The Japan men's basketball team finally entered the Olympic Games, but in the face of European strong teams, it still fiercely exposed its flaws, like football, thinking that it can get out of Asia and enter Europe, in fact, the strength is still in Asia, Japan still don't think about getting out of Asia and entering Europe, really dominate in Asia.
However, Hachimura's performance, it is estimated that after the Olympics, he will be abused by Japan netizens again, after all, he is not pure Japanese blood, he will not be sprayed again to no longer play for Japan, right?
