24th FIBA-Asia Championship [Jul 28-Aug 5 Japan]

  • Thread starter Thread starter Kings2
  • Start date Start date
Chinese is taking the FIBA Asia to lightly. They are sending boys when they should be sending men. The way I see, based from the team's performance in the Jones Cup and Manila Invitational, its Jordan who's cruise by to the next round, while its a battle between Iran, RP, and China for the remaining slot in the first round of FIBA-Asia. Hey I am not goin to be suprised if they finished 0-3 in their bracket.
 
those Chinese Boys are soon to be the main men of the National Team of PROC.. the way I see it, there is nothing wrong with what they're sending.. It's a message that they are so dominant that even this kids can play at a men's level. soon enough they'll be China's next big thing for sure.
 
I think Lebanon has nothing to hide against the other NT's.
after the Lebanon's big win against France in last year's WBC. other NT's now know who is the man to look after. and what type of play they are executing. even if they have a new coach, they will still rely on their old system.
for the RP NT and the other NT's.. just hold back Fadi El Khatib for less than 18 points and you're in good chance.

that way i see it, These Chinese feels that their China Team A are in a world caliber level now, way way far now in the Asian level of Basketball, thats way they are sending their New/Young talents for exposure and experience. and there is no need for the China Team A to play for the FIBA Asia because they are already seeded in the Olympics, thats why those Team A Players are in the US for a series of Games.

Most likely to win the Asian championship of the tournament

Most likely to win the Asian championship of the tournament

China will not be the first team to participate in this competition, so that no one is invincible team in the competition.

In all probability the team championship:

No. 1 seed : Jordan,
No. 2 seed : South Korean
No. 3 seed : Philippines
No. 4 seed : Lebanon
No. 5 seed : Qatar,
No. 6 seed : Iran
No. 7 seed : China 2 team
No. 8 seed : Japanese
No. 9 seed : Chinese Taipei
No. 10 seed : Kazakhstan
 
PERFORMANCE PERSPECTIVE:

between PHILIPPINES/LEBANON (men,both are sooooo tough!)

J.R. obtains citizenship, to play for national team
July 14, 2007

JR Henderson Naturalized by Japan NT to be officially named as Sakuragi

In a shocking development, 6-year JBL veteran center J.R. Henderson (206-F-76, agency: Paris Global Sports, college: UCLA) of the Aisin Sea Horses obtained Japanese citizenship last week and will suit up for the Japanese national team when they play in the upcoming FIBA Asia Championship from 7/28-8/5 in Tokushima prefecture. This tournament is the 2008 Beijing Olympic qualifier which means that the winner of the tournament will earn the right to represent Asia in the 2008 Summer Olympics along with the host country China.

Henderson, the former UCLA standout who was a member of the 1995 NCAA Championship team and played for the Vancouver Grizzlies of the NBA in the 1998-99 season, will be known as "Sakuragi J.R." from now on. His addition to the national team will no doubt boost Japan's chances of winning the tournament. Henderson had been working on obtaining Japanese citizenship for quite some time and it finally came to fruition last week. It'll be interesting to see how far Henderson/Sakuragi can take the Japanese national team.
 
Lebanon:Joe Vogel
Syria: Correa and i forgot the other one(farhat???? or its the same correa)
JOrdan: Wright
and so on....
and now JApan with SAKURAGI JR. henderson
other teams are recruiting foreign players to beef their teams....

by the time they are pinoy citizen... they have 20% discount on medicines, fare, etc... awwwwww SENIOR CITIZENS ALREADY....

thats the Pinoy way.

Well we can say that lebanon and phillippines are both winning games.....Lebanon won against Venezuala and France in the WBC last year while philippines is winning on division 2 NCAA teams , i wonder who would win in a bball game , an NCAA division 2 team or France NT ? common philippines play some real warm up games not against division 3 and bryon russel(980 yrs old) teams :)
yeah right. :p

yes philippines ur a very strong team with experience u have earned 2 silver medals in asia championship in the last 5 years and 2 wins at WBC last year....oh sorry that was lebanon :) but to be honest ur win against the NCAA 2nd division team is very impressive !!! watch out teams , not only in asia but all over the world hehe :p with 6'9" center asi and 6'3" power forward i dont no wat his name is , philippines are beasts under the basket
this one is funny. :p

4 wins in 5 games against lebanon. the only loss is a hail-mary-a-la-hoy-lucky-three-point-shot.

those 6'3" power forwards were really a beast under the basket. they are doing alley-oop dunks the entire jones cup tourney and also in manila invitational.

have you met our 5'11" shooting guard with a tear drop shot?

how about our 5"7' point guard who's making the 7 footer naturalized american look like a scarecrow?

:p

if im not wrong, this was posted long ago when we still looked like noisy barking dogs .

but we already proved ourselves in recent tourneys so no need for us to mind age-old posts.

our decent 3rd-place finish in Jones Cup and winning the gold here in Manila made us earn respect i guess.
 
hmmmmm i dt even remember posting this must,ve been like 3 or 4 months ago but 1 thing i can say about philippines is that their strength is against lebanon but can they reach the semis to play against lebanon ? cuz they seem to lose against mediocre and bad teams like losing 4 in a row against kazakhaztan

kazakhstan is not really a bad team. they dominated qatar, egypt, USA in qatar invitational. it just happened they played bad early in the part of the jones cup (because of the loss of a team mate and because the team came from a tough tournament). but during their last game, they really wanted to win. their motivation was greater than RP's motivation, as RP relaxed a bit after 3 straight wins over strong teams.

before this loss, all RP losses were close games. their weakness was basically that they can't maintain the lead and close out games. so if RP solves this weakness, they are likely to proceed to the semis in tokushima
