The men's national basketball team, seeking its first gold medal in 12 years at the Nagoya Asian Games, defeated Jordan to advance to the semifinals.

Led by head coach Mazurs, the national team completely overwhelmed Jordan, the runner-up of the previous tournament.

Ace Lee Hyun-jung poured in 28 points, including six 3-pointers, setting the team's highest single-game scoring record in the current tournament. Lee Jeong-hyeon, Byeon Jun-hyung, Yu Gi-sang, and Lee Woo-seok also contributed with double-digit scoring to support the victory.

Having surpassed 100 points for three consecutive games to reach the semifinals, the national team will face the winner of the Iran-Bahrain match on September 18 to compete for a spot in the finals.
