It was headed for the worst case scenario, failing to catch Japan. The national team brought it on itself.

The South Korean national basketball team, led by head coach Choo Il-seung, lost 70-84 against China in the quarterfinals of basketball at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, at 1 p.m. on the 3rd (Korea time). Yang Hong-seok scored 13 points and Ra Gun-ah scored 14 points, but South Korea lost helplessly.

South Korea's basketball, which stopped in the quarterfinals and fell to the 5th-8th place ranking match, will end the tournament without a medal for the first time since the 2006 Doha Games, which failed to win a medal.

The first quarter ended with a 13-20 deficit. Entering the second quarter, the game tilted significantly toward China. Seven of the Chinese players were over 2m, but they were also ahead of South Korea in speed and shooting. They were huge players, but they quickly attacked Korea.

Until the second half of the second quarter, Korea had only 27 percent of field throws. Ra Gun-ah of the world also showed difficulty in taking control under the basket as the 210cm center blocked it. He tried to shoot in position, but he often went off the rim. South Korea finished the second quarter trailing by 20 points (30-50). South Korea, which failed to overcome the gap, lost after being dragged helplessly throughout the third and fourth quarters.
After the game, Heo Hoon said, "It's an excuse to say it now, not to mention it," adding, "We brought it on ourselves." We should have finished well," he said, shaking his head.

South Korea finished second in Group D of the tournament. He won the first and second games against Indonesia (95-55) and Qatar (76-64), but met Japan in the final game and lost 77-83. The defeat was unexpected because the Japanese national team was undergoing a second-tier evaluation.

Korea recorded two wins and one loss. If they succeeded in winning the group by catching Japan, they could have advanced directly to the quarterfinals. However, South Korea had to play one more match to advance to the quarterfinals to the round of 12. South Korea had a difficult game against Bahrain on the 2nd, a day before the match against China. Although he won, he used up a lot of physical strength.
However, as Heo Hoon said, there is no excuse for "a game played in 14 hours." This is because the national team brought it on its own. Although Choo Il-ho was aiming for the gold medal, he entered the worst scenario by mis-buttoning the game against Japan and eventually finished the tournament without a medal in 17 years.
