This is basically the final for South Korea and New Zealand. If New Zealand beat Korea today, they will secure the World Championship. Korea can do the same if they win. New Zealand don't have a good offensive end but the defense is very good. They score 59,3 points on average, which is less than any other team. Their three-point percentage is 22 percent (also worst than any other team) and they shoot 36,1 percent from the floor. They averaged 59,3 points and allowed 58,3 in the group with China, Taipei and North Korea. They went at 112 with Taipei, who are most similar to Korea. South Korea were in a more competitive group with Japan and Australia and had 36,8 percent shooting. Some important players are clearly missed. They played at 126 against run and gun Japan and 132 against Australia. Last year in the Olympic qualifiers in the key game they lost to Belarus 39-56. This is another key game and I don't think it will fall apart. I think Korea with struggle with their opponents' toughness. At the same time, New Zealand cannot get their numbers significantly higher.
