The men's national basketball team heads to the Asian Games in high spirits after securing back-to-back landslide victories in their friendly matches against the Philippines.

Today (Sept. 6), it was Yoo Ki-sang who put on a dazzling performance.

Following Lee Jeong-hyeon, who fired off seven three-pointers in the first match, Yoo took the baton today.

He drove fans into a frenzy by pouring in 15 points with five three-pointers, including four from beyond the arc in just the final three minutes of the first quarter.

Bolstered by double-digit scoring from Lee Hyun-jung and Yeo Jun-seok to secure a 27-point blowout victory, the national team wrapped up their friendly series with two straight wins and will depart for the battleground of Nagoya tomorrow (Sept. 7).
