Korea, led by coach Jeong Seon-min, lost 58-81 to Japan in the semifinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 3rd.

Although there was a large difference in scores, the difference in skill between the two countries seemed large in terms of the content of the game. 카지노사이트

Japan, which won a silver medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics,

dispatched 7 out of 12 national team members to this tournament.

The organization was solid as we had been working together for a long time,

the process of executing the attack clicked together like a cogwheel.

In addition, we threw 32 3-point shots and hit 14 of them, recording a success rate of 44%,

so we were completely defeated without being able to use our strength once.

Korea (14) made twice as many mistakes as Japan (7).

Coach Jeong Seon-min said in an interview after the game,

“I feel embarrassed to give an overall review of the game because I felt like we lost without even doing anything.

It was a complete defeat, including physical strength.”

On the 5th, South Korea will face North Korea in a 3rd-4th place match for the bronze medal.

South Korea met North Korea once in the group stage of this tournament and won 81-62.

However, it was impressive that Park Jin-ah, North Korea’s 205cm tall center,

played a big role, scoring 29 points and 17 rebounds.

Coach Jeong said, “North Korea is a team that plays basketball with Park Jin-ah’s power,” and added,

“In the end, how to stop that player is important.

Instead of leaving it to Park Ji-soo alone, the quick offense and defense transition from defense to offense,

including interceptions derived from assisting defense as a whole, is important.”

“This is important,” he said.
