Japan’s basketball team went toe-to-toe with Australia.

Japan’s men’s national basketball team fell 89-90 to Australia in the first round of the Japan Life Cup 2024 on Wednesday at the Hokkaido Prefectural Sports Center in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. The two teams will continue with Game 2 on Wednesday.

Australia, ranked No. 5 in the FIBA, was without all of its active NBA players, including Josh Green and Josh Giddy. The Aussies also lacked a full roster of young players, with the exception of Lee’s Illawarra Hawks teammates Sam Proling and Mitch McCarron.

Nevertheless, Japan’s lineup is remarkable. Japan was led by Keisei Tominaga, the next big thing out of the University of Nebraska, who poured in 18 points, including three 3-pointers. Yuki Togashi led the way with 16 points and four assists. 바카라사이트 Naturalized center Josh Hawkinson anchored the middle with 15 points and four rebounds. Australian League veteran Baba Yudai added 11 points and eight rebounds.

Australia was led by Sam Prowling with 26 points and 10 rebounds. Mitch McCarron added three points and six assists.

Japan qualified for the Paris Olympics in both men’s and women’s basketball.

The men’s team punched their ticket to the 2023 Basketball World Cup as Asia’s No. 1 team, finishing 19th in the final rankings after defeating Finland (98-88), Venezuela (86-77) and Cape Verde (80-71).

The tournament was Japan’s qualification for the Paris Olympics. By inviting a global powerhouse to test its strength and generate box office, Japan is doing both. Japan will host South Korea for two games on July 5 and 7 in Tokyo. All 15,000 seats at Ariake Arena are sold out, even though the most expensive ticket costs 1.3 million won.

Korea Basketball has already been upset by Japan, and the gap is getting wider and wider. The last time South Korea’s men’s basketball team qualified for the Olympic Games was in Atlanta in 1996. Last year, South Korea finished seventh at the Hangzhou Asian Games, its worst-ever finish, and was a peripheral player in Asia. Even the trusted women’s basketball team didn’t make it to Paris.

And now, naturalized athlete Ra Gun-ah is gone. Ahn Jun-ho, the head coach of the men’s national basketball team, has selected a squad of players in their 20s to face Japan, including Kim Jong-kyu and Lee Seung-hyun, 메이저 토토사이트 two of Korea’s most dominant players. Ha Yoon-ki, Lee Won-seok, and Lee Doo-won will be the big men. KCC’s title-winning stars Heo Woong and Choi Jun-yong were also left out.

Lee Jung-hyun, who became the KBL’s top guard last season, will face off against B League top guards Yuki Togashi and Yuki Kawamura.
