Warmup game in China: China "B" 96-86 North KoreaOriginally posted by CKR13 View Post
CHN: Tao Hanlin 26, Hu Jinqiu 24
PRK: Kim Chang Myong 31, Choe RR 19, Kim CI 16
Observation: North Korea is no pushover. They are short but play very much like their southern brothers, hustle every possession, run fast breaks well, drive aggressively for open opportunities and chase down loose rebounds like animals. Also like South Korea they have great 3-point shooters all over the floor. I'm very surprised and impressed. They play zone and was able to disrupt the offense of the much taller Chinese by double-teaming bigs and blocking passing lanes, forcing a lot of turnovers.
North Korea had a 1 point lead after 3 quarters, but in the last quarter they had 2-3 players injured and 1-2 players foul out so they collapsed. Their injuries were not surprising because they were extremely aggressive on both ends, dive and battle for rebounds against players much taller and heavier, and they have a very short rotation (7 players before injuries). One of the injured players had a Charley horse for playing too long and too hard.
This China "B" will be playing in FIBA Asia Challenges so their performances can be used to gauge Team North Korea's level. Due to their severe lack of height North Korea is not elite in Asia especially since Asia has so many imports nowadays, but I think they are about 8th-10th if they play in FIBA Asia, with the ability to upset a top team if you take them lightly. However, if you are a top team and prepare for them they shouldn't be too much trouble. But that Kim Chang Myong guy is one hellava scorer.Last edited by sinobball; 08-30-2016, 04:32 PM.aim low, score highComment
