Asan Woori Bank, the defending champion, overturned the situation of falling behind by 16 points and left only one win to the WKBL throne for the second consecutive year.

Woori Bank came from behind to win 62-57 at home against Cheongju KB in Game 3 of the 2023-24 WKBL championship at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium in Chungnam on the 28th.

While the ace, Kim Dan-bi, was in charge of Park Ji-soo's defense, she recorded 21 points, six assists, and three steals. The eldest sister, Park Hye-jin, showed a double-double performance with 14 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, including an upset three-point buzzer beater. It is the first time that Park Hye-jin has scored a double-digit score in the championship match. It is also the most assists for individuals in rebounding. Choi Lee Sam also played his part as a veteran by scoring 10 points.

Woori, which had one win and one loss in enemy territory, returned to its home turf and immediately added one win, has a chance to end its championship game at its home turf with a total of two wins and one loss in the series. Game 4 will take place at the same venue on Saturday. If Woori loses, it will move to Cheongju Gymnasium in North Chungcheong Province, where KB is based, for the final match.

In the past championship matches, 10 out of 11 teams won in the third round with one win and one loss. In terms of probability, it is 90.9%. Woori also had a good memory of winning its second championship title with one win and one loss against KB in 2015, and ultimately won the title with three wins and one loss.

KB, which sought to return to the top in two years but is on the brink of winning its third championship after winning two consecutive games. Park Ji-soo garnered 16 points and 18 rebounds to increase the double-double record in consecutive championship games to 10 games and the record number of double-double records in championship games to 15 games, but it faded due to the team's defeat. The 16 points mark Park's minimum score in this season's playoff (Bucheon Hana One Q) and championship games.

Woori Bank, which inflated its dream to win its 12th championship, had a hard time as it failed to display an outburst in the first half. It tied Park Ji-soo to two points in the first quarter and four points in the second quarter, but failed to properly attack KB's defense, which was ahead of Park's height, from the outside. He made only two three-point shots in the first quarter, and made all three failed attempts in the second quarter.

After trailing 13-15 in the first quarter, Woori only added two more points before 2:15 before the end of the second quarter to pull it to 15-31. The 16-point gap is the largest among championship games. KB had a 10-point lead in the first round and KB had a 7-point lead in the second round.

Woori, which tried its best to narrow the gap to 23-35 at the end of the second quarter, reorganized its lineup at halftime and scored 25 points in the third quarter to reverse the trend. It accumulated scores by frequently shooting mid-range shots instead of under and outside the basket. It also took advantage of KB's lack of concentration in defense and shot four outsider shots. In the end, Woori tied the game 45-45, and Park Hye-jin, who was assisted by Kim Dan-bi two seconds before the end of the third quarter, made a come-from-behind victory by splitting the rim.

In the fourth quarter, Kim Dan-bi and Park Ji-soo scored eight points apiece, creating a fierce competition among the ace players. However, Kim Dan-bi shone at the moment of crisis. When Woori was trailing 54-53 at the end of the fourth quarter, it scored two points to widen the gap, and when Woori was trailing 56-54 with 2:26 left before the end of the fourth quarter, it intercepted a pass heading for Park Ji-soo and cut off KB's attack. Then, Woori helped Choi E-Sam with a three-pointer 1 minute and 32 seconds before the end of the game, and Woori was able to run 59-54. Kim also hit a mid-range shot 35 seconds before the end of the game to seal the victory.
