ASIAN GAMES: Heartbreak for Philippines as China escapes with win in Clarkson's Gilas debut
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.

FC Bayern Basketball - s.Oliver Baskets VII
Im 4. Viertel machten die Würzburger da weiter wo sie im 3. Viertel aufeghört hatten. Denn im 3. Viertel kamen sie durch unter anderem 2 wilden Jeka-Dreiern bis auf 6 Punkte heran. Das Spiel wurde spannend, doch Bayern hielt seinen Vorsprung im 4. Viertel konstant auf 4-7 Punkten. Doch als in der 37. Minute ein ganz wilder Dreier, von NATÜRLICH Lee Jeka,1, Meter hinter der Linie zum Shotclock-Buzzerbeater reinfiel, der zum 67:68 verkürzte, rasteten die Würzburger Fans halb aus. Jedoch fand Dirk Bauermann in einer Auszeit die richtigen Worte und die Oldies der Bayern, Steffen Hamann und Alex Nadjfeij starteten einen 7:2 Lauf kurz vor Ende des Spiels. Nach 2 Airballs der Baskets, von der Dreierlinie, halfen ihnen nurnoch Fouls. Aber die nervenstarken Spieler Bastian Doreth und Jonathan Wallace trafen 5 von 6 Freiwürfen und damit war das Spiel entschieden. Jedoch als Sascha Kesselring, 1 sec vor Spielende einen Korbleger zum Endstand 82:75 traf, stand fest dass die Baskets den direkten Vergleich gewonnen hatten, da die Bayern ja in Würzburg mit 63:55 verloren. Also, wer an diesem denkwürdigen Sonntag nicht in der Olympiahalle war, hat echt eines der größten Basketballspiele ganz Deutschland verpasst. 12.200 Zuschauer, davon ca. 2000 Würzburger, die gut Stimmung machten. Ein bisschen enttäuscht bin ich von den Bayernfans, die wirklich nicht viel "Lärm" gemacht haben. Aber alleine, dass 12.000 Zuschauer in der monstermäßigen Olympiahalle waren, hat mich fasziniert. Der beste Werfer der Münchner war Jonathan Wallace mit 22 Punkten, 4 Rebounds, 2 Assists, 2 Steals und 3 Dreiern. Auch zu erwähnen ist Steffen Hamann, der mit 16 Punkten, 1 Rebounds, 9 Assists und einer 100%-igen Freiwurfquote (6/6) ebenfalls auf Münchner Seite überzeugte. Auf Seiten der Würzburger traf Lee Jeka am besten mit 25 Punkten, 6 Rebounds, 4 Assists, 2 Steals und ebenfalls 3 Dreiern.
