Japan's strong team Denso defeated Hungary DVTK in Park Shin-ja Cup and confirmed its advance to the semifinals





Japan's Denso has confirmed its advance to the semifinals of the Park Shin-ja Cup.

Denso beat Hungary's DVTK all the time in the Group B preliminary round of the '2025 BNK Financial Park Shin-ja Cup' held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 3rd, winning a great victory of 80-58. Denso, who won three consecutive games, was the first to reach the semifinals in Group B regardless of the remaining match against KB Stars in Korea. If you beat KB Stars, you will reach the semifinals as No. 1 in the group and No. 2 in the group. If he rises to first place, he will meet Fujitsu of the same league, who is expected to be second in Group A, and if he finishes second, he will compete with Spain's Zaragoza, who is confirmed to be first in Group A.




DVTK, who is tall but lacking in strength, was not Denso's opponent. Denso, the runner-up in the Japanese W-League playoffs last season, pushed DVTK from the beginning as a strong team with four Japanese national teams who recently participated in the FIBA Asia Cup in Shenzhen, China.

The first quarter was slightly ahead 22-17, but in the second quarter, eight players joined the score evenly, scoring 25 points, and leading 47-25 in the first half, effectively taking the lead.

In the third quarter, the shot success rate was not good, but the difference was maintained by sticking to the basic play of making all eight free throws by aggressive targeting of the paint zone, which remained largely unchanged in the fourth quarter. Takada Maki, the national center, and forward Yabu Minami stepped down to the bench early with 13 points each, and 10 players played evenly for at least 10 to 20 minutes, saving their physical strength.




On the other hand, DVTK won 78-73 after struggling with KB Stars' outposts in the first Group B match on the 30th of last month, but lost 63-70 in the second game against Shinhan Bank on the 1st, failing to effectively prevent the outposts, and was defeated again on the same day, and experiencing a harsh taste of Asian basketball. As a result, if the KB Stars do not lose to Denso by a wide margin, they will likely be the only invited team from overseas to fail to reach the semifinals.
