J-Arena S2018E12 - 3x3 Basketball

3x3 basketball will be making its Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020. With roots as a popular street sport, the lightning-speed 3-a-side version of the game uses just a single hoop on a half-court, and players must switch between offense and defense in an instant. We follow the Japan men's team as they try to build on recent Asia Cup bronze medal success at the World Cup. Given the sheer size of overseas players, Japan must rely on speed, skill and shrewd tactics as they take aim at the Olympic podium.
