In the fourth quarter, Lee Seung-hyun began to deliberately play under the basket and reduce mid-to-long-range shots, but in front of the tall inside Haddadi, Lee Seung-hyun, who mainly played as a big forward, did not get much bargain, and Lee Seung-hyun, who gave up his strengths, entered the misunderstanding of playing against the basket and entered the Iranian team's favorite style of play, but the South Korean team was beaten by the Iranians in the fourth quarter with a 14-3 climax, and it was powerless.

Iran defeated South Korea 75-65, showing the team's strong resilience.

New Zealand VS Japan:

Japan's talented generation began to rise, and although Eiji Sawakita left the Dallas Mavericks to play for the Zhejiang team in the CBA, it still did not hinder the Japanese star's super popularity, and many Japanese women are now fans of the Japanese scoring ace.

Mori Shigehiro has secured the position of the starting center of the Japanese team, and the big center also recently announced that he will participate in the 2018-19 NBA draft, and has found an economic team to help him operate, if Mori Shigehiro joins the NBA successfully, it will fill the gap of the Japanese who left the NBA last season Eiji Sawaikita.

The game against the Japanese team, once again made the New Zealanders change their views on Asian teams, in the game with the Chinese team by the big forward Xu Zhibin under the basket after the overturn, this game with the Japanese team, they once again experienced the horror of the Japanese team's center Mori Shigekuan, the body is as wide as O'Neal when he first debuted, making the New Zealand team's interior miserable! Coupled with Eiji Sawaikita, an outside scoring machine desperate to prove himself in international tournaments, the New Zealand team was exhausted by a combination of inside and outside throughout the game, and never found a way to limit the two.

In the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, China (A1) faced Japan (B2) and Iran (B3) faced Australia (B1). 、

China VS Japan

The two teams that met in the semi-finals of last year's Asian Youth Championship met again, and half of the players in both teams were members of the Asian Youth Championship that year, and they were very familiar with each other, and from the beginning of the game, the two teams entered the attack without any temptation.

Because of the experience of playing against the Japanese team, the Chinese team in this game was responsible for the Japanese center Mori Chongkuan, Xu Zhibin relied on his strength to resist the opponent behind Mori Chongkuan, and Rui Zhiwei relied on his big and tall figure to defend in front of him, and at the same time he could take care of the Japanese team's big forward players in time.

For Zebei Rongji, although Liu Hao's defense has been criticized before, but after the Spurs were trained by the old coach Popovich for a year, the defensive skills and awareness have improved significantly, although they can't suppress Zebei's play, but it also consumes a lot of opponent's physical strength, and at the same time, he still consumes Zebei's physical strength and attention in terms of three-point shooting, and he has a good control of the opponent.

In terms of comprehensive strength, the Chinese team is still above the Japanese team, and even the difference in strength at the national team level is even greater than the gap between the two youth teams.

At 102-81, the Chinese team won another game and took the lead in the Asian Cup final, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, waiting for the winner between Australia and Iran to be played later.

China VS Australia

The two absolute powerhouses of their respective group stages, with a clear basketball strength in Asia that are significantly higher than other countries, have finally met, and this clash between the Asian champions and the Oceania champions has attracted a lot of media attention, including many NBA teams who have sent scouts to the game, including the Houston Rockets who are ready to pick Rui Zhiwei.

After the start of the game, both sides played a little cautiously, playing relatively simple offensively, and working defense, the first quarter just ended, the starting players have begun to gasp for breath, showing the fierce confrontation and physical consumption of the game.

The coach of the Chinese team, Zhang Hong, still boldly let all the main players except Xu Zhibin play in the first quarter to rest, and sent Zhou Qi, Xu Zhibin, Zhou Peng, Liaoyuan, and Guo Allen to the lineup. Australia originally thought that its second team could crush the Chinese team, but they didn't expect it to be evenly matched, and even under Zhou Qi's block and Xu Zhibin's strong beating, Australia, which had an advantage on the inside, was completely suppressed in the second quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led by a narrow margin of 51-48.

In the third quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides were still anxious, with a score of 74-71, still a 3-point difference, and the two sides entered the crucial fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Ye Hai began to exert his might, and Ye Hai, who had practiced his side-to-back shooting hard in the summer, had thoroughly mastered this shooting technique, and added this difficult shot to his arsenal and became his unique signature move.

The kind of shooting that Ye Hai suddenly used made the Australian team unguardable, and Simmons, who was a single defense, couldn't judge Ye Hai's shooting action at all, but was deceived by Ye Hai's shooting feints a few times, and was easily rushed to the basket by the opponent to score.

6 of 7 shots in a single quarter, 15 points! Ye Hai's strong play in the final fourth quarter led the Chinese team to defeat this powerful Oceania opponent, defeated the opponent 95-90, and won the championship of the men's basketball Asian Cup! And will take the title of Asian champion to the men's basketball World Cup to be held in China in 2019 next year!
