When Kim Dan-bi flew, he escaped losing consecutive games...Women's Basketball Woori Bank reignites lead fight

When ace Kim Dan-bi (35, Asan Woori Bank) was revived, the team also revived. Woori Bank, which broke its losing streak, has rekindled its battle to lead the women's professional basketball.
Kim played in a home game against Cheongju KB Stars at Asan Ipsin Gymnasium on Tuesday, and scored 22 points and 19 rebounds to lead his team's 53-49 victory. His 19 rebounds are the most in a game.
Woori Bank (11-6), ranked second after losing two consecutive games, trailed the leader Busan BNK (13-4) by two games.
Kim Dan-bi's share of Woori Bank this season is "absolute."
Woori Bank, the "defending champion," left a large number of its main players ahead of this season, with Park Ji-hyun moving overseas, and free agents Choi Yi-sam and Park Hye-jin moving to Incheon Shinhan Bank and BNK, respectively.
Kim Dan-bi, who played as a "winning contractor" for two consecutive years after moving to Woori Bank, has become more responsible.
Even with his weakened team strength, Kim struggled. Despite strong check against him, he did not give in and took on mischievous tasks. His value shone as he was named MVP in the first and second rounds in a row.
However, he soon got sick. He complained of elbow pain at the end of the first half. As Kim Dan-bi, the core of his team's strength, slowed down, Woori Bank also faltered. In the last game of the first half and the match against Shinhan Bank that was without Kim, Woori lost the first quarter by posting a scoreless record for the first time since the launch of the WKBL.
Kim Dan-bi returned to the match against Samsung Life Insurance in Yongin on the 4th, the first game of the new year, but failed to show his form by scoring no goals in the first half, leading to his first consecutive defeat of the season. 토토사이트
Ultimately, Woori Bank's troubleshooter was Kim Dan-bi. Despite the injury, Woori revived against KB Stars and pulled Woori out of the quagmire.
Woori Bank, which has broken its losing streak, will now meet BNK, which is competing for the lead. It will face off at home for the fourth time this season on the 12th. In the previous three games, Woori Bank was pushed back to 1 win and 2 losses.
Kim Dan-bi also showed strong performance against BNK. He scored an average of 27 points and garnered 9.7 rebounds in three games. In both the first and second games, he displayed explosive power by scoring more than 30 points.
In order to win, Kim Dan-bi's performance is essential. It is not a good assessment to be highly dependent enough to be called the "Kim Dan-bi One-man Team," but Woori Bank, which has a large difference in performance depending on its existence, cannot devise strategies without Kim Dan-bi. The fact that there are three days of rest before the game is a good thing for both Kim Dan-bi and the team, who are not in good physical condition.
