with six points and zero three-point shots.
