The momentum of veteran forward Kim Dan-bi (33, Woori Bank) is unusual. The Korea Women’s Basketball League (WKBL) announced on the 30th that “As a result of the Shinhan Bank SOL (Sol) 2022-2023 season women’s professional 메이저사이트 basketball round 4 best player (MVP) vote, Kim Dan-bi took first place.” It dominated 72 out of 86 votes cast by reporters from the press. Park Ji-hyeon (Woori Bank) and Lee So-hee (BNK), who each received 5 votes, were outperformed by a large margin. Danbi Kim will receive a prize money of 2 million won and an injury (50 Mediheal square pads).
This is somewhat foreseeable. The gorgeous report card speaks for itself. He played an average of 36 minutes and 47 seconds in 5 games in the 4th round, recording 21.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists. During this period, he marked first place in scoring, blocked shots (2.0), and contribution (204.55). In the match against Samsung Life Insurance on the 26th of last month, he even achieved his 7th triple-double (22 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists) in his personal career. Thanks to Danbi Kim’s performance, Woori Bank recorded 4 wins and 1 loss in the 4th round, firmly keeping the highest spot on the leaderboard.
This season alone, it is already the third round MVP award. In the last 1 and 2 rounds, he has been recognized for his hot performance. In total, he was tied for second place with Shin Jeong-ja (retired) for the 12th time. Park Ji-soo of Kookmin Bank holds the first place in this category. He was selected 13 times. After finishing last season, Kim Dan-bi, who obtained qualification as a free agent (FA), transferred to Woori Bank and established herself as a new ace.
Guard Shin Iseul (23, Samsung Life Insurance) had the first MIP in his life. He won a total of 21 of the 34 votes cast by the press corps. Kim Ye-jin (Hana One Q, 5 votes) and Lee Myeong-gwan (Samsung Life Insurance, 3 votes) were easily defeated. In the WKBL referee and game operation staff vote, it won 21 out of 34 votes. Shin Iseul drew attention by posting an average of 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 5 games in the 4th round. Prize money of 1 million won and prizes (50 Mediheal square pads) are given.
