FIBA ASIA Cup Qualifiers

Korea heating up from deep and the Boomers playing gigil.

This game between Korea and Australia reminds me of the game between Korea and New Zealand in the very first game of the qualifying windows in 2017.

SoKors defense.. wow..

 

[ja.he2]

I don't know but I was never really impressed with Goorjian. Lemanis set plays are far better.

I really like this Korea team. None of the overpassing and chucking that Pinoys got accustomed to. They're just big, tough, very aggressive, and play simple basketball.

Actually, I am impressed with how the Koreans are making the lives of Australians difficult in the offensive end.

Is it just me - Australia looks shorter or the Koreans became taller?

Because way back in 2014, Goulding, Delly, Ingles, Bairstow, Newley, Brock, Andersen, Baynes, Exum and Andersen were dwarfing the Koreans.

6'1 PG, 6'3 SG, 6'7 wing, 6'6 Ratliffe, 6'9 big. That's not big, but they look long especially the guards.

people here wanted him out since last year after the world cup

Cardo is 6’8

lol... Boomers using big dick energy now. btw that police siren on the scorer's bench for a bell is just so annoying.

6'1 PG, 6'3 SG, 6'7 wing, 6'6 Ratliffe, 6'9 big. That's not big, but they look long especially the guards.

So, the Australians are the ones that looks shorter. It seems that they are using the three-guard combination.

Based on eye test, Lemanis's rotation and plays are impressive. Goorj's plays are eyesore - looks motion-type to me. Goorj's was just in a great position to win the bronze with their line-up in 2021.

Goorjan really going asian with his schemes he is using 3 guard lineup, see just one minute.. they cant create a play without a tough nig in ra..

If it's from the Philippine Star written by some guy named Quinito Henson, y'all know his M.O.

Put a wing as tall as Slowmo Joe or Josh Giddey and the lead will be 20 points easy.

 

[paolylo2]

Boomers now shooting lights out.

 

[Silent Killer2]

74-65.. Koreans are missing shots

 

[ja.he2]

I am right after all - Koreans will be gassed out in the end.

Toughness and aggressiveness should be relatable traits to Filipinos, since we like those traits in basketball players. Thing is, the aggressiveness and firepower on offense is the most attractive to us when making top teams, not really toughness, aggressiveness, and IQ on defense.
