At the Asian Basketball Championships under the age of 18, our national team reached the final by defeating China for the first time in 18 years.
It was a thrilling comeback victory that overturned the 19-point lead.
This is reporter Bae Jung-hoon.
<Reporter> The
national team struggled with high-altitude basketball in China, whose average height is more than 6cm taller than ours.
Hansun Yang, 2m 16cm, and Liu Jia, 2m 6cm tall, gave up the bottom of the goal, so they were pushed back by 19 points at one time.
But I didn't give up.
He was pushed down by a tough defense and blocked his opponent's passes one after another while spilling nosebleeds.
He narrowed the score with a cool three-point shot and a thrilling one-handed dunk, but succeeded in turning over in the middle of the fourth quarter.
After that, the end of the stifling match was taken by Kang Seong-wook, the son of former director Kang Dong-hee.
With about two minutes left in the end, he put in a three-point shot and turned it 84 to 82, and 4 seconds before the end, he hit a wedge with a quick attack.
The national team, who won by 89 to 85, by 4 points, blew the whistle at the end of the game, and lay on the court in joy and shed tears of emotion.
Our national team, which has crossed the Great Wall for the first time in 18 years following a one-point comeback victory over Iran, will challenge Japan for the first time in 22 years tomorrow (28th).
