When things aren't going well, you need an ace to hard carry.

‌Today's Asian Games final against Japan was truly tough.
In any tournament, playing against the home team carries a lot of pressure.
It was a difficult game today because neither team could find their rhythm with shooting. Japan couldn't score, and neither could we.
When things aren't going well like this, you need an ace to hard carry. The player who ultimately did that today was Lee Hyun-jung.
It was just like how, when the Chicago Bulls struggled during the playoffs in the 1990s, they had no choice but to rely on Michael Jordan's isolation plays.
