[Special Correspondent Gong Naijie/Reporting from Tokyo, Japan] In the AFC Champions League today, the Japanese team waited for Zong Shanlu's life-saving 3-pointer in the 8th inning, and thrillingly defeated the South Korean team 9-5, avoiding two unprecedented life-and-death battles on tomorrow's schedule. The best promotion scenario for the Taiwanese team tomorrow is to defeat the South Korean team and advance directly.
The South Korean team showed resilience today. In the 8th game, Kim Wai-soo scored a ground-breaking 3-point shot. The tie was tied at 5:5 at one point, causing the Tokyo Dome to fall into turmoil. If the Japanese team loses, the four teams will be 1 win and 1 lose. Tomorrow's noon game between Japan and Australia and the evening game between Taiwan and South Korea will become life and death battles. The winner of the two games will advance to the championship game, and the loser will fall into the third place game.
However, the Japanese team showed amazing will. Soyama scored the winning 3-pointer in the 8th inning, sealing the country with one shot and maintaining the Japanese team's "undefeated golden status" of 9 wins from 9 games in the AFC Champions League. The South Korean team suffered two consecutive defeats against Australia and Japan and is currently at the bottom with 0 wins and 2 losses.
