‘Minimum 39 points in team history’ coach Kim Wan-soo “The players worked hard”
KB Stars failed to escape their losing streak with a humiliating record. It was the lowest score ever for the team.
Cheongju KB Stars lost 39-51 in the Shinhan Bank SOL 2022-2023 women’s professional basketball regular league home game against Asan Woori Bank held at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 12th. 5th place KB Stars fell into a 5-game losing streak and took 4 games against 4th place Incheon Shinhan Bank.
It was a humiliating defeat for KB Stars. It was tied for 39 points, the lowest in team history. The previous record was 41 points left in the match against Woori Bank on December 17, 2016. In addition, after the launch of WKBL, it also had the disgrace of being the 7th team ever to score less than 40 points. For KB Stars, only Kim Min-jeong (18 points, 6 rebounds) scored double digits. Kang Iseul stayed at 3 points.
Coach Kim Wan-soo said after the game, “The rebounds (33-34) were equal. The players worked really hard, but the shot didn’t go in so there was no way. Tie Woori Bank to 51 points means that they worked really hard on defense. The attack in every game is disappointing. I have to shoot with confidence, but should I say that I seem to be saving (chance) too much?”
Director Kim Wan-soo added, “I would be grateful if the fans would wait a little longer. I lost, but I feel that the team is improving. As the players are working hard, we will soon repay the fans.” 토토
He did not spare praise for Kim Min-jung, who struggled alone. Coach Kim Wan-soo said of Kim Min-jung, “He is a very faithful player. Isn’t there a saying that he never betrays hard work? He is a player who can be a role model for our team players, so I am always grateful. He is the treasure of our team.”
Regarding Iseul Kang, who only scored 3 points, coach Kim Wan-soo said, “In addition to my back, I also had ankle pain in the middle of the game. Still, he digested the game because he is a player that the opponent won’t let go. He has hopes that things will get better in the future. In the absence of Park Ji-soo, he also serves as a leader.
