"The Korea Basketball Association, please help me a little more for my juniors..."


Men's national basketball center Kim Jong-kyu (DB) apologized for the sluggishness of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, openly calling for support from the Korea Basketball Association. Kim Jong-kyu wrote on social media (SNS) on the 6th, "I have no shame, but I want to ask you something," adding, "This is not the end of basketball in Korea." He also said, "I think we should reflect on it now and feel deeply about what went wrong," adding, "I don't want much." Please pay more attention and help me be competitive. Our team will do it next," he said. 스포츠토토


On the 6th, Korean men's basketball finished seventh in the Hangzhou Asian Games. It is the worst performance ever at the Asian Games. Prior to this tournament, South Korea's men's basketball had the worst performance in the Asian Games at the 2006 Doha Games. However, she broke the record for the lowest ranking ever in this tournament. Korea also lost in the 5th to 8th place matches. In the 5th to 8th place rankings on the 4th, they lost to Iran 82-89 and fell to the 7th to 8th place.


Earlier, South Korea lost 70-84 to host China in the quarterfinals of the tournament held on the 3rd. The main players were sluggish, with ace Huh Hoon (Sangmu) throwing six field goals and failing to score any. After being completely defeated by China, coach Choo Il-seung said at a press conference, "It's a shameful competition for me personally," adding, "I'm sorry to the fans who support basketball." "I think it's my job to achieve a successful ending to repay you," he said.


Kim Jong-kyu, who has been under Korea's goal for 13 years since 2011 with the Taegeuk mark, said, "Thank you and sorry for the fans who loved and supported Korean basketball," adding, "I never thought this place was light from the age of 21 until now." It's always been a burdensome and difficult position," he wrote. "It wasn't a place where I could say I wanted to do it, and it wasn't a place where I couldn't say I didn't want to do it," he said. "I tried my best to think it could be the last, but I felt it was really lacking."
