Although the Philippines came up short versus China, 80-82, in the former’s second match of the 2018 Asian Games’ men’s basketball competition, we had our chance to win it but Paul Lee missed a late triple attempt. But I love the game plan cooked up by the coaching staff, which was to go inside and wear out their bigs and to keep the game close. Good show, I must say, loss aside. With that out of the way, here are our thoughts about the match: It was quite a debut for Jordan Clarkson Clarkson finished with 28 points (on 10-25 field goal shooting and 3-6 free throws), eight rebounds and four assists. Clarkson’s scoring effort ties the best debut by a reinforcement player for the Philippines. Andray Blatche also finished with 28 points against Croatia during an 81-78 overtime loss in the 2014 FIBA World Cup (he also added 12 rebounds and one steal). CJ Giles, the first naturalized player for the Philippines under the Gilas program, scored 19 points in his debut in a 90-76 win over Sangmoo Korea during the 20th FIBA Asia Champions Cup. Marcus Douthit got a win in his Gilas debut — the 2011 FIBA Asia Championships — where he tallied 13 points, five rebounds and two blocked shots in a 92-52 win over the United Arab Emirates in the 2011 FIBA Asia Championships. Serbian Milan Vucecivic, Gilas’ third import, scored 9 points during an 86-58 hammering by Al Rayyan Qatar during the 2010 FIBA Asia Champions Cup. I am not sure how to measure Jamal Sampson’s debut because he was listed in his first game during the 2010 Dubai Invitational but did not get off the bench citing an injury. Or that he played during Gilas’ stint in the PBA and scored four points in his debut. Nevertheless, it was forgettable. So, only two players had wins during their debuts — CJ Giles and Marcus Douthit. Clarkson had an incandescent third period where he singlehandedly brought the Philippines within a bucket of overhauling China’s lead. He ran out of steam in the fourth period as he battled cramps. It was his foul where China’s Zhoa hung the winning free throws. But I like his ability to attack and create for his teammates. The more competitive games he plays with the nationals, the team can only get better. Most of the first half, China had single coverage on him, but come the third, he was drawing double teams. It would be interesting to see how teams play him from here on. China’s Twin Towers gave us trouble China’s two bigs — NBA players both — Zhou Qi who is with the Houston Rockets and Wang Zhelin who is with the Memphis Grizzlies — had monster games. The 22-year old Zhou finished with 25 points, 12 rebounds, seven blocks, two assists and one steal! While the 24-year-old Wang finished with 13 points and seven boards. I would like to correct some of the views I have seen about this being a learning experience for the Philippines. I can say the same about China, which fielded a much younger team and without some of their other regulars. It was a learning experien
The addition of the Cleveland Cavaliers' Jordan Clarkson to the lineup wasn't quite enough on Tuesday as Philippines lost 82-80 to China in a Group D game at the Asian Games. The U.S.-born Clarkson holds a Philippines passport and received last-minute permission from the NBA to play in the Asian Games, but missed the Philippines' opening victory over Kazakhstan. He had 28 points and helped his team take the lead in the fourth quarter before committing a foul that allowed China to take a two-point lead with seconds on the clock. Paul Dalistan missed 3-point attempt with about five seconds left that could have won it for the Philippines. Zhou Qi, the 2.17-meter (7-foot-1) Houston Rockets center, had 25 points and 12 rebounds to lead a China squad containing two NBA players. China faces Kazakhstan on Thursday. And despite the loss, the Philippines should reach the quarterfinals.
Powerhouse China turned back a pesky Philippine side, 82-80, in Group D play of the 2018 Asian Games men’s basketball tournament Tuesday night at the Gelora Bung Karno Basketball Hall, in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Chinese, who sat squarely on the driver seat for the first three quarters, leaned on Zhou Qi for a cushion against the hastily-assembled Filipino squad. But the Philippines, bolstered with National Basketball Association cager Jordan Clarkson, patiently chafed on the lead. The Filipino-American led a blistering outing in the second frame that saw the Nationals hold down perennial Asian Games hoops champions to just 16 points. With barely a week in training with his fellow Filipinos, Clarkson helped the squad tie the game at 55 in the third quarter. Stanley Pringle’s brilliant and equally blurry slashing play buoyed the team in the final frame. PBA rookie Christian Standhardinger added in the effort as the Filipinos took over the driver seat at the 3:09 mark via the Fil-German big man's free throw. Pringle, the top scorer in the win over Kazakhstan last Thursday, hiked the lead just as their assignments kept them within striking range, digging the team out of a what was once a 12-point rut. Zhou and Zhao Rui remained unfazed under pressure as they went on to help China knot the game anew — this time, at 80 and with just 46 ticks left on the clock. Zhao’s productive trip from the charity stripe gave China a two-point lead to enjoy as the game wound down. He accounted for four points in the crucial turnaround along with a momentum-swinging steal. Paul Lee, who made a couple of booming triples to help the momentum swing to the Filipinos’ favor had another clean look within the final six seconds of the game, but his shot was just too strong. The Filipinos, despite the loss, are assured of a berth in the next round of hostilities barring any major upset when China takes on Kazakhstan on Thursday. The Scores China - Zhou 25, Wang 13, Abudurexiti 12, Zhao 11, Ding 7, Sun 6, Liu 5, Fang 2, Dong 1 Philippines - Clarkson 28, Standhardinger 18, Pringle 14, Lee 10, Erram 6, Almazan 2, Belga 2, Norwood 0, Ahanmisi 0, Yap 0, Taulava 0 Quarter scores: 20-12, 36-31, 59-57, 82-80
Sorry loss for Gilas Pilipinas. The Philippines broke down in the final minute as China escaped with a pulsating 82-80 win in the 2018 Asian Games Tuesday at the GBK Basket Hall in Jakarta, Indonesia. Trailing for most of the game, Gilas looked like it was on its way to victory after taking an 80-77 lead with 1:23 to go following an undergoal stab from Stanley Pringle. However, that proved to be the last score for the Philippines as China took advantage of Gilas breaking down in multiple possession to steal the win. Zhou Qi first split his free throws with 1:12 to go to put China within two, 78-80. The Chinese then forced a turnover on Gilas that led to a fastbreak layup for Zhao Rui to tie the game at 80 in the last 46 seconds. Gilas had the chance to put the game away for good but Jordan Clarkson and Christian Standhardinger each missed decent attempts at the rim. Jordan then gave up a foul to Zhao and the Chinese guard ended up hitting two clutch free throws for the game's final tally. Paul Lee missed a final triple attempt for Gilas with six seconds to go as China completed its great escape. After a quick 5-0 start, Gilas trailed China for most of the game as Zhou Qi dominated on both ends of the floor. The 22-year-old Houston Rocket had 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 blocks at halftime. Zhou went on to finish with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 blocks to lead the Chinese. Wang Zhelin added 13 points while Abudushalamu Abudurexiti scored 12 points. Game hero Zhao Rui had 11. Wang led the China offense to start the third as they tried to put Gilas away. However, Clarkson exploded for the Philippines, unloading 16 points including three straight triples that allowed Gilas to tie things up at 55. In the fourth, it was Abudurexiti's turn to dominate for the Chinese, helping the Great Wall re-establish a 10-point lead, 72-62. Clarkson went scoreless in the fourth and ultimately dealt with cramps. In his place, Paul Lee and Stanley Pringle went off to put the Philippines in position to win. Pringle beat Zhou at the rim to push Gilas within three, 71-74 with 4:21 to go. Lee then buried a tough three-pointer at the shotclock buzzer to tie the game at 74 about 45 seconds later. Standhardiner finally gave the Philippines the lead anew, 76-74, after a perfect trip to the line with 3:09 to go. Clarkson finished with 28 points in his Gilas debut while Standhardinger scored 18 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench. Pringle and Lee dropped 14 and 10 points respectively. Despite the loss, the Philippines is expected to move on to the next round however, Gilas is on a collision course with old nemesis South Korea in the knockout quarterfinals. The Scores: CHINA, 82 - Zhou 25, Wang 13, Abudurexiti 12, Zhao 11, Ding 7, Sun 6, Lui 5, Tian 2, Dong 1. PHILIPPINES, 80 - Clarkson 28, Standhardinger 18, Pringle 14, Lee 10, Erram 6, Belga 2, Almazan 2. Quarterscores: 20-12, 36-31, 59-57, 82-80
China escaped Jordan Clarkson and the Philippines, 82-80, to open its basketball campaign in the 2018 Asian Games at GBK Basketball Hall in Jakarta, Indonesia. Jordan Clarkson battled an apparent case of cramps in the fourth quarter but kept the Filipinos in the fight after three quarters where he scored much of his game-high 28 points in his Philippine debut. The Philippines took an 80-77 edge after a fearless drive by Stanley Pringle with only 1:23 left before China, behind Zhao Rui, rallied and ended the game on a 5-0 spurt. Paul Lee who, along with Christian Standhardinger and Pringle, stepped up when Clarkson was on the bench in the crucial stages of the fourth quarter, had a great look but just couldn’t get the potential game-winning triple to go as China ran the clock out. Zhou Qi led the Chinese on both ends as he and fellow big man Wang Zhelin gave the Philippines’ fits with the Houston Rockets center scoring 25 points. With the Philippines dropping to 1-1 and China tipped to beat Kazakhstan in its next game, the Filipinos will likely face another fierce rival in South Korea in the knockout stage. The Philippines blew out Kazakhstan, 96-59, on Thursday. Standhardinger, who was unfazed by the bigger Chinese big men, finished with 18 points while Pringle and Lee contributed 14 and 10 points, respectively.

Ma Long (Beijing) vs Lin Gaoyuan (Guangdong) in Chinese National Games 2017. Beijing (D2) 1:3 Guangdong (B1) 1) Wang Chuqin 0:3 Lin Gaoyuan (7:11, 4:11, 10:12) 2) Ma Long 3:0 Zhou Qihao (11:8, 11:9, 11:9) 3) Yan An 1:3 Zhang Chao (4:11, 12:10, 6:11, 10:12) 4) Ma Long 2:3 Lin Gaoyuan (9:11, 12:10, 11:5, 12:14, 4:11) In fans meeting of China Open this June, Ma Long answered his fan's question about next goals. "Next, it is most important to stay healthy. That's my first goal. My second goal is to keep my athlete career as long as possible." We all wish he can fulfill his goals! But back to reality: in 2016, only one cortisone injection was reported on his wrist, before the Asia Olympic Qualification Tournament in April. So far in 2017, four injections were reported, one on hip joint, one on elbow and two on wrist. An injection on May 19 before he headed for WTTC. Ma Long was watching comedy show to distract himself from the pain. Getting old, tight competition schedules and ball change (ABS balls gave Ma Long some hard time and 729 seamless ball is used for the current National Games) are inevitable. ►SUBSCRIBE ├ coach EmRatThich └ https://goo.gl/mka8fH ►CONTACT ├ ask me any question └ https://www.facebook.com/EmRatThichVo
