BUSAN, South Korea -- Yao Ming and China were upset by South Korea 102-100 in overtime of the gold medal basketball game at the Asian Games.

Yao, taken first overall in the 2002 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets, had 23 points and 22 rebounds for China, which led 84-71 with slightly more than three minutes left.

Lee Kyu-sup's basket in the final seconds of regulation time tied the game at 90.

The Koreans led throughout the five-minute overtime and China's Li Nan missed a desperation shot at the buzzer.

China's other NBA center, Menk Bateer of the San Antonio Spurs, played less than five minutes and scored just four points.

The last time China lost an Asian Games men's basketball final was also against South Korea, in 1982.
