A rookie born in 2006 who hasn't even graduated high school yet.

The youngest, Lee Min-ji, was quite nervous with the coach's tactical instructions, but she was different on the court.

In the second quarter, with Hana Bank trailing by five points, Lee confidently sank three consecutive three-pointers.

In the third quarter, she made quick drives reminiscent of ace Kim Dan-bi, penetrating the paint, and her third three-pointer in the final fourth quarter was also accurate.

With a personal best of 15 points, she has continued to score double digits for three consecutive games, leading Woori Bank to its third straight win.

Despite Coach We Sung-woo's scolding for defensive mistakes, Lee Min-ji was bold on the court, but in her first interview, she reverted to the appearance of a young student.

While Woori Bank has risen to a tie for first place with BNK, Hana Bank remains at the bottom with six consecutive losses.
