No medal" in 17 years
The Korean men's basketball team is disappointed after losing.
Korean basketball was blocked by the Great Wall and finished the tournament with "no medal."
The South Korean men's basketball team, led by head coach Chu Il-seung, lost 70-84 to China in the men's basketball quarterfinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium in China on the 3rd.
As a result, South Korea failed to advance to the semifinals and failed to win a medal by falling behind to the 5th to 8th place match. It is the first time in 17 years that the men's basketball team has not won a medal at the Asian Games since the 2006 Doha Games (fourth place).
It was a foretold disaster. Song Kyo-chang (Sangmu) and Moon Sung-gon (Suwon KT) were excluded from the entry due to injuries just before the tournament, while Byun Joon-hyung (Sangmu) and Yang Hong-seok (Changwon LG) joined as substitutes in a hurry just before the tournament.
The support of the Korea Basketball Association (KBA) was also not properly provided. While other countries prepared for the tournament early, South Korea practiced a few times with domestic professional teams in Korea without a proper warm-up match before leaving for Japan for off-season training less than two weeks before the tournament opened.
Even during off-season training in Fukushima, Japan, there were voices of concern about the health and safety of the team following the discharge of contaminated water from nuclear power plants.
The Korean national basketball team, which has had various controversies, eventually failed to show competitiveness on the Asian stage. On the 30th of last month, he failed to advance to the quarterfinals by losing in the final group match against Japan, which consists of second-tier players, and eventually lost to China and missed the opportunity to win a medal.
Ra Gun-ah (Busan KCC) scored 14 points and Yang Hong-seok scored 13 points, but failed to prevent the defeat. He was also pushed to 36-44 in the rebound fight, and the success rate of three-point shots was only 28%.

South Korea did well against China until about seven minutes in the first quarter. Yang Hong-seok, Kim Jong-kyu (Wonju DB), and Kim Sun-hyung (Seoul SK) scored one by one, facing a tight race of 13-15. However, he allowed a series of goals at the end of the first quarter, falling behind to 13-20.
At the beginning of the second quarter, South Korea failed to score, while Humming Xuan added five points, including a three-point shot, and Wang Jerin even scored a dunk shot, widening the gap to 13-27 and 14 points.
South Korea fought back with Ra Gun-ah's under-the-goal shot and Byun Joon-hyung even scored South Korea's first three-point shot, but China used its height to target South Korea under the basket. The first half was 30-50.
In the third quarter, Yang Hong-seok, Ha Yoon-ki (Suwon KT), and Jeon Sung-hyun (Goyang Sono), who had a low sense of shot, also scored a three-point shot.
However, the gap with China has rarely narrowed. As it widened to 45 to 66 in the third quarter, it was virtually defeated. In the end, the flow did not change in the fourth quarter. In fact, when the victory or defeat was decided, China arranged physical strength without all the main members. Korea scored at the end of the game, but failed to change the result.
