Liaoning sending its junior team. A win will be a pleasant surprise.
The real Liaoning is currently playing in the Zadar Tournament, where they are getting their asses whooped by Euroleague teams: http://www.zdbt.info/en/sudionici/li...ying-leopards/ (Liaoning is missing 3 starters: Han Dejun, Guo Ailun, Zhao Jiwei, but realistically Euroleague is just too good for them.)aim low, score high

Riyadi don't have any pure center and only one bench player (Rodrigue Akl).
I don't see them winning the title once again.
Petrochimi are maybe my favorite.
As for Korea and Japan, i don't have any idea about their level.
Philipines is not sending their best club (PBA problem ?)
China are sending a Junior team soooo we will just wait and see.

I think even this Riyadi team will manage to win the title easily. Because China sending junior team, and Iran are playing with no foreigners.Unfortunately this tournament is not treated with respect & recognition it deserves.

Yeah it used to be a hell of a tournament the past decade.
But they have to change several things :
1) Two teams from Iran and Lebanon should participate to make the competition more interesting instead of getting the best from each country in the qualifying tournament !
2) East Asia clubs should play with their best teams.
3) Syrian and Jordanian clubs are missed (As a Lebanese, without them (at their top) our level dropped --> correlation ?)
As a sagesse fan, hope that Riyadi will get this title !

Opening day proves its not good level. Taipei beat china by 44. Korea is down to Iran right now by over 20, and iran have 0 foreigners.
not sure what team can challenge this Riyadi, which btw is weak version of Riyadi ( no arakji).
we'll add a championship to our cabinet...

I didn't follow the tournament but I'm surprised Petrochimi is in semifinal. does it mean the other teams are not just good enough ?
Petrochimi Club didn't even want to participate here because of financial reasons but the federation helped them to just send a team because there would be punishment for late withdrawal and they just gathered a team at the airport (mostly from available NT players) and they only have 8 players in their roster . they have 11 on their list but Jamshidi, Dalirzahan and Khalilnejad didn't travel with the team.
and players here for Petrochimi have no contract and they are playing for free.

The problem with lebanese team this year
- arrogrance , thought of it as easy tournament based on last year. came with no preparation at all.
- injuries. wael arakji not playing, jean abdel nour missed 2 games and playing injured 3rd game.
- one foreigner, we couldnt register second foreigner.
- Hayk paperwork. we had a player missing because of his paperwork.
and also riyadi lost some key lebanese players to other lebanese teams like ali haydar.
i thought tournament last year was disastrous, this year even more disastrous. hopefully something must be done.
