In April, surprising news was delivered amid the offseason of the WKBL. Jihyun Shin (28, 174cm), the national team and franchise star of Bucheon Hana One Q, was named by Busan BNK Some as a compensation player for Jinan, and later joined Incheon Shinhan Bank as a follow-up trade.
Thus, the Jihyun Shin for Hana One Q is over. She wore the uniform of Hana One Q as the No. 1 player in the 2014 WKBL Rookie Player Selection Committee and spent a total of nine seasons in Bucheon. Her overall record is 255 matches, with 9.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists for an average of 25 minutes and 11 seconds. Now she is embarking on her second journey at Shinhan Bank.
Jihyun Shin said, "I heard that Coach Guandan likes my play. I think I came here with gratitude. It could have been a difficult situation, but now I'm having so much fun living my life. I can exercise the way I want, I adapt well and I'm training happily."
The transfer process was not smooth. As mentioned earlier, he joined the team through a trade after going through a reward player. It could have been regrettable for the national team and the All-Star guard.
In response, Jihyun Shin said, "Actually, I didn't feel good. I didn't know. I didn't hear anything about it, and I thought I might go then. After that, I was emptying my mind. Isn't this a professional? When I came to Shinhan Bank and lived, I thought that a transfer might be a better opportunity for me."
Shinhan Bank, which failed to advance to the playoffs by staying in fifth place (8-22) last season, is set to retool. Choi Yi-sam and Shin Yi-seul joined, but in the end, Jihyun Shin should be the center.
The Jihyun Shin said, "(Choi) Lee Sam is comfortable because she has been playing with the national team since then. (Shin) Yi-seul also has many advantages. (Laughs) I want to earn some points from her team. I think it will be important to make good use of my strengths as usual. However, I think Hana One Q Jihyun Shin and Shinhan Bank Jihyun Shin may be a little different. I think I will be able to have more fun matches as time goes by."
Kim will also be reunited with Kim Ji-young, who played for Hana One Q for the past eight years. "I feel so comfortable playing together (laughs). He plays so many roles in the court. After joining the team, I asked a lot about the progress of Shinhan Bank," Jihyun Shin said.
He changed his uniform number to start anew. The new uniform number is 7. He does not use the previous number 1.
The Jihyun Shin said, "I used number 7 in high school. After coming to the pro league, I was using number 1 somehow. I changed my team, and thought it was the second act of my basketball career, so I wanted to change it. I like number 7 again. Yoon Dae-hyeop of Slam Dunk, who was motivated since I was young, also has number 7. There were many influences."
Last season's WKBL awards ceremony was a dress worn by Park Ji-hyun (Bankstown) and Park Ji-soo (Galatasaray). 무료슬롯사이트<
The Jihyun Shin said, "If I feel like I will definitely win the award, I will wear a dress (laughs). I hope you will let me know in advance. It would not be strange for the recipient to wear it. But it was so nice to see it. I remember seeing many people wear it in other sports. I think I have to do well to wear it."
Finally, he said, "Team performance is the most important thing. Then it will shine naturally. There were also bad reviews of the team. I want to be recognized for this. I will prepare well and go to the playoffs."
