2023-2024 season postseason media day

The women’s professional basketball 2023-2024 season playoffs will begin on the 9th with a match between Cheongju KB, ranked 1st in the regular league, and Bucheon Hana One Q, ranked 4th.

In this year’s playoffs, 1st place KB and 4th place Hana One Q, 2nd place Asan Woori Bank and 3rd place Yongin Samsung Life Insurance will face each other.The difference from last season is that the series was lengthened from 2 wins out of 3 to 3 wins out of 5.

The coaches and players of the four teams who want to become the protagonists of ‘Spring Basketball’ attended the Woori Bank Woori WON 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball Postseason Media Day held at the Stanford Hotel Korea in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 5th and expressed their determination to win.

First of all, looking at the playoff situation, KB, which took first place in the regular league with a whopping 27 wins and 3 losses, and Woori Bank, which took second place with 23 wins and 7 losses, established a ‘two-strong system’ throughout the season, so both teams advanced to the championship game. It is true that the prospect that the possibility is high is encouraging.

In the regular league head-to-head record, KB had an overwhelming advantage over Hana 1Q, winning all 6 games, and Woori Bank had 5 wins and 1 loss over Samsung Life Insurance.

However, Samsung Life Insurance (16 wins, 14 losses) advanced to the playoffs with 14 wins, 16 losses, and 4th place in the regular league in the 2020-2021 season, and then defeated Woori Bank and KB, who were also the ‘top two’ at the time, in the playoffs and championship game. It is a traditional basketball team that caused an upset by winning the championship.

Also, Hana 1Q is on the rise, advancing to the playoffs for the first time since the team was founded in 2012, and veteran Kim Jong-un is holding on, so it is not an easy opponent to watch.

However, in terms of objective power, it is highly likely that KB and Woori Bank will have an advantage in the playoffs.

KB, the winning team in the 2021-2022 season, collapsed helplessly in the 2022-2023 season as the team’s star, Park Ji-soo, was unable to display his skills due to panic disorder and other reasons.

They finished in 5th place with 10 wins and 20 losses in the regular league and did not even make it to the playoffs.

This year, Park Ji-soo made a comeback to the extent of sweeping the Most Valuable Player (MVP) honors in rounds 1 to 5 of the regular league, and with the help of Kang Yi-seul, Heo Ye-eun, and Kim Min-jung, the team regained its dominant form of winning all of its home games and achieving a 90% regular league win rate.

KB coach Kim Wan-soo said, “It’s been a long time since I came here, and I felt that it was that difficult and difficult. As the yellow of the forsythia is similar to our team color, I will bloom like a forsythia and create an enjoyable postseason with basketball.” 토토사이트
