The best stars of women’s professional basketball gathered in one place. The match was put down for a while. They thoroughly enjoyed the festival with fans who filled the gym. Pink Star Jin An (27) won the MVP award.
A total of 20 WKBL stars played at the Shinhan Bank SOL 2022-2023 Women’s Professional Basketball All-Star Festival held at Dowon Gymnasium in Incheon on the 8th, divided into Pink Star and Blue Star. All-Star Game held for the first time in three years. In terms of the number of days, it has been 1092 days. The game was won by Pink Star 98-92. Jinan became the MVP, and Kang Iseul became the main character of the most scoring award. Jinan even won the best performance award.
For the past two years, the All-Star Game has not been held due to the corona crisis. It was held for the first time in three years, and fans’ expectations exploded. 1451 seats at the Dowon Gymnasium were sold out early, and 1622 seats were sold out including on-site sales. It has been sold out for the first time in 7 years since the Dangjin All-Star Game in the 2015-2016 season.
As always, in the All-Star Game, winning or losing is meaningless. It is a place of festival. It was exciting from the start. After entering one by one, they climbed onto the podium installed in the center of the stage and performed a dance. There were some shy players, but Sonia Kim and others made the fans cheer by showing off a high-quality dance performance.
The match has begun. After the game started, when Kim Dan-bi caught the ball, ‘My Hometown’ came out. Danbi Kim made a vague expression. He was a franchise star of Shinhan Bank, and the hometown of Shinhan Bank is Incheon. Now, as a member of Woori Bank, he came to the All-Star game held at his parents’ home. It was a kind of welcome performance.
The players focused on performance rather than scoring. After scoring, various ceremonies came out. After making a successful 3-point shot, Pink Star Kang Iseul performed a ceremony similar to that of Shin Ji-hyun and Son Heung-min and Dele Alli during Tottenham days. Kim Dan-bi also showed off the same ceremony as Kang Dew-seul after inserting the outer cannon.
Jinan also had a pleasant battle of nerves with Kim Dan-bi, saying, ‘You are lower than me’. Sonia Kim exclaimed with her rhythmic dribbling. Yoo Seung-hee also showed off her talent to the fullest by performing various ceremonies. Kim Han-byeol attacked and put both enemies and allies on the floor, and then managed to score.
In the middle of the second quarter, Lee Seung-jun appeared wearing the uniform of Blue Star Bae Hye-yoon. He is the husband of Pink Star Sonia Kim. Sonia Kim hurriedly tried to block her entry into the court, but it couldn’t be done. The couple played one-on-one, and Lee Seung-jun was replaced after scoring two points. This was counted as Bae Hye-yoon’s score.
At halftime, there was a dance performance prepared by the players. Blue Star showed the girls’ tomboy, and Pink Star showed Psy’s That That. Afterwards, everyone performed New Jeans’ Hype boy. After that, a congratulatory performance by girl group Oh My Girl followed.
In the third quarter, the ‘Transfer Challenge’ event was held. One player from each team was replaced. Kang Iseul went to Blue Star, and Jinan changed to Pink Star uniform. We didn’t want to go, but we couldn’t help it. And as soon as Jinan transferred, she immediately succeeded in a single fast attack and cheered. The only regret was then. Kang Iseul also laughed as she hit her 3-pointers one after another. 메이저사이트
There was also time to spend with fans. The ‘Fan Challenge’ was held for 3 minutes and 4 seconds in the second quarter, and fans in the stands came out to the court and wore Pink Star uniforms. Pink Star players surrounded the fan and posed as ‘Earth Defense Force’. This fan scores with a layup.
In the 3rd quarter, a ‘quiz with fans’ event was held. For Pink Star, two fans, Seong-Woo Lee and director Guna Dan, Iseul Kang and Danbi Kim, and for Blue Star, two fans, Geun-Bae Lim and Jeong-Eun Park, and Seung-Hee Yoo and Hye-Yoon Bae participated. At Pink Star’s turn, Yoo Seung-hee’s picture appeared, but this fan didn’t recognize it twice. Then Yoo Seung-hee, who was at Blue Star, approached me and said, “Yoo Seung-hee. I will work hard,” he said, bowing at 90 degrees.
Directors’ ‘passion’ also came out. After Park Ji-hyun and Kim Dan-bi scored in the first quarter, they danced together in front of coach Seong-woo Seong-woo. Director Wi Seong-woo’s embarrassed expression is the highlight. Heo Ye-eun went to director Kim Wan-soo and threw out his fists and feet in anger. Of course it was a smiley face. Lee So-hee, Jin-an, and others danced with director Park Jung-eun.
After the third quarter, the coaches wore funny pants and cones on their heads. The way you have to find a chair in the middle of the court and sit down after running the elephant trunk 10 times at the end line. The players turned their chairs around, and the coaches were at a loss. Normally, it would be an unimaginable scene, but it was possible because it was an all-star game. The players laughed, and the fans were able to laugh too.
Entering the fourth quarter, the players also started to get a little serious. The atmosphere was still bright, but the pressure defense came out, and the steal was also actively aimed. The first foul of the game came out at 3:06 in the fourth quarter. The main character is Ahn Hye-ji.
She lost her laugh completely after two minutes. Active rebound participation, tight defense came out, and even a video review was requested. And in the end, Pink Star had the victory.
