Shinhan that failed to advance to the playoffs last season has been agile in the offseason. It recruited Shin Eul and Choi Yi-sam in the free agent market and also brought in Jihyun Shin. It also recruited Rika Tanimura to strengthen its base under the basket. It picked versatile forward Hong Yu-soon as No. 1 overall pick in the rookie draft.

While all five key players have been replaced, however, the team has not had enough time to practice as a whole due to Jihyun Shin’s transfer to the national team and rehabilitation of Choi Yi-sam and Rika. Through the Park Shin-ja Cup, the team has started to properly engage in teamwork. Manager Guna-dan of Shinhan Bank, who was struggling to elevate the full capacity of the team, deployed Lee Kyung-eun, Kang Gye-ri and Kim Ji-young to conduct tests from various angles, including operation of the three guard. Rika only recently started practicing in the team.토토사이트 모음

“(Shin) Ji-hyun and (Kim) Jin-young played in the national team, and (Choi) Lee Sam also had poor team training due to injury,” Koo said. “Hong Yu-soon joined the team for the first time at the Park Shin-ja Cup,” adding, “Now it’s time to adjust the team’s chemistry. The challenge is to raise the team’s chemistry. We are training well by recruiting players who meet the concept we want, but our team chemistry should come out of the court. If that homework goes well, we will be well prepared until the opening of the season.”
