[Basketball] Japan's basketball team was truly a third-string squad... I'm envious of their depth.jpg

Even the players in this tournament don't include B.League ace-level talent.
In fact,
The coaching staff and members are completely different from the 농월 (Nong-wol) members
and the Asian Games staff.
They essentially just formed two separate teams within the country.
Since it's effectively 농월>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the Asian Games, they rotated in a completely different team
so that the members who just played in 농월 last month wouldn't be overexerted.
They aren't even the original national team... in a way, even the staff is second-string, so the preparation period must have been short,
but they still beat China and made it to the finals.
Just looking at their B.League stats... there are almost no players scoring over 10 points,
meaning they aren't core players or even high performers in the B.League.
In a way, Lee Hyun-jung is the only one whose level is clearly different, performing like a B.League import.
At least Kirk is a naturalized player who used to play as an import, and seeing him in the finals, he is definitely good,
but he's already getting older, and his style is a post-up style... he showed a complete lack of chemistry in 2:2 offense and defense.
There were no offensive tactics utilizing Kirk either...
