China needs to win by at least 8 to stay alive. Russia ain't that safe either.

I'm new here, who is Polar bear ? who is Panda ? :D

good luck China, you can beat Russia but 8pts difference is a little hard, I believe you had the exact same situation with Slovenia 4 years ago, right ? and a 3 by Wang Shipeng sent Puerto Rico home, but now you need 8pts or more.

Holy Sh#$, thats so true!:eek:
 
Extremely low scoring first quarter.

On the positive side, Guo Ailun is on the court to give some fouls as Donewald goes full court press.
 
Referees dominating the game, whistling on almost every possession. Well at least the score would have been even lower if not for free throws.

It's nice to see Guo Ailun getting meaningful minutes but he played out of control. Yu Shulong finally proved why he deserved to be on the squad with a couple nice baskets.

End of first: 21-15 China. China shooting 36%FG so you can imagine how Russia shoots (22%)

I think Guo playe pretty well,his defense is decent.
Yu has a big heart.
 
It seems Bob isn't eager to win this game...Even Jin Lipeng gets minutes in the key time....Totally can't understand his thoughts....
 
Come on China!!!We need you to win this one!37-38 now.

Is bet365 working for you guys?

I think he knows what he's doing. This is a very physical game (the Russians are big and contest all shots) and he wants to use full court press at the end if necessary. Second quarters are usually the period to try some players and Jin didn't play that many minutes anyway. He likely won't play again this game.

Guo Ailun had a nice dish to Wang Zhizhi and seemed to play with great confidence like he always does. China regains the lead by halftime, 43-40.
 
The difference bettween the two young guards , Guo Ailun and Yu Shulong ,is strength.I start rooting for Guo now.
Yu has great shooting ability and his court vision as a PG is OK,but he lacks so much in strength,he may be great in CBA where is definitely not focus on body contact.
