In the upcoming 4th episode of SBS "Rising Eagles" Season 2, airing on July 26, the "Rising Eagles", buoyed by two consecutive wins in the national championship, clash with "Three Point", a 28-year-old powerhouse that has conquered Gangwon Province.

Their opponent, "Three Point", is a formidable team boasting powerful three-point shooting and fast breaks. Notably, "Three Point" Coach Lee Jun-beom, who has played basketball with "Rising Eagles" ace Moon Soo-in since childhood, thoroughly understands Moon Soo-in's playing style and heightened tension on set by delivering a provocative remark, saying, "Moon Soo-in is past his prime now."

On top of this, the "Rising Eagles" face a major crisis of severe roster depletion. With starting guard Oh Seung-hoon unable to play due to an injury sustained in the previous match, Jung Gyu-min and Son Tae-jin, who had been delivering irreplaceable performances, also suffered consecutive injuries during the game and left the court. Faced with the successive bad news, Coach Kim Tae-sul could not hide his distress, stating, "I am worried about how to overcome this crisis."

However, a spark of hope was ignited amidst the trials. Team captain MINHO of SHINee successfully scored his long-awaited first points of the season, turning the team atmosphere around. Cho Jin-se, the hidden card who had suffered a finger fracture, will finally make his court debut.

With the "Rising Eagles" facing the adversity of successive injuries, the results of whether they can unleash their fighting spirit to the end and complete their third consecutive win will be revealed in the 4th episode of "Rising Eagles" Season 2, airing on Sunday, July 26, at 11:05 PM.
