NAGOYA, Japan, Sept. 20 (Yonhap) -- South Korea defeated the home team Japan 67-57 for the men's basketball gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday.
Forward Lee Hyun-jung scored 13 of his game-high 27 points in the decisive third quarter at Aichi International Arena in Nagoya, as South Korea ended its 12-year gold medal drought in men's hoops. Lee, a former Davidson player, also led everyone with 18 rebounds.
The victory capped an unbeaten run for South Korea, which had earlier defeated Japan 100-83 in the group stage last Sunday.

Unlike that first meeting, this was a low-scoring affair. Japan shot only 28 percent from the field in the first half, with South Korea only marginally better at 33 percent over the first 20 minutes.
South Korea built an 11-5 lead with 6:23 left in the first quarter but then was held to just one more point the rest of the frame. Both teams missed some easy looks at the rim, with South Korea in particular rushing plays on the offensive end. Japan led 16-12 after the first quarter.
Kazuma Tsuya's three gave Japan a 19-12 lead early in the next quarter, but South Korean shooters found their stroke, with Choi Jun-yong and Lee Woo-suk each dialing in from long distance to spark a South Korean push. South Korea outscored Japan 16-12 in the second quarter, as the teams were knotted at 28-28 entering the second half.
The teams traded a few shots in the third quarter, with South Korea pulling away by eight points thanks to Lee Hyun-jung's outburst.

Lee drained a trio of three-pointers in the quarter as part of his 13 points, with Byeon Jun-hyeong, Lee Woo-suk and Lee Jung-hyun also draining shots from behind the arc.
Atsuya Ogawa and John Harper Jr. answered for Japan but South Korea still took a 55-47 lead into the final quarter. South Korea shot 6-of-8 from downtown in the third, after making only three out of 11 attempts in the first half.
South Korea remained in control in the final quarter, while Japan picked up a couple of offensive fouls early on.
Lee Jung-hyun's bucket pushed South Korea's lead to 62-49 with 7:26 left, before Ren Kanechika's three brought Japan back within 10.
But South Korea never relinquished its lead, and Japan missed three consecutive three-point attempts in one stretch with about two minutes left.
Lee Hyun-jung made a couple of free throws at the end and Jang made a steal during Japan's final possession to clinch the gold.
Lee joined his mother, Seong Jeong-a, as the second Asian Games gold medalist in his family. Seong helped South Korea to the 1990 women's hoops gold in Beijing.

日本名古屋，9月20日（韩联社）——周日，在爱知-名古屋亚运会男子篮球比赛中，韩国队以67比57战胜东道主日本队，夺得金牌。
在名古屋爱知国际体育馆举行的男篮奥运会决赛中，韩国队终结了长达12年的奥运金牌荒。前锋李贤廷在决定性的第三节独得13分，全场砍下最高的27分。这位前戴维森学院球员还抢下全场最高的18个篮板。
这场胜利为韩国队保持不败战绩画上了圆满的句号，此前韩国队在上周日的小组赛中以 100-83 击败了日本队。

与首回合交锋不同，这场比赛比分偏低。日本队上半场投篮命中率仅为28%，韩国队在前20分钟的命中率也只有33%，略好一些。
韩国队在第一节还剩6分23秒时以11-5领先，但之后仅再得1分。双方都错失了一些轻松的篮下得分机会，尤其是韩国队在进攻端过于仓促。第一节结束时，日本队以16-12领先。
下一节比赛开始不久，津矢一马的三分球帮助日本队以19-12领先，但韩国队的射手们很快找回手感，崔俊勇和李佑硕的远投命中点燃了韩国队的反扑势头。第二节韩国队以16-12的比分反超日本队，双方战成28平进入下半场。
第三节比赛中，双方你来我往，互有攻守，凭借李贤正的爆发，韩国队一度领先8分。

李在本节比赛中投进三个三分球，得到13分，卞俊亨、李宇硕和李正贤也都有三分球入账。
小川敦也和约翰·哈珀为日本队扳回两分，但韩国队仍以55-47领先进入最后一节。韩国队在第三节三分球8投6中，而上半场三分球11投仅3中。
韩国队在最后一节比赛中保持领先，而日本队在比赛初期就出现了几次进攻犯规。
李正铉的投篮让韩国队在比赛还剩 7 分 26 秒时以 62-49 领先，之后金近莲的三分球让日本队将比分追至只差 10 分。
但韩国队始终保持领先，而日本队在比赛还剩大约两分钟时，连续三次三分球出手均告失手。
李贤贞在比赛最后时刻罚中两球，张在最后一次进攻中抢断成功，帮助日本队锁定金牌。
李宗伟成为继其母成贞娥之后，家族中第二位亚运会金牌得主。成贞娥曾帮助韩国队在1990年北京亚运会上获得女子篮球金牌。
