00:00We're not even winning any of the predictors, so.
00:03Yeah, so.
00:05Loser.
00:14All right, second half underway here at Berlin Arena.
00:21Hungry three-point lead over Japan.
00:23Winner will move on to the cornerfinals.
00:30Three-pointer up and in.
00:32We just talked about.
00:34Yeah, you just said, you know what?
00:36They're winning without Dorka having a good game and Takash Kish.
00:40And she says, what?
00:41What did you say?
00:42What did you say about me at halftime?
00:44Take that.
00:46Ooh, nice no-look pass.
00:49Mawuli will try from three.
00:52That one's long.
00:54Lelik pulls down the rebound.
00:55They're going to look to push.
01:03Lelik rejects the screen.
01:10Shooter throws it up.
01:14Ooh, turnover for Hungry.
01:18Tanaka will slow things down.
01:23Looking to turn the corner.
01:24A little floater with the lefty.
01:25Hits nothing.
01:28Still has a smile on her face.
01:30She smiles, though.
01:31She's like, my bad.
01:32Oh, wow.
01:33Yeah, way off.
01:37This is why I love watching Japan.
01:39They're just, they have joy.
01:42They have respect for the game.
01:44Respect for the referees.
01:45Lelik continues to dominate this game.
01:5217 points.
01:54The only player in double figures.
02:02Toto, shot fake.
02:04And foul is on the floor.
02:14Lelik having herself a game, averaging nine points this tournament, but has 17 and shooting
02:21seven for nine from the field.
02:24You know, I mentioned this during the group phase, watching Hungry.
02:29There were two players.
02:31Oh, we have a moving screen going against Maouli.
02:34Two players on this team, Kristen, were even born the last time Hungry played in the World Cup.
02:42Don't do that.
02:42And it's Yvonne Turner and Judith Barnet.
02:48So, you know, it's just, it's wonderful to see.
02:53They've had a great showing with their fans as well.
02:56Oh, that was an interesting whistle.
03:03I think Tanaka just a little too aggressive, picking up full court.
03:09The two fouls for Japan.
03:13In the first two minutes of the third, they go inside to Yuhas.
03:17Almost turned it over, taking her time, spinning up and out.
03:21And that's, those are the kind of misses we have not seen Yuhas commit all tournament long.
03:30Machida.
03:35Backdoor cut, Maouli misses the easy bunny.
03:40Saves it, Toto will line it up.
03:44Hits the front iron, and Japan continuing to struggle from the three-point line.
03:48That's a wide-open shot for Toto as well.
03:52No one here closing out.
03:56They go inside, off the glass, not this time, and foul.
04:02And you see the frustration by Tokash Kish.
04:09Frustrated she doesn't make this first one, but does.
04:12Does get the O-board.
04:14It needs to take her time, gather, just go up strong.
04:17Three fouls for Toto as well.
04:22We have foul trouble, on the other hand, also, though.
04:27Obviously, Reykjeljelik.
04:28You don't want to see her have to go to the bench.
04:31No, because she's balling.
04:32Torek has three fouls.
04:34Struder has three fouls as well.
04:36So foul trouble might become an issue for both teams down the stretch of this game.
04:45And five points now for Tokash Kish.
04:56Mowuli cannot knock down the three.
04:59Torek is one for four from downtown in Japan.
05:04Four for 17 from the three-point line.
05:09Really struggling.
05:10Mismatch inside.
05:13Four hungry.
05:14Juhasz shot fakes.
05:17Reloads.
05:18Can't get it to go.
05:24Yamamoto.
05:25Yamamoto.
05:27Off the glass.
05:29Not this time for her.
05:33I do think a player who can step up for Japan should be Yamamoto.
05:45One-footer off the mark.
05:47This time for Lelik.
05:49Machida gives it up.
05:52And Mowuli gets a bucket for Japan.
06:04Lead back to single digits for Hungry.
06:08Lelik.
06:10They go inside.
06:14And tough finish.
06:17Yeah.
06:18For Tokash Kish.
06:19I like this, though.
06:20Obviously, Coach Olji at halftime said,
06:25You know what?
06:26We need to get the ball inside.
06:27We have an advantage.
06:29And it's not Dorka.
06:30It's Tokash Kish.
06:33Double team comes.
06:34Baseline cut.
06:35Making the extra pass.
06:37Shot clock winding down.
06:39Couple seconds.
06:40Yamamoto has to heave.
06:42Can't get it to fall.
06:46They're only four of 18 now from three-point range.
06:5022%.
06:51The scary thing about Japan is they're going to continue to shoot threes.
06:55And if they start to make them, this lead can disappear very quickly.
07:00That is Japan's fourth foul this quarter.
07:04And a timeout on the floor.
07:12Four.
07:13Japan is hungry now with a ten-point lead,
07:16which is 5.15 left to go here in the third.
07:19Let's have a listen in.
07:20He's fighting.
07:21He's fighting.
07:22Okay?
07:22Every time, get some good looks.
07:24Get some good looks.
07:25Okay?
07:25Okay?
07:25Get some good looks.
07:26Okay?
07:26Get a stop.
07:28Catch your breath.
07:29Take your time.
07:31Easy shot.
07:32Okay?
07:33Okay?
07:33I'll be fine.
07:34Okay?
07:36Okay?
07:36Okay?
07:36Next time on offense.
07:37Next time on offense.
07:38Next time on offense.
07:39We're gonna go...
07:41Hanin-yon.
07:41Hanin-yon.
07:42If you don't have the shot,
07:45DHO backdoor, come off.
07:46Okay?
07:47We're giving the shot.
07:48Okay?
07:49We're giving the shot.
07:49Okay?
07:50Come on.
07:50Come on.
07:50Come on.
07:51Then let's do it.
07:52Come on.
07:53Come on.
08:07Come on.
08:09All right, 10-point lead, if you're just now joining us for Hungry,
08:14winner will continue on to the quarterfinals versus USA.
08:19The loser, unfortunately, will have to pack their bags and go home.
08:23So a lot at stake here.
08:24Still plenty of basketball left to go in Japan.
08:29Struggling from the three-point line,
08:32where they're normally extremely efficient,
08:35but anything can happen.
08:37Right now they're shooting 22%.
08:38But you know what?
08:40You go 4-4, 3-3, and that percentage shoots up very quickly.
08:44Real quick.
08:47Lelich looking to attack, kicks it out, or Bocchi kicked it out.
08:53Gets it back, lines one up.
08:56It's only the backboard, and Japan comes up with the rebound.
09:03Let's see if Japan can execute coming out of that timeout.
09:06Now the cheetah.
09:11Picking pop action, extra pass to the corner.
09:14Now another drive off the glass and in for Kono.
09:23The lead back to eight.
09:30Well, it's double-teamed.
09:32Yuhas wide open for three up top.
09:34Not this time for her.
09:36That looks good from our angle.
09:38Yeah.
09:39Machida pushing the pace, kicks it out.
09:41Three ball up.
09:43And Japan continue.
09:45They're getting great looks.
09:48Yeah, they are.
09:48Wide open looks.
09:54Yeah, they are.
09:56Yeah, they are.
10:15And it hit front rim.
10:16Do you think that's kind of, you know, a little bit of a sign of, it's been a long tournament
10:21already?
10:22I think a lot of, you know, fatigue is playing into this.
10:25Played 28 minutes a game.
10:27Yeah.
10:28I mean, you talked about how important the bench is in tournaments like these when you have a quick turnaround.
10:36And some teams have the luxury of going 12 deep.
10:40Some don't.
10:49Miyazawa loses it.
10:53So, turnover for Japan.
10:56They go inside.
10:59Tokash Kish going to work.
11:00No double-teamed Kona and taking her time.
11:02Plus the foul.
11:03We are Tokash Kish.
11:07Two points.
11:08Miyazawa.
11:09Tokash Kish.
11:11Kind of stares down the referee a little bit.
11:13I thought she was maybe, you know, a little bit of an offense.
11:18I don't want to call it a hook because she kind of went with the elbow.
11:21But you've got to move your feet in that situation, though, knowing that Tokash Kish was trying to go to
11:27the middle.
11:28We saw Japan in the first half whenever Tokash Kish and Uhas touched the ball.
11:32There was double teams coming.
11:34There were Japan's defense was swarming a little bit more.
11:37We haven't really seen that for this quarter.
11:40But how about this?
11:41I mean, ten points for Tokash Kish in this game.
11:45Or should I say in this quarter?
11:47In this quarter.
11:51Yeah, we talked about at halftime, how she was scoreless.
11:54Only had a few attempts.
11:57Stolen away by Yamamoto.
12:01Ajo and gives it right back to Hungry.
12:08Ajo will set things up.
12:18Shot clock at five.
12:23Ajo throws it up, hits the front of the rim, and it will go out of bounds on Japan's ball.
12:31Just under three minutes left here in the third.
12:34And Hungry with their biggest lead at 13.
12:51Sheena kicks it out, drive off the backboard for Kono.
12:59Yeah, Kono, nice drop there.
13:01Not settling for the three-point shot, which has not been Japan's friend.
13:05But she has had the opportunity.
13:07She's catching, drove, and no help side by Hungry on the two possessions.
13:11Her four points.
13:13And turnover.
13:15Japan has numbers.
13:15Kono again for Japan.
13:18And by Kono.
13:20The turnovers have been an issue for Hungry this entire tournament.
13:26Well, it was the last few minutes of the second quarter that Japan made a little bit of a run.
13:31Is that what we're seeing here with just under two minutes to play here in the third quarter?
13:38Double team.
13:39So there's the double.
13:39But they foul.
13:40You don't want to foul.
13:41I mean, Tokash Kish, she's already three of three from the free throw line.
13:45In this game, she's shooting 86% from the free throw line in the tournament.
13:51And she goes over seven times a game.
13:54So she's a good free throw shooter for Hungry.
13:58You need to figure out how to make it more difficult for Tokash Kish without fouling her and putting her
14:06on the free throw line.
14:07So is that more pressure on the ball?
14:09Is that, you know, before she catches, the double team is almost there?
14:13Yeah, and you also can't let her get a deep seal like she was at the RA line.
14:20For me, that's a little too late for the double team to come.
14:23I mean, she's got great position.
14:24All she has to do is catch and turn.
14:25So if she's that deep in the paint, you've got to get there earlier.
14:30Can you explain what RA is for none of us?
14:33I'm so sorry.
14:34None of us who are not in the United States or North America.
14:37The restricted area.
14:38That little circle that's half circle area right there.
14:41We call it a semi-circle in Europe.
14:44Yeah, B-R-A.
14:45It's a semi-circle.
14:48Yeah, it's a little bit more than a semi-circle.
14:50Whatever.
14:51Potato, potato.
14:5711-point lead for Hungry.
15:03Mowule gets it to Yamamoto.
15:05Yamamoto can, as you said, can try and get things going here for Japan.
15:10Kono, pull up.
15:12That was off right.
15:14Oh, boy.
15:14Here goes Yamamoto for three.
15:16Yes!
15:17It desperately needed that three-point shot by Yamamoto.
15:22As it has been all hungry here in this third quarter.
15:26How about that, though?
15:28Why?
15:28Why?
15:29Yeah.
15:30What are we doing?
15:33Unnecessary.
15:34Now you're going to the free-throw line.
15:37Where's that big shot by Yamamoto?
15:39Just make a big shot.
15:41High arcing shot.
15:44You know, 10 of 13 for Hungry at the line.
15:47I understand you're down and you want to put pressure, make things a little bit more difficult,
15:52but you can't give up a silly foul in the backcourt when your team is already in the bonus.
15:59Well, that one in particular might have worked every time we talk about this.
16:04Potato, potato.
16:05Yeah.
16:06As Turner goes one for two from the free-throw line.
16:10Yamamoto looking to drive.
16:12Can't get it to go.
16:13Juhasz pulls down the rebound.
16:15Turner slows things down.
16:22Ajo.
16:30Shot clock ticking away.
16:33Ajo drives baseline, has to throw it up.
16:37And just in time.
16:41Ajo.
16:41In Ajo.
16:44Takes it back.
16:45Takes it back to an 11-point lead.
16:48It's a knockout.
16:51Hits the front iron and that goes out of bounds.
16:54So, final 22.9 on the clock.
17:04Chance for Hungry to extend this lead.
17:10Turner taking her time, asking Juhasz for the pick.
17:16And a foul on the double team.
17:22I feel, you know, maybe some things have not gone well for Japan,
17:29but I also think Japan are making a lot of mental mistakes
17:34that we don't typically see from a team that, one, is very well coached,
17:40and, two, they have, you know, this team has a very high basketball IQ.
17:45Yeah, I'm very surprised by all the fouls that have been committed at the end of this third.
17:54And Hungry goes back up 13.
18:03Five seconds on the clock.
18:07Some substitutions for this last possession.
18:11And a foul committed right away.
18:13Hungry does have a lot of fouls to give, so not a bad idea here to use these up.
18:20Trying to slow things down so that Japan does not get a shot off.
18:263.5 on the clock now.
18:33Yamamoto will take it out.
18:39Tanaka gets picked from Turner.
18:43Oh, my.
18:45Quick hands from Turner.
18:48And after three quarters, Hungry is hungry to get to the quarterfinals.
18:57Yeah, you said it.
18:5858-45 with just 10 minutes left here to go.
19:03Well, the biggest lead for Hungry in the first half was 13 points.
19:07They have that lead right now.
19:09Look at that shooting percentage, though.
19:11Only 5 of 22 for three-point range compared to 7 of 16.
19:1644% for Hungry.
19:19And Takash Kish coming up big in that third quarter.
19:2212 points now for her.
19:24She had zero points heading into the third, folks.
19:27And she says, you know what?
19:28I need to help out Durka Uaz as well.
19:31It was Rekha Lelik in the first half.
19:33Second half.
19:36Takash Kish taking over.
19:38Maybe the fourth quarter, Durka Uaz will say, you know what?
19:42I'm rested.
19:43I'm ready to go.
19:43Let me take over.
19:45Yeah, I think their captain, Takash Kish, heard us talking about her at halftime
19:50and how she was scoreless and just came out on fire.
19:5510 points, like you said.
19:56But, yeah, I think you might be right.
19:58I think now it's going to be Durka Uaz's turn.
20:02I think these two are average double-doubles.
20:08I mean, right now, Takash Kish 12.7 rebounds.
20:13Uaz just 4 points, 4 rebounds.
20:15So I'm curious if she's going to get going.
20:16But it has been all, well, like 19 points in 21 minutes of play.
20:25And Hungary really has led this entire game.
20:28Japan got within 3.
20:31They got within 2, I believe.
20:362 was the closest.
20:37It was a single possession game for sure.
20:40All right, folks, scan the QR code to access Courtside 1891.
20:46That code will come back.
20:50I'm sorry.
20:51You're right.
20:51That was not Courtside.
20:52That was the World Cup app, which I also have.
20:56Yes.
20:57You just have all the apps.
20:58You have all the apps.
20:58I want to be up to date.
21:02Fourth quarter underway here in Berlin Arena.
21:06They got to go on a run, Kristen.
21:08I think they need to cut this down to single digits around at least by the 6, 5-minute mark.
21:16Yeah, absolutely.
21:17As Maki Takata comes out and scores the first 2 points of the quarter for Japan.
21:24I mean, they got to go on a run.
21:26It has to start on the defensive end for Japan.
21:31And Hungary goes inside to Uaz.
21:33No double team yet.
21:34Kicks it back out.
21:36And the 3-ball off the mark.
21:37But Dworka Juhasz is there to clean it up.
21:41Add a rebound.
21:42Plus 2 points.
21:44Oh, picked by Studer.
21:52Turner.
21:54And the mismatch inside between Sokash Kish and Mowuli.
22:00And then on the other side.
22:01But stolen away for Japan.
22:06And a foul.
22:08But, you know, you talked about the mismatch.
22:10Obviously, Mowuli giving up quite a few centimeters.
22:14Trying to defend Sokash Kish.
22:17But both are playing in Spain professionally on Euro Cup or Euro League teams.
22:23So, they are very familiar with each other's game.
22:27Yeah, I mean, Stephanie Mowuli is already a bit undersized as a post.
22:31And then when she has to go up against, you know, the 6'4", 6'5", post players.
22:36That's a tough task to do.
22:39I mean, she just has to use her athleticism and speed to try and get around.
22:44And Machida goes inside and a foul.
22:50Machi Takata will head to the free throw line.
22:56As she had the mismatch this time.
23:00Actually surprised they didn't throw it up.
23:03But two quick fouls now.
23:05And 10 assists for Rui Machida.
23:08Well, if you watched her back at the 2018 World Cup.
23:14Yeah, she had quite a few.
23:15Yeah, she knows how to dish the ball, that's for sure.
23:19Yeah, she does.
23:20Drive and kick.
23:23Free ball off the mark.
23:25And Japan will stay with it.
23:29And another foul.
23:31Well, I feel like Duel has just come into this game and said, you know what?
23:37I'm just going to hack people.
23:39Three fouls in...
23:41In less than three minutes for sure.
23:44Two minutes.
23:44Two minutes, see?
23:45Yeah.
23:45Not even three minutes.
23:46I mean, she clearly came in at the end of the third two fouls because they had fouls to give.
23:52So I'm not sure if coach said something again.
23:55Hey, like chill.
23:56Chill.
23:57Backdoor cut.
23:58And two more.
23:59Two more points for Japan by Toto.
24:06They've had that backdoor cut a few times from the corner of this game.
24:09But you know what?
24:09You have to get out and defend the three-point line because they're such good three-point shooters.
24:13So it opens up backdoor cut opportunities.
24:16And now a three-ball.
24:17Oh, my goodness!
24:19Oh, my goodness!
24:19Oh, my goodness!
24:22Oh, my goodness!
24:24Parker Duel knocks down a triple.
24:27Kono spins.
24:29Turnaround is short.
24:31And Duel comes up with the board.
24:34Stolen away from Toto.
24:38Machida waiting for teammates.
24:45Ooh, another backdoor cut from Toto.
24:49That was a nice pass.
24:50And another assist for Machida.
24:52Don't forget Machida.
24:53I mean, you know, we could talk about FIBA World Cup, but how about the Tokyo Olympics?
24:59She was an all-star five.
25:01Twelve and a half assists a game in that tournament for her, Kristen.
25:06Twelve and a half.
25:07Do you know how much that is?
25:08Yeah, that's...
25:08Yeah, I know.
25:10Are you aware of how many assists it is?
25:13Her high was 18 assists in a game against France, where they beat them in the semifinal.
25:21They go inside to Mowuli, and again, foul.
25:26That is the fourth foul for Hungary.
25:28This is concerning for me, right?
25:30Like, Hungary, you want to put Japan on the free throw line and say, okay, beat us like that.
25:36They're 10 and 14 tonight.
25:37All right, 71% overall in the tournament.
25:41Japan are shooting 71% as well, 70.5.
25:49But to be in the bonus was 6.61.
25:52Yeah, there's a lot of time.
25:53I'm like, if I'm Japan, I'm still...
25:55You've got to be aggressive.
25:55You've got to try and stop the clock and put points on the board any way possible.
26:03Machida finds Mowuli.
26:05That one is short.
26:06Yep.
26:08Mowuli really struggling from the three-point line tonight.
26:12I guess it was a good foul, right?
26:14Right.
26:16Oh, nice little give-and-go.
26:18Dorca Juhasz.
26:20Dorca Juhasz.
26:22Sends the lead for Hungary.
26:27The biggest lead of the game.
26:3014 points now for Hungary.
26:32And an offensive foul.
26:34Illegal screen.
26:35I'm not...
26:36I'd like to see a replay on that.
26:37I think I missed that.
26:39There's a lot of time left in this game, but you can also sense that time is starting to run
26:44out as well for Japan.
26:46Yeah, 14 points.
26:46And I say that with the way that they have shot the ball here today.
26:49Especially from three-point range.
26:525 of 24.
26:53Only 21%.
26:54And how well Hungary has shot the ball.
26:57Yeah, it's a completely different story if Japan was shooting the ball better from the three-point line.
27:04But they're obviously struggling.
27:08Aho.
27:15Juhasz.
27:18Quick three.
27:19Up and in.
27:22Juhasz.
27:25Tough shot.
27:26Tough shot.
27:27And everyone stepping up and contributing offensively for this Hungarian team.
27:33This is the best offensive game I've seen Hungary play in this tournament, Kristen.
27:38Machina.
27:39Oh!
27:40You don't see that very often.
27:42Normally she's handing out the assist, but now...
27:48Hopefully that can get Japan going.
28:20Another three ball.
28:20In my history watching, I don't remember teams shooting this well.
28:24There were two records.
28:26Japan set it the first day one.
28:28Yeah.
28:28Twenty-threes.
28:30And here comes another.
28:31Nope, that three's off the mark for Yamamoto.
28:35And the second record was just, what, a couple nights ago by France.
28:41And the high-low turnover by Aho, trying to look for Juhasz inside.
28:54Just five minutes left here.
28:57Winner of this game will advance to the quarterfinals.
29:02Juhasz versus USA.
29:09Kono hits a triple.
29:14Timeout on the floor for Hungary.
29:17Do you think this timeout for Hungary is more of a strategic timeout that he knows he kind of needs
29:26to give his players maybe a little bit of a breather?
29:30I think it's that, but...
29:31Because, yes, they have the lead.
29:32They do have the lead, but at the same time, we talked about how quickly, even though they're not shooting,
29:37Japan's not shooting well, like, they could catch fire just like that.
29:41So I think he's also trying to...
29:42Cool them off.
29:43Cool them off.
29:44After that game basket, yeah.
29:46Well, 10-21 for three-point range, 48% for Hungary.
29:52They have six players who have made at least one three-point shot here today, well over their tournament average
30:03heading into this game.
30:04They only averaged four made threes per grade, per game.
30:11Yeah, they're well over that.
30:12While shooting 30%, so they are well over their tournament average.
30:20Yeah, we talked about it in pregame, how important their twin towers were going to be tonight in Tokaj Kish
30:27and Juhasz.
30:29But it's really been their guards who got it started, and then their captain, Tokaj Kish, now has 15 points,
30:38which have only been in 15 minutes, really, in these last 15 minutes of the second half.
30:43Well, there it is.
30:44Right there.
30:45Zero points in the first half.
30:47Points.
30:55Double team coming.
30:57Ooh.
30:57It's exactly not what you want to do, right?
31:01Can you see the excitement from Japan?
31:03I'm still going to stay hungry ball.
31:05It is, but it gives you a little...
31:07A little bit of a...
31:08A little bit of...
31:09Yeah.
31:13I think you and I have talked about this, possibly bringing the actual jump ball.
31:19Oh, the jump ball back.
31:20Yeah.
31:21I would love to see it.
31:22That and the one-for-one free throw.
31:24Almost turned over, but hungry.
31:26Uh-huh.
31:27Uh-huh.
31:28Comes through, and Dorka Juhasz.
31:33That's two more to their lead.
31:35Now, Juhasz with 10 points.
31:42Yamamoto looking to go one-on-one.
31:44Goes up and under fadeaway.
31:47Can't get it to go.
31:49And I really, you know, I think they are now missing Saki Hayashi.
31:53Yeah, for sure.
31:54And her scoring ability.
31:59Oh-ho.
32:02Stolen away.
32:06Kono looking to push the pace.
32:08Wide open layup for Japan.
32:11Oh, they need to push the pace more now than ever.
32:15And another turnover here.
32:20He talks about turnovers being an issue for this team.
32:24They do have a comfortable lead, but another timeout on the floor for Hungry.
32:30An interesting timeout because he's giving Coach Corey Gaines the opportunity to not use a timeout
32:37and set up a little quick hitter right here on the side out of bounds.
32:43You know, it's pretty low on the sideline there.
32:45Like, low I mean towards the baseline, but it is on the sideline.
32:49And this is an opportunity for Coach Gaines.
32:53They're going to look for a quick shot.
32:54I would not be surprised if it's a three-point shot.
32:56I mean, yeah.
32:58Even if they're shooting it poorly, 26%, they're always looking for a three-point shot.
33:05It doesn't matter.
33:06But you have to kind of wonder, like, had Japan played with this aggressiveness earlier,
33:13would the lead be smaller?
33:16It's almost an urgency and an extra speed that they have started to play with the last few minutes.
33:25But Hungry is still with the lead here in the fourth, though.
33:28They've outscored Japan 15-14.
33:33Yeah, and obviously Hungry has won every quarter so far with the exception of the second quarter
33:38where Japan did make their run towards the end of the first half.
33:42But Kono right now, zero points in the first half, does have nine right now.
33:47She's going to spark for them this second half.
33:50Well, I do have confirmation, Kristen, from our Optifax brains behind the scenes.
33:59It is the highest average of three-pointers made at a Feeble Women's Basketball World Cup
34:05with the average four teams making at least eight, 7.9, eight three-pointers per game.
34:12Yamamoto, oh, no, gets caught for the offensive foul.
34:16That would have been huge for Japan.
34:19Oh, man.
34:21Wow.
34:22Oh, man.
34:25I need to see that on replay because that is a very, very tough call going against you.
34:32That is a huge swing.
34:37And now time really starting to run out.
34:44Three ball off the mark there.
34:46Japan come up with it and a foul.
34:52Well, going to the free-throw line.
34:58Yamamoto, we didn't get to see the replay of the offensive foul on the three-point shot.
35:04Did you see the defender fall?
35:05I was watching.
35:06Yamamoto has a very high arc to her shot, so I like to follow the ball.
35:11Follow the ball.
35:11So I did actually not see the defender.
35:16Yeah, unfortunately, I did not see it.
35:19I was memorized by the ball as well.
35:23Memorized or mesmerized?
35:24What did I say?
35:25Memorized.
35:29Mesmerized.
35:32My bad.
35:33Words.
35:34Sometimes English is hard.
35:41Relic up top.
35:45Double team.
35:46They get it to Juhas.
35:48Thought about it.
35:48Extra pass to the corner.
35:49Knocks it down.
35:53Veronica.
35:55Kenyashi coming alive.
35:57Nine points now for her.
35:59Three made three-pointers.
36:02And that three-ball was way off for Tanaka.
36:07Struggling from the field.
36:09And a foul as they try to double team.
36:13I really wish that Japan would have been playing with this sense of urgency a little bit earlier.
36:20But here's that three from the corner.
36:25By Veronica Kenyashi.
36:32They go inside to Juhas double team.
36:34Can we get a repeat?
36:37Not this time for Hungary.
36:41Tanaka.
36:42Trying to go to work.
36:44Hands it off.
36:45Kono.
36:49Oh, gets it back.
36:50They got to go.
36:51They're taking up way too much time.
36:53Tanaka will heave.
36:55That hits the front of the rim.
36:57And time is not on Japan's side.
37:05Hungry.
37:06This would be considered an upset in my opinion.
37:10Especially just looking at what Japan has done in the last.
37:14Tokosh.
37:16Oh, my gosh.
37:18Oh, my gosh.
37:18What is it?
37:21Zero points in the first half.
37:24Now 17, possibly 18.
37:27You know, the last time Hungary played at a FIBA Basketball World Cup was in 1998 here in Berlin, Germany.
37:35So there must be something in the water.
37:38They had a 10-place finish.
37:40Their highest finish was back in the 60s, I think.
37:42And that was a fifth-place finish, if I'm not corrected.
37:45I mean, they are going up against a team who has regularly participated at the Olympics and World Cups since
37:532014, let's say.
37:56These are the silver medalists from the 2020 Olympics.
38:01Tokosh Kish cannot complete the three-point play.
38:05But ball goes out of bounds.
38:08It will stay with Hungry.
38:09Now 17 points for the captain.
38:12Seven rebounds, two assists in 27 minutes.
38:15And she did a lot of that work in the second half.
38:19All of it, for the most part.
38:21Had zero points in the first half.
38:30Oh, beautiful pass.
38:32Schroeder cannot finish.
38:33Kicks it out.
38:35And Lelik will try.
38:38They're trying to use as much of the clock as they can.
38:42And Japan will commit the foul.
38:45Will send Lelik to the line.
38:4993 seconds left in this game.
38:53And Hungry can taste the quarterfinals.
38:58I mean, I'm looking over at the bench and you see smiles, but they are trying to keep it in
39:04a little bit.
39:05And, you know, 19 points.
39:09Lelik has been outstanding.
39:1120 points.
39:12And, you know, they don't want to celebrate too soon because, can you say minute 33, but...
39:18It's not.
39:18I mean, it's...
39:19Yeah.
39:21But I understand them trying to...
39:23Trust me, we're going to see a celebration in about a minute and 30.
39:26For sure.
39:28Tanaka drives and really...
39:30She's had an off game.
39:31I should say an off second half.
39:33Only 9.7 of those coming in the first half for her.
39:37And Tanaka commits the personal.
39:40Will send Shooter to the free throw line.
39:44And 19-point lead.
39:46The biggest lead for Hungry.
39:49Again, Hungry averaging...
39:52How many points?
39:5573, I said, right?
39:57They were...
39:58No, sorry.
39:58That was...
39:5873 was Japan.
39:59They were averaging 69.
40:0269 points.
40:03Yeah.
40:0369 points heading into this one.
40:06Only four made three-pointers per game heading into this here today.
40:11And, you know, when you outscore Japan kind of at their own game.
40:15Yeah.
40:16And three-point shooting.
40:17Well, the 11 made three-pointers for them.
40:26Three ball up and out for Japan.
40:31And it has not been their day.
40:34It has not, unfortunately.
40:35From the three-point line.
40:38And now, for sure, they're going to use up all this clock.
40:46Lelich.
40:47Why not?
40:49Why not?
40:5323 points.
40:55Eight rebounds.
40:56Four assists.
40:58For Lelich.
40:59Big rebound there for Japan.
41:02Machida.
41:04Can't get it to go.
41:05Another O-board and another attempt.
41:09It is just not Japan's game, unfortunately.
41:14It's come at the wrong time.
41:16And, you know, looking back, you have to obviously, we have to talk about it.
41:20You have to wonder.
41:22Hayashi going down, injured, not able to come back.
41:25A serious injury as well.
41:27An injury that it was right in front of her teammate's bench.
41:30That is going to affect you.
41:32Yeah.
41:33And I'm sure that was on their minds this second half.
41:42Studer hits nothing.
41:44And it will be a shot clock violation.
41:46Final seven seconds here.
41:48And you can see the bench of Hungry.
41:52All smiles, coaching staff.
41:55Now, yeah.
41:56Now they're smiling.
41:57Now they're standing.
41:58Now they're up on their feet.
41:59Now they're high-fiving each other.
42:00They're making history here.
42:03And Tanaka does knock down a two-point basket.
42:06But it is not enough.
42:08It has been all Hungry.
42:11As they have punched their ticket to the quarterfinals.
42:17As you see them celebrating.
42:19Final score.
42:21Hungry.
42:2284.
42:23For Japan, 63.
42:26As they have qualified.
42:28They will advance.
