Bring on the heartbreak. And this time, it wasn’t a buzzer-beating three-point shot but a fast break layup by Korea that sent Team Philippines limping home 82-80.
The RP Team had the ball with 18.3 seconds left and the score tied 80-all but missed all three of their attempts including undergoal stabs by Jared Dillinger and Sonny Thoss.
South Korea rebound Yang Dong-Geun banked in a layup with 1.7 seconds left to give them the marginal basket.
The Philippines’ last time out gave Korea the opportunity to slip in 7’3” Ha Seung-Jin to bother Jayjay Helterbrand’s inbound that somewhat disrupted the last-second play. Helterbrand got the ball to James yap whose heave from 30-feet badly missed.
The RP Team doubled up in tears. A sickening feeling that we know all too well. During the 2002 Busan Asian Games, South Korea’s Lee Sang-Min dropped a killer trey from the deep left corner at the buzzer to break the hearts of the Philippines 63-62.
The RP team settled for eighth spot in the 25th FIBA Asia Men’s Championship.
SOUTH KOREA 82 – Oh 31, Kim 15, Kang 10, Lee 9, Yang HJ 9, Yang DG 6, Lee DJ 2, Bang 0, Joo 0, Ha 0, Kim 0.

Quarters: 19-26; 42-43; 62-62; 82-80
