The Korean men's basketball team, aiming to reclaim the Asian top at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, was unable to train because a shuttle bus did not arrive ahead of the final against host nation Japan on the 20th. Before the final, the team planned to warm up by practicing shooting and other activities at a separate gymnasium in the morning, but the vehicle assigned to arrive at 10 a.m. did not show up without any explanation, and in the end, the team had no choice but to cancel the planned training. Still, the men's basketball team defeated Japan 67-57 in the final, claiming their first championship at the 1970 Bangkok tournament, and after winning the 1982 New Delhi, 2002 Busan, and 2014 Incheon tournaments, they claimed victory at the Asian Games for the first time in 12 years. On this day, Lee Hyun-joong delivered an incredible performance that will go down in Korean basketball history. Although he was held to 5 points in the first half, he exploded with shots from the third quarter , totaling 27 points. He also grabbed 18 rebounds, recording a double-double and becoming the key to victory. He recreated the coincidence of winning this tournament every 12 years, and also brought the Korean team their fourth gold medal and the first gold medal in a ball game at this event. As can be seen from the history of Japanese athletes,,, we know that to win, they will stop at nothing,,, but this is still a bit unfair,,, On the day of the final, they prevented them from training, and even in the finals, they made biased judgments!!!!!!
