00:00Yes, from here on, it's a good recommendation
00:02The Japanese men's basketball team is aiming to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 54 years.
00:09Tonight we will be competing in the final tournament, where a loss means the end.
00:13We'll introduce you to two key players who are essential to victory, along with exclusive interviews that will make you want to root for them.
00:20Then Tominaga dodges one more and puts it on the slate.
00:27Showed off his offensive power with a 100-point game the day before yesterday
00:31Tonight, the Japanese national team will face Lebanon in a crucial match.
00:35The key to the final battle is
00:39Sometimes the leader of the excitement
00:45And in the first match of the Asian Cup, former players
00:49From Yuta Watanabe
00:51I think this player is good
00:53Another key person was interviewed at his home
00:58We got close to his lovable true self
01:08This man shows off his well-trained physique while lying in bed.
01:16Japan national team playmaker
01:19Teves Kai, 26 years old
01:22He is so popular that he even released a photo book last year.
01:27With his excellent passing ability,
01:40He has recorded the most assists on the team for two consecutive games.
01:44Although Toebes gives off a cool impression at first glance,
01:49A high school coach said:
01:52A truly unbeatable and serious man
01:56It seems cool but it's hot
02:00The feeling is
02:02Here's a hint for that
02:04Taves' college career
02:07He travels between Japan and the US, switching between them here and there.
02:12Why on earth?
02:16To put it simply, I want to aim higher
02:21At worst, quit halfway through
02:23You don't have to say anything bad about it.
02:26If you think that option is better than the situation you're in now,
02:31I can move on to the next thing without really thinking about it.
02:34A passionate man who is not afraid of change
02:39But
02:40Oh hello hello
02:44Please, go ahead.
02:45The turnout was unexpected
02:48At my house
02:50It will be here
02:56I was led into a room mysteriously lit by LEDs.
03:02What on earth were they doing?
03:05Okay then, let's get started.
03:08My favorite hobby is online gaming
03:13He shows off a playful side that he doesn't show in matches.
03:17It's scary, it's scary
03:20Oh no, oh no, oh no
03:21Scary scary scary
03:22That's dangerous
03:23Why?
03:25Toews was born in Hyogo Prefecture and has a Canadian father.
03:31Apparently when he gets excited he starts speaking in Kansai dialect
03:34Isn't it?
03:35He also took me to a place where I could reveal my true self.
03:41This is Taves
03:55Grilled food shop
03:56My source of energy is my favorite food, tonkatsu
04:01basketball player
04:25By the way, why do you say you like tonkatsu?
04:44The first time I ate tonkatsu was probably when my mother made it for me.
04:52That's the taste I like the most
04:54Does it taste like your mother's?
04:56that's right
04:56Maybe I've been searching for that for a long time.
04:59I think this is very similar to that.
05:03It's super crunchy
05:06My mom would hit me if I said it on TV, but it's better than my mom's.
05:09And the other key person is also energetic.
05:31At the B League All-Star game, he showed off his Matsuken sandwich while wearing a topknot.
05:36Before the match, he showed off his nerdy skills.
05:42This player is the perfect example of a cheer leader.
05:46First match of the Asian Cup against Syria
05:56With the lead still looming
05:57Eight points scored in just 43 seconds
06:01Hirotaka Yoshii was the first player to lead Japan to victory.
06:06Yoshii puts his body on the line to liven up the venue.
06:11I believe in putting my body on the line when I play.
06:15What do you think is Yoshii's greatest characteristic?
06:23The most distinctive feature is the physical
06:27Physical play is easy to understand, and it's about not losing when you're physically attacking each other.
06:34Being able to play stably even when under pressure
06:39I'm going to gobble it up
06:42Well, that's part of my job.
06:46Height: 196 cm
06:51A strong physique that can withstand high blows and not be defeated by opponents
06:55Even to Yuta Watanabe, who is three years older than him
07:00It was my first time meeting him.
07:02If I drive on the first play,
07:05It was a pretty hard collision and resulted in a foul.
07:08I told him it was okay to commit as many fouls as he wanted.
07:11From there it was all good
07:12That's amazing, but
07:15I think this player is good
07:17I'm going to tackle this more aggressively than usual.
07:22Practice as if it were the real thing
07:27It's so aggressive that people say it's like
07:31I told you I was already practicing seriously.
07:34When it comes to the match,
07:38Because I don't always play with the same players.
07:42If you lower the intensity of your training
07:44If you can do it better
07:46Because I myself think
07:48I'm trying to raise that as much as possible.
07:53Yoshii's true feelings are as follows:
07:58I think I'm probably scared.
08:00Oh really?
08:02Well, I'm in a position where I have to go all out.
08:06What if the other person gets angry and starts swinging their elbows at me?
08:10I still have some thoughts about it though.
08:13Huh?
08:14Do you get a lot of dents at home?
08:19Well, nobody's watching at home.
08:20Everyone wants to be praised, right?
08:24I want you to praise me
08:26I want you to praise me
08:26I want you to praise me
08:27Please don't hurt me
08:30number one
08:31Please don't hit me
08:32Lebanon will be their opponent in tonight's big match to advance to the top eight.
08:39They are a strong team that was the runner-up last time.
08:41The road to becoming the Asian champion is finally coming to an end.
08:45Go Japan!
08:47The road to becoming Asian champion
