In men's basketball, China have defeated defending champions South Korea to reach the semifinals of the Doha Asian Games.

Four years ago, China lost to South Korea during over-time in the final of the Busan Asian Games.

Not wanting a repeat of that game, China got their first shot through Zhu Fangyu's 3-pointer to start their comeback. But South Korea kept themselves in the game with former NBA player, Ha Seung Jin to dominate inside.

In the third quarter, NBA prospect Yi Jianlian helped China keep the lead with two steals and one shot.
