Kim Na-yeon is practicing 500 early-morning shots that Kang Yoo-rim had a good effect on last season.
Yongin Samsung Life Insurance is in the midst of training in Taebaek, Gangwon-do. From the 12th to the 22nd, Taebaek field training is digested. Excluding Lee Hae-ran, who was called to the women’s basketball team, Yoon Ye-bin, Lee Joo-yeon, and Bae Hye-yoon, who are in rehabilitation, and Kiana Smith, who is still in the United States, the team is sweating. Kim Na-yeon, who suffered from injuries, is also focusing on her training.
In the 2017-2018 WKBL New Player Selection, Kim Na-yeon, who wore a Samsung Life Insurance uniform in the 2nd round of the 2nd round, played 4 seasons, but played only 47 games in total. In 2021 she suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, and in 2022 she suffered a hamstring injury that prevented her from having a full season. She’s been training fit and now she’s focusing her all-out efforts on her step-up and injury prevention.
Kim Na-yeon said, “It’s still off-season, so I’m not very excited, but I feel like it’s the beginning of her coming to Taebaek. When she rode the mountain last year, it was her comeback season, so she got in the car and ran from the middle. So it was less difficult for her. This time, her course was also changed, and it was really hard because it was her first time running a long course (laughs). Thoughts of wanting to give up ran through her head, but she only aimed to finish and ran,” she said of her field training in Taebaek.
When asked how she is currently feeling, she said, “Last time I was hurt, I was fine. It takes a little bit for her knee surgery, but I think I have to carry on with this much. She doesn’t care much,” she replied.먹튀검증
“People around me ask if I should be greedy for this season. But when I was greedy and got hurt again, it was a joke. My goal last season was not to get hurt, but I got hurt. I try to do it comfortably because I know that no matter what I try, I can’t do it if I have an injury.”
Kang Yu-rim of the same team came out on the court every morning ahead of last season and threw 500 shots. Kang Yoo-rim’s training, which wanted to grow, returned as a result of ‘storm growth’. Even if he just looked at the points scored, he rose significantly from 7.9 points in the 2021-2022 season to 12.8 points in the 2022-2023 season. Kang Yoo-rim, who voluntarily shoots this offseason, also joined Kim Na-yeon.
Kim Na-yeon said, “I want to show a better image than last season. I want to improve my shooting ability, so I shoot with (Kang) Yu-rim unnie every morning. I’m trying to shoot 500, but I don’t have much time. I shoot whenever I have time. Since it’s Taebaek now, I plan to increase my stamina and go.”
