The 2023-2024 women's professional basketball championship match has been confirmed. Without the "sub-team rebellion," the No. 1 team in the regular league, KB, and Woori Bank, the "defending champion," will face off.
On the 13th, KB easily ended the semifinal playoff (best of five) with three consecutive wins against Bucheon Hana One-Q, fourth place in the regular league. Second place Woori Bank gave third place Yongin Samsung Life Insurance a first-round victory, but won three consecutive games after that, confirming its advance to the championship game on the 16th.
Like the playoffs, the championship match, which will be held in the best-of-five series, will be held every other day starting with the first game at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 24th. It is the fourth time in the past 10 years that the two teams will meet in the championship match in two seasons. In the 2021-2022 season, KB won the championship with three consecutive wins, and Woori Bank won the crown in the 2014-2015 season and the 2017-2018 season.
KB won the title for the first time in two years in this season's regular league thanks to "national treasure center" Park Ji-soo's full recovery from panic disorder and injury. Park swept the MVP in the first to fifth rounds out of the six rounds this season, and also won the All-Star MVP award. Most of the major individual rankings, including scoring, catching a bounce, and shooting block shots, were also Park's. Park never stopped performing as he recorded "double double" in all of the first and third rounds of the playoffs. Kang Yi-seul, who had five 3-pointers in the third round of the playoffs, and Heo Ye, who recently ended a long slump, raise expectations for a unified victory in two years.
Woori Bank, the defending champion, is seeking to win its 12th championship game, the most ever. In addition to "Ace" forward Kim Dan-bi, who led the regular league and championship game last season and was named the combined best player, Park Ji-hyun, who was named the best player in the sixth round by a unanimous vote of reporters, can avenge her second consecutive year of victory as well as her 0-3 defeat by KB in the championship game two years ago.
This season's regular league record is 4 wins and 2 losses, ahead of KB. However, the sixth round match won by Woori Bank was held after KB won the regular league, and on the contrary, the third and fourth rounds won by KB were played without Woori Bank Park Hye-jin due to injury.
This season, KB won all 17 games in its home games in the regular league and playoffs. With three of the five championship games being held at home to the top-ranked KB in the regular league, Woori Bank must win at least one game at KB's home to keep its championship title.
