The Tokyo Paralympics, the men's wheelchair basketball semi-finals, Japan vs. England have begun.
We will keep you updated on the game that started before 9 pm.
Japan advances to the first semi-final
Japan, who passed the qualifying league in 2nd place in the group with 4 wins and 1 loss, played against Australia in the quarterfinals on the 1st and won 61 to 55, and Japan decided to advance to the semifinals for the first time in this event.
England won the bronze medal at the last Rio de Janeiro Games.
It will be interesting to see if Japan, which has advanced to the semi-finals for the first time, can develop "transition basketball" that quickly switches between the offense and defense that it has strengthened against strong opponents.
