At the Hangzhou Asian Para Games, which closes today (28th), the wheelchair basketball final was held as a famous match between Korea and Japan.
The national team lost to Japan in a close match, but won a valuable silver medal.

Korea advanced to the finals with all 5 wins.
I was full of confidence after meeting Japan again, whom I had already beaten once in the preliminaries.
They fought fiercely and continued to lead, including a successful buzzer beater in the second quarter.
However, Japan’s counterattack resulted in a seesaw fight at the end of the fourth quarter.
1 minute and 25 seconds before the end, Korea tied the score at 45-45 with Lim Dong-ju’s three-point shot.
However, they immediately allowed a comeback and lost by two points as the last conversion shot missed.
Still, I saw hope.
[조승현/휠체어 농구 국가대표 : “(일본은) 세계 2위의 강팀이에요. 그런 팀을 상대로 저희가 비슷한 경기력을 보여줬고… 굉장히 긍정적인 대회였다고 생각해요.”]
Like Japan, which won a silver medal at the Tokyo Paralympic Games through a generational shift, Korea is also becoming younger and aiming for another leap forward.
[김상열/휠체어 농구 국가대표 : “잘하는 어린 선수들이 많이 나타나서 그런 부분은 긍정적으로 생각하고 있습니다.”]
Although I stopped at the summit, it was a valuable silver medal.
It was enough to regain my confidence ahead of the Paris Paralympic Games next year.
Disabled badminton player Sooyoung Yoo also competed against Korea and Japan in the WH2 singles final.
He won the silver medal after being blocked by world number one Kajiwara.
Yoo Soo-young, who is fluent in Japanese, made everyone laugh with her loud congratulations.
[“오메데토~~!!(축하해.)”]
He also had Kajiwara interpret questions from reporters about him.
[유수영/장애인 배드민턴 국가대표 : “같은 세대에 같은 나이대라서 (저를) 라이벌로 의식하고 있다고 합니다.”]
Joo Young-dae, who participated in a total of 4 weight classes in table tennis men’s doubles, won two gold medals with Jang Young-jin.
