“There’s no strong player”
Shinhan has reached the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, starting from the 2020-2021 season. Kim Dan-bi (180 cm, F), the ace, has moved to Asan Woori Bank, but Shinhan has confirmed its advance to the playoffs for the 2022-2023 season. It has made it to the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
This is why Shinhan Bank is playing in the playoffs once again. The lineup by position was not bad. Notably, the guard line was like that. Lee Kyung-eun (173 cm, G), the oldest guard, displayed a veteran-like performance. She maximized her aggressive style through seasoned game management.
In addition, Lee has been somewhat free from knee pain in all three recent seasons. A total of seven games were missed from the 2020-2021 season to the 2022-2023 season. The games that were missed were also due to doping, not health problems.
In the 2023-2024 season, he played in all 30 regular league games as well. He played 24 minutes and 41 seconds per game, and averaged 7.17 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.6 rebounds. He made efforts to ease the burden on Kim Sonia (177 centimeters, F) and Jinyoung Kim (177 centimeters, F).
However, Shinhan failed in the 2023-2024 season. It failed to make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. Lee was all the more regrettable. He was the captain of the team during the 2023-2024 season.
For that reason, Lee also expressed regret over the 2023-2024 season, saying, “It was such a shame. It was also upsetting. It was a season to grind my teeth.”
Shinhan failed the 2023-2024 season. However, it didn’t want to stay in failure. So it strengthened its power after the 2023-2024 season. As a result, Jihyun Shin (174 cm, G), Shin Isul (170 cm, G), and Choi Yi-sam (182 cm, F) joined the team.
Lee said, “Last season, I competed as a similar member as before. Practice was easy, too. Now, however, he is different. The players themselves have changed a lot. There will be problems with the formation of tactics as well as the sum among players. That is what I am worried about.”
After that, he said, “The coach will set a big frame well. And the players I thought were necessary in the team have come. That is positive. Also, even if the composition of the players has changed, we have to solve the given problems well.”
However, Shinhan remains unstable. Sonia, who had been the first option, left the team, and Byun So-jeong (180 cm tall, F), who was called the rising star, also left for Busan BNK. Kim Tae-yeon (189 cm, C), the only big man, is also uncertain in his condition. In addition, players who will join the Asian quarter are not capable enough.
Lee Kyung-eun also said, “There will be many factors, but the most important thing is the Asian quarter. Personally, I think I need a big man, but I’m sure the team is looking at players who match the color. And when Asian quarter players join, we need to have a better balance between players.”
Afterwards, he said, “Since I have been under him for a long time, I need to adapt my new players to his basketball. That is my first role. And I need to do my part, as much as I do on the court.” He focused more on what he had to do.
Lastly, he set his goal, saying, “All six clubs have changed. There seems to be no strong team. I think it is an opportunity for us. However, I think the preparation process will be important. I have to play well in the off-season to get the performance I thought of.” As there were many changes, I thought ‘a lot of preparation’ was important.
