Group E, Day 2: Korea vs. Chinese-Taipei

[ARISTOTLE]

No. Had CT won the standings would be

Korea 3-1 game vs Iran tomorrow
Phils 2-2 gm vs Kuwait tom
CT 2-2 gm vs Japan tom

Quotient system
Korea +13 (won by 13)
CT -7 (lost by 7) won by 2 = -5
Phil -6 (lost by 13, won by 7, 13-7=6)

We had a close shave. Whew.

I think its the winner over the other rule. And if the quotient is done, a big win over kuwait will cancel the win over korea. Too bad CT lost.

quotient won't be applied. it's the winner over the other rule

Thats why i said C-Taipei would have bumped us to 4th place in a possible 3-way tie.

if they win by Korea today by 2 points:
-7 + 2 = -5

-5 > -6 C-Taipei would have been no.3

ah ok, thought you included today's match as well.

it would have been a triple tie at 3-2 kor phils c-t.

[don juan]

it would have been a triple tie at 3-2 kor phils c-t.

well, if you assume that korea and japan lose tomorrow

[IYF]

-6 is greater then - 10 dude. So RP still is number 3.

Ok. Thanks Korea, no need for tiebreakers.

[don juan]

Ok. Thanks Korea, no need for tiebreakers.

i don't think korea played to win or lose because, win or lose, they'd still be in third place

[art00]

Now, to continue playing what if...

... What if RP wins over Kuwait tomorrow... and...

... What if Jordan wins over China tomorrow (not a remote possibility)...

Then RP could be facing China in the Quarterfinals...

if jordan wins then jordan is better that china, so we get to play against the "weaker" team...

i hope china won't intentionally lose this one just to avoid playing against their brothers in taiwan

Korea got the offensive rebound after the missed FT.

Still, Wu Tai Hao's dunk is so far the best of the tournament.

The mainland Chinese are cheering for the Taiwanese.

No replay on the dunk.

korea may have a good record now in the Fiba asia tourny but they're always getting pawned in some highlight reel plays(baguio sick cross over and this)..lol peace...

[durden_tyler]

After the close losses by Taiwan i think i'd want to cheer for them now. Such heartbreak games! Taiwan vs. China is also very, very interesting

[sinobball]

barely defeated

LMAO

But seriously, Taiwan's media usually refers to these 4 players as the "F4": Chen "Flight" Hsin-An (absent), Lin "Beast" Chih-Chieh, Tseng "caveman (Ok he's not referred to as such in Chinese)" Wen-Ting and Tien "Warrior" Lei. Sorry no soup for you Wu "Ha posterizer" Tai-Hao.
