Hana Bank and Yang In-young Trapped in Tunnel of 'Fourth consecutive defeat'

Yang In-young (184cm, F) failed to make the tunnel.

Bucheon Hana Bank lost 59-71 to Cheongju KB in the regular league of Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball held at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 17th. It has lost four consecutive games. It is the lowest with 5 wins and 15 losses. It is also two games away from KB, which is ranked fifth.

Yang In-young acquired a free agent (FA) after the end of the 2023-2024 season. The 2nd FA, which can be negotiated with all clubs, remained at Hana Bank despite this. He re-signed with Hana Bank on the condition that the company has a "contract period of three years" and a "2024-2025 salary total of KRW 300 million (annual salary: KRW 280 million, allowance: KRW 20 million).

Jihyun Shin (174cm, G) left, but Jinan (181cm, C) joined Hana Bank. Because of this, Hana Bank has a front-coat triangle formation called "Kim Jeong-eun-Jinan-Yang In-young." Yang In-young's burden may be reduced.

However, Kim Jong-un (180 cm, F) failed to play in the opening match due to a calf injury, and Yang In-young also left the team briefly due to a shoulder injury. He returned to the court only after the match against KB in Cheongju on Nov. 15, 2024. He is rebuilding his sense of play and physical strength.

However, Yang's performance has fluctuated. While frontcourt partner Jinan was included in the entry, Yang has to take charge of the team for a long time. So Yang has to solve another task called "pressure."

Yang moved around the tower or the free throw line. Yang, who is in charge of the control tower, looked at the shooter in the corner. In particular, she captured the players in the left corner.

Yuzuki Ishida (168 cm, G) and Park So-hee (178 cm, G) benefited. Yuzuki answered Yang's pass with a corner jumper and Park So-hee with three corner points. Thanks to this, Yang recorded three assists in the third minute and 27 seconds of the game.
Yang was pulled out to the bench just four minutes and 21 seconds after the game started. Jinan, who was included in the team's roster, stepped up to the court instead. However, Hana Bank fell behind to 9-16 with 4:22 left before the end of the first quarter. Hana Bank coach Kim Do-wan used the first timeout three minutes and 36 seconds before the end of the first quarter.

Nevertheless, Hana Bank was pushed back by a double-digit margin (9-19). Yang put out the urgent need with a 2-2 under-the-goal attack. Afterwards, she overcame a miss match with Heo Ye-eun (165 cm, G) through block shooting.

Yang made bold moves near the KB rim. He had a layup after breaking through 47 seconds before the end of the first quarter. He narrowed the gap with KB to 17-22.


Kim Si-on (175 cm, G) scored three points to chase, and Yang In-young succeeded in tying the jumper (22-22) with the base line pattern. He then formed a triple post (Kim Jong-un, Yang In-young, Jin-an or Kim Jong-un, Yang In-young and Kim Ha-na) from 2:33 of the start of the second quarter.

Hana Bank used double and triple posts alternately, and Yang In-young moved according to her position. She garnered a foul free throw three minutes and 55 seconds before the end of the second quarter. Two free throws kept Hana ahead 30-28.

Yang continued to struggle under the basket. He also garnered free throws two minutes and 14 seconds before the end of the second quarter. But he failed in both free throws. He lost good rhythm. Hana Bank also finished the first half 32-36.

Yang came back to the court right after the start of the third quarter. However, Hana Bank, including Yang, did not perform very well. It was 36-44 just 2:22 into the third quarter.

However, Hana Bank's bench set up another triple post, and Yang In-young was positioned at Jinan and High Post. KB's defense focused on Double Post. 먹튀검증

Kim and Kim made good use of it. The two players combined for six points by shooting from outside the three-point line. Thanks to this, Hana Bank tied the game (44-44) at 4:50 of the beginning of the third quarter.

However, Yang's influence was not significant. Yang's specialty, a mid-range jumper, turned away from the rim. Yang approached near the rim of Hana Bank, but Yang's under-the-goal attack was also blocked by KB's defense. As Yang missed several chances to attack, Hana Bank's rise was also limited.

However, Yang did not let go of his fighting power. Immediately before the end of the third quarter, Yang garnered a free throw for foul by hitting an offensive rebound and a putback. He made one of his two free throws. He narrowed the gap with KB to 49-53.

However, Yang rarely caught the ball. Triple Post also lost power. Hana Bank, which lost strength, fell to 52-58 in the first minute and 55 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Hana Bank coach Kim Do-wan used his second timeout in the second half. However, Hana Bank players, including Yang In-young, failed to secure turning points. Eventually, Yang was trapped in the tunnel of "four consecutive losses." Yang finished the match against KB with 11 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block shot.
