Following her silver medal in Jakarta and bronze in Hangzhou, Kang Lee-sul pulled out three shiny medals, adding the gold from Nagoya.

[Jeon Joo-won / Head Coach, Woori Bank: Is it really gold?]

[Kang Lee-sul / Forward, Woori Bank: You have a gold medal too, Coach.]

[Jeon Joo-won / Head Coach, Woori Bank: Hey, did you guys bite your medals?]

[Kang Lee-sul / Forward, Woori Bank: Ha-ran chipped hers (biting the medal), so I didn't bite mine.]

[Jeon Joo-won / Head Coach, Woori Bank: Really?]

Having transferred to Woori Bank last May following active recruitment by coach Jeon Joo-won, Kang Lee-sul completed the gold-silver-bronze puzzle by defeating Japan in Nagoya, just like her mentor who beat Japan to win gold in Hiroshima 32 years ago.

[Jeon Joo-won / Head Coach, Woori Bank: I jokingly said you're doing well because you came to Woori Bank haha]

[Kang Lee-sul / Forward, Woori Bank: I will try my best to follow in the footsteps of our coach.]

In the semifinals against China, her 3-point shots, which had been quiet, exploded in the fourth quarter to lead a come-from-behind victory, and there was a strange coincidence behind it.

[Kang Lee-sul / Basketball Team Captain (September 26): The moment the coach turned on the TV game during the China match, I made a shot. She said I've been doing well ever since.]

[Jeon Joo-won / Head Coach, Woori Bank: (Lee-sul) told me, "Coach, you can't go anywhere during the Japan game (final)..." So I said okay, I will watch TV from start to finish.]

The mentor who wrote the myth of reaching the semifinals at the Olympics and World Championships, and the disciple dreaming of a renaissance for South Korean women's basketball,

[Kang Lee-sul / Forward, Woori Bank: A true boom in women's basketball is coming, and since the stepping stone has been laid, I will try to guide the younger players well and follow in the coach's footsteps.]

They joined their voices in vowing to carry this golden energy over to Woori Bank's championship victory.

[Kang Lee-sul / Forward, Woori Bank: Since I've brought all the good energy back, I hope to become the championship solver for Woori Bank.]

[Jeon Joo-won / Head Coach, Woori Bank: With this golden energy]

[Kang Lee-sul / Forward, Woori Bank: Let's go!]
