The under-18 men's national basketball team has advanced to the semifinals of the Asian Cup with a commanding victory over Taiwan.
Led by twin brothers Yoon Ji-won and Yoon Ji-hoon, the team extended its winning streak to four games in the tournament and secured a ticket to the World Cup.
Early in the game, elder brother and forward Yoon Ji-won stood out.
Even while taking hits and falling down against opponents, he managed to sink his shots, and smoothly slammed home a dunk following a fast-break opportunity created by a steal.
When younger brother Yoon Ji-hoon's three-pointer missed, Yoon Ji-won grabbed the offensive rebound and finished the play himself.
Yoon Ji-won poured in 17 points until he was subbed out due to foul trouble early in the third quarter, after which his younger brother and guard, Yoon Ji-hoon, took over the court.
He repeatedly drove into the opponent's paint to score.
The twin brothers combined for 43 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists. With Eom Ji-hu's three-pointers also clicking, the national team decisively defeated Taiwan 107 to 79.
Having marched through the tournament undefeated to reach the semifinals and earn next year's World Cup berth, the national team will face the winner of the Australia-Iran match tomorrow (August 22) for a spot in the final.
