The South Korean men's national basketball team won a gold medal at the Asian Games for the first time in 12 years under the leadership of coach Nikolaos Majuls. Despite early struggles and doubts, coach Majuls strengthened the team's organic cohesion based on 'system basketball'. Through this, Korea defeated the host country Japan in the final and achieved its fifth gold medal in Asian Games history. With this victory, the Korean men's basketball team will move towards new goals such as qualifying for the World Cup finals and securing a direct ticket to the Olympics.
