Korea Rep. Lost 63-80 in the first match against New Zealand, but the number of shots tested was 91.

As soon as the game starts, I suffer from Korean zone defense. In the first quarter alone, Korea Rep. Succeeded in seven steals and scored a goal from haste. However, Japan picks up the rebound and creates a chance to chase after it.

After that, Japan will draw in the flow from the defense and open the point difference. The stats that gave South Korea 37 turnovers show the goodness of the defense. In addition, the total number of rebounds is 50, which greatly exceeds the 37 in South Korea, and Japan will continue to accumulate points by controlling the rebounds.
