Busan BNK Some, led by head coach Park Jung-eun, lost 75-80 in a Group A showdown with Asan Woori Bank at the 2024 Woori Bank Park Shin-ja Cup held at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium on the 1st.
BNK Thumb used a total of 10 players. Among them, eight of them played for more than 15 minutes, focusing on experimenting with various combinations.
Coach Park Jung-eun said, "We tried many combinations, and we wanted the players to go through trial and error through this process. It was a game where we could see what kind of basketball we should play. There are attacks that use big men, but all players are pursuing attacks that create space on the outside. Players who have been assigned to the national team will need to learn this part, but the existing players have come out well practicing," he said.
In particular, Park Sung-jin, a big man in his third year, stood out. He was fouled out, but he created various scoring routes under the basket and displayed his concentration to win the ball. Park Jung-eun, the coach, also praised him, saying, "He was so good. I lacked a little detail, but my concentration was the best throughout the offseason."
Park also said, "I made some mistakes in an instant, but I can tell by looking at his eyes. I felt that my skills improved when I saw his eyes saying that he recognized his mistakes. I want to compliment him a lot."
It was not limited to Park Sung-jin. "All four of us, including (Park) Sung-jin, (Shim) Su-hyun, (Kim) Min-ah and (Kim) Jeong-eun, have given great consideration to the veteran players and made efforts. I wanted the four of us to show our fans that we worked hard for the offseason. I think we will be able to make good use of it when the season opens."메이저사이트
BNK Thumb, which used to be at the bottom of last season, was transferred by Jinan (Hana Bank), but it has built a more structured power inside and outside by recruiting Park Hye-jin and Kim Sonia. The weakening of the power of Woori Bank and Cheongju KB Stars, which were in the championship game last season, is also a good thing for other teams, including BNK Thumb.
Coach Park Jung-eun said, "Professional players should always aim to win the championship. We achieved our goal (to advance to the championship finals) in the 2022-2023 season, but we were at the bottom of the list last season. We need to build a stronger team as we start over with different colors. Young players need to grow further. I want to achieve this through this competition."
Meanwhile, Park Hye-jin is highly likely to miss the entire tournament. "I have to watch her condition more, but I don't think I can play well. If she joins the team during the season, she will be able to assemble teams in different situations. I think she can control offense, defense, tempo and rotation."
