In the women’s professional basketball Asan Woori Bank came from behind to win against Cheongju KB Kookmin Bank in the first game of the championship game.

Woori Bank won 68-62 over KB Kookmin Bank in the first game of the Woori Bank Woori WON 2023-2024 Women’s Professional Basketball Championship (best of 5 matches) held at Cheongju Gymnasium on the afternoon of the 24th.

Woori Bank, ranked second in the regular league this season, is attempting to win the team’s 12th championship. At the same time, they are aiming for their 11th combined championship.

The team that wins the first round of the championship game has a 71.9% chance of winning.

In addition, in the championship match against KB Kookmin Bank, they continued their lead with 7 wins and 4 losses.

On the other hand, KB Kookmin Bank, ranked first in the regular league and attempting to win the club’s third overall championship, got off to an uneasy start by losing the first game.

They also aimed to become the first WKBL team to win every home game in a season, but with the loss on this day, their home winning streak stopped at 17 wins.

In particular, Park Ji-soo recorded 16 rebounds and set the record for the most double-doubles in a championship game ever (Jeong Seon-min’s 13) with 8 consecutive double-doubles in the championship game, but the shine was fading.

Woori Bank, which entered the final fourth quarter trailing 46-53, began to chase after Na Yun-jeong and Choi I-sam’s outside shots.

Woori Bank tied the score at 60-60 with Na Yun-jeong’s 2-point shot from the paint zone, and after blocking KB Kookmin Bank’s attack, Na Yun-jeong’s 3-point shot from a fast break opportunity with 1 minute and 26 seconds left in the game succeeded in turning the score around 63-60.

Ji-Hyun Park then scored one of two free throws to get away with one more point.

Woori Bank, which gave up a chasing goal to Park Ji-soo, had an opportunity to attack with Go Ara’s defensive rebound, and with 15.9 seconds left in the game, Park Ji-hyun succeeded in both free throws to drive home the goal.

Meanwhile, on this day, Cheongju Gymnasium was sold out with 2,889 spectators attending. This is the second match between the two teams on December 25 last year.
