Day 3, Round 1: Group A: India - Japan

tactics bro, Japan although has soft players has better game plan.. India has nothing on it.. Now Palestine has a good chance to defeat this Indian team without Scott Fleming..

This is someone's siggy, but anyways:

74-58 Japan. I'm interested on how would this Japanese team fare against Palestine.

No matter how soft the Japanese bigs are, tactics with ample atalent would always beat talent without cohesiveness..

japan beats palestine in my opinion with this showing by the japanese. impeccable outside shooting and great defense but india really had only the two big men to trouble them

Joji Takeuchi went BEAST MODE on the Indian bigs for 22 points and 19 rebounds, one rebound away from a 20-20.

See the difference from their play compare to jones cup.. they still soft but now plays with more diin in them..Its a sight to see a team who really prioritizes team work over talent as the top Japanese local last season Kanamaru was cut in the final lineup..

but india could'nt really pressure them, not enough firepower for the indians, very simple plays for them. when the japanese solved the indian offense it was all over.
