In front of a stronger opponent in many aspects, the Vietnam men's 3x3 basketball team could not make a surprise in the semi-finals even though they played better at times.

Entering the semi-finals of the men's 3x3 basketball against a strong opponent, the host Cambodia, Vietnam Tel suddenly entered the game better with Justin Young's long throw and Khoa Tran's breakthrough later.

The home team of the 32nd SEA Games was somewhat out of tune in the first ball situations, but it didn't take long to revive the squad and take the lead.

However, the middle of the match belonged to the defending runner-up. After a while of chasing, the Saigon Heat duo Nguyen Huynh Phu Vinh and Vo Kim Ban started to play, continuously launched long throws to help the Vietnamese team regain the game and came close to winning with a score of 3. number 17-13.

However, Cambodia proved to be a stronger team. The naturalized players of the home team pull the rope 7 points continuously to get match points. And although Tran Dang Khoa entered the field to help Vietnam Tel play well and shorten the gap to 1 point, but Phu Vinh's subsequent loss of defense led to a decisive score for Cambodia.

Losing 19-21, coach Le Tran Minh Nghia's teachers and students were unable to defend the silver medal. However, they still have a chance to win a medal on Phnom Penh soil, when they reunite with Thailand in the 3rd place match.

Still using the lineup that was crowned at the Thanh Tri National Stadium, the representative of the Golden Temple country continuously led with a long distance at the beginning of the match. However, Freddie Lish and his teammates were unable to protect their advantage and let the match against the Philippines drag into extra time, only to lose 19-21.
