The South Korean basketball team, led by head coach Ahn Joon-ho, lost 80-88 in the second round of the warm-up match against Japan at Ariake Arena in Tokyo on the 7th (Korea time).

Korea won 85-84 in the first match against Japan. It is amazing that the team managed to catch the best Japanese team even during four days of preparation. The team lost the second match unfortunately, but had some profit.

While Byun Jun-hyung, Lee Jung-hyun, and Ha Yoon-ki shined in the first round, Yoo Ki-sang (17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block shot) and Lee Won-seok (18 points) flew in the second round. Korea has fought well even when Captain Byun Joon-hyung took rest due to injury.

Lee Jung-hyun (26 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals) also showed good performance in the second game. His performance in the first game allowed Japan to keep the team in check, but he overcame it with his performance.

However, Japan could not afford to ruin its last warm-up match and attendance ceremony in its own country before moving to Paris. Josh Hawkinson (34 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks) led by Yuki Kawamura (17 points, two rebounds, and one still), balanced the game with one win and one loss.

South Korea’s Lee Jung-hyun, Yoo Ki-sang, Lee Woo-suk, Moon Jung-hyun and Ha Yoon-ki started. For Japan, Kawamura, Hiejima Magoto, Yoshii Hirotaka, Watanabe Hu-Hawkinson started.

Unlike the first game, the Republic of Korea fought strongly from the beginning. Starting with Lee Woo-seok’s cut-in score, a thrilling three-point game in the organic field blew fire. On top of that, Lee Won-seok’s bold rim attack shone, and he was not behind at all in the power game against Japan. The first quarter was 22-19, slightly ahead.

In the second quarter, which started with Lee Won-seok’s three-point shot, but Japan’s two-on-two game centered on Kawamura and Hawkinson was hard to stop. South Korea continued its lead by scoring consecutive points by Moon Jung-hyun starting with Lee Jung-hyun’s three-point shot. However, Kawamura failed to control and eventually lost the flow.

Korea allowed Kawamura’s jumper and Hiejima’s “And One,” but failed to find another offensive route other than organic three-point shots. The team ended up losing the first half to 39-43.

From the second half, Japan’s offensive intensified. And the Republic of Korea was shaken greatly. The 2-2 game between Kawamura and Hawkinson was powerful. On top of that, Kawamura directly scored, widening the gap to double digits.

Korea had no offensive route other than organic three-point shooting. Lee Jung-hyun and Ha Yoon-ki struggled due to difficulties in fieldwork. Once the Republic of Korea was pushed to the 16th point level, it was Lee Won-seok who changed the mood. He targeted Japan, which was mired in team fouls in the early hours, and narrowed the gap by garnering bold breakthrough and free throws. Korea ended the third quarter by narrowing the gap to 57-68 and 11-point.

The Republic of Korea changed course from the second half of the third quarter. Lee Jung-hyun’s three-point shot opened the scoring at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Afterwards, Watanabe and Hawkinson were given the bottom of the net in succession, and Tominaga’s three-point shots continued, falling behind 60-75 again. However, Lee’s three-point shot marked the third consecutive attack, narrowing the gap between 69-78 and nine points.

Korea trailed by 77-83, six points, following organic breakthroughs and 3-pointers by Moon Jung-hyun and Lee Jung-hyun. However, the team lost to Lee Won-seok’s foul play and Hawkinson’s rim attack, ultimately moving away from the victory. Korea did its best until the end, with only one win and one loss in the two away warm-up matches.
