NAGOYA, Japan -- South Korean basketball star Lee Hyun-jung credited his team's defense for his 28-point performance in the Asian Games quarterfinal win against Jordan. The 114-80 victory came at Aichi International Arena, with Lee hitting 6 of 10 three-pointers. South Korea dominated in the first quarter, leading 28-8, and Lee's teammate Moon Jeong-hyeon was particularly impactful defensively.
Lee praised Choi Jun-yong's professionalism, who joined the team late and played strongly. The South Korean team has won four consecutive games, setting the stage for their first Asiad gold since 2014.
