However, she was full of confidence, perhaps thanks to her experience of beating Japan in an international competition. Na Yoon-jung introduced that she had beaten Japan in 12 years in an international competition with the under-18 national team. She added, “The lack of an orthodox center on the Rising All-Star team is seen as a weakness, but I think it’s a game worth playing because the tall players have good mobility and can dribble.”
