In fact, Yoon Ye-bin (27) of Samsung Life Insurance has finally made his debut in the national team.
Yoon Ye-bin was put on the court with about five minutes left before the end of the first quarter in a practice game against the Seodaemun-gu Office women's basketball team at the Samsung Training Center (STC) in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, Samsung Life Insurance's clubhouse, on the 10th.
Initially, Yoon was not expected to play on the day. He had no plan, and his ankle was not in good condition the previous day. However, the game was set up for Yoon even before the off-season training in Japan in September, and since it was the last game against an unemployed team before the opening of the season, he expressed his will to play, and ended up playing.
Yoon displayed cautious movements as if his physical condition had not fully improved yet, but showed active participation in rebounds and screens. In the second half of the first quarter, he also made a three-point shot and posted a stat in offense.
As Yoon was not in perfect condition, he played icing after the first half and left the game. He played for a total of 10 minutes on the day, scoring three points and five rebounds. "I can't tell you about my performance because it's not a combination that I tried to match, and I didn't play fourth or fifth position, but I got the wrong pattern because I was on the top," Yoon told Star News after the game. "I'm glad. I'm satisfied with my safe driving."
Yoon Ye-bin, who is 180cm tall as a guard, showed off his outstanding defense after joining Samsung Life Insurance and played a role in pressing the opponent from the front. Amid this performance, the team won the championship match in the 2020-21 season and participated in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, drawing a lot of expectations.
Yoon, who injured his left knee cruciate ligament while playing for the Korean national team ahead of the 2022-2023 season, lost the entire season. He already suffered the same injury twice in his right knee in the past, adding to his frustration.
Since then, he has accelerated his return by playing court training ahead of last season, and returned to the real game after 611 days in a home game against Shinhan Bank on November 26 last year. However, his physical condition did not return to perfection, and he eventually resumed rehabilitation after playing in four games against KB Stars on December 9 of the same year.
With the opening of the season less than a month away, Yoon is sending a positive signal. "Unlike last season, we started team training early in the off-season, so I think we are better prepared than last year," he said. Currently, he is adapting himself to the court by training in a 5:5 team, and has also taken part in actual matches.
He has yet to regain 100 percent of his physical condition. "His knees cannot be perfect. He can be swollen to a certain extent," Yoon said. "I can keep up with his team's training. They are very considerate of me, so if I am in a bad condition, I have no choice but to take a rest." "My right knee is worse, but my left knee is also injured, so my balance is similar," he joked.
Yoon Ye-bin gained a lot of strength from her colleagues while having a hard time. "(Bae) Hye-yoon is also having a hard time, so I'm helping each other by saying, 'Let's cheer up each other,'" he said. Also, looking at Kim Ah-reum, who is also rehabilitating after a knee injury, he said, "I'm rehabilitating in a Spartan way, and I'm learning by following my sister because I have so much exercise."
Will Yoon be able to play in the opening match (against BNK on June 30)? "It would be great if I could play, but I have to play accordingly," he said. This was because of lessons learned from last year. Having failed to play in the 2023-24 season, Yoon returned to the team despite his poor physical condition due to impatience, and had to play with anxiety. "This time, he (the team) looked far away and waited according to his condition, so I tried to repay him accordingly," he said.
This season, the WKBL is expected to have a "Spring and Autumn Warring States Period" without overwhelming strong teams. Against this backdrop, Samsung Life Insurance, which has good depth, can also be expected to do well. Yoon Ye-bin said, "I'm not always a candidate for the championship, so it's a burden, but I'm sure there's a possibility, so I'm aiming for it." As a member of the 2020-21 season, he said, "I miss it so much because I tasted the championship." 메이저놀이터
"I wonder if I can be a favorite," Yoon said. "I don't want to be greedy and want to do it in the part that can help the team as much as possible. I can't be mistaken because I'm not what I used to be," he said, expressing his determination to start this season.
