'Basketball Master' Yongin Samsung Life has returned to the throne in the women's professional basketball championship match after 15 years.
Samsung Life, led by manager Im Geun-bae, defeated Cheongju KB 74-57 in the final 5th round of the KB Kookmin Bank Liiv M 2020-2021 Women's Professional Basketball Championships Championships held at Yongin Gymnasium, Gyeonggi-do on the 15th.
Samsung Life, who reached the top with 3 wins and 2 losses, regained the women's basketball supremacy in 14 years and 8 months after the summer league in July 2006.
This is the first time Samsung Life has won the championship match by the 4th place team in the women's professional basketball, which was launched in 1998.
In addition, Samsung Life has set a record of winning the first championship match for teams with less than 50% win rate in the regular league (14-16 losses).
KB, the 2nd place in the regular league, played the first and second matches of the championship with Ji-soo Park, the best player in the regular league, and won the 3rd and 4th games to lead the match to the last 5th leg, but in the end remained runner-up.
