Fiba World Cup 2023 Philippines

NZ having a hard time with China's height so far.

NZ playing really sloppy. I count 10 turnovers and the 1st half is not even over yet. They now have more TOs than China. They have the speed advantage but they haven't capitalized on it.

Just realized how small this NZ team is. Probably even smaller than us. Either that or China is just huge. LOL

NZ coach looks like a high school physics teacher.. lol

It seems China has not integrated Kyle into their offense. He just seems lost out there. The offense doesn't even run through him.

Slow ugly game so far with so many turnovers and fouls. Shooting has been bad for both sides.

I think that is the problem with Slowmo. He is best when he is handling the ball. He doesnt have extraordinary athleticism or scoring ability. He is not really a stopper. He is a guy who does a lot of things decently but nothing excellently. Of course the more his teammates play with him the better they'll become. I hope though it doesn't happen until the WC is finished.

NZ playing like Gilas down the stretch.... All ISOs and very few ball movement.

Kyle Anderson wins it for China with a defensive play, a steal off an inbound with 9secs remaining. What a meltdown by NZ.

China deserves this win. They fought hard for it. NZ looked out of sync althroughout.

The win almost validate coach quality's job in china

China missed 10 free throws.. this isnt even close

If we go up against China we cannot let Zhou Qi get the ball. If he does get the ball, it will be a Hack-A-Zhou.

Germany is fun to watch. They have chemistry and cohesion. Canada is basically Team USA minus the defense.

Schroeder turns into Tony Parker in FIBA Basketball.

Zach Edey finally playing for Canada.

Seems another favor w/ gilas… if these two will clash in classification… clarkson will toy around Anderson… while why on a hell coach djorkevic not using Anderson properly? He’s a nba guy and can dominate if he wants to… sometimes too much European plays hinder the development of guys are not comfortable with their plays…

It seems D’Admiral aka analyze now hiding after consecutive losses of NZL against Asian teams… Asian teams knows now how to beat NZL already… don’t be surprised if Jordan will beat NZL too…

Kai, Edu and Junmar can handle Zhou in a single coverage… Zhou is not a power player… he still not improving even after series of opportunities he have from Houston rockets to NBL Australia…

[Giannis34GOD]

Realistic path for Gilas for the lone Olympic slot is to beat Angola, should be treated as a do or die game. DR w/ KAT and Quinones feels like a longshot and Italy well..Then we're off to the classification phase.
We're one of the host but how come China and Iran looks to have a better path for 2 wins?

Because they are the higher ranking Asian teams… higher rank teams getting more favorable groups… japan is also host team but they are in brutal group… Germany and Finland doing good in tune up games…

he's too quick for junmar while junmar is too strong for him

[Giannis34GOD]

he's too quick for junmar while junmar is too strong for him

But zhou qi has no face up drives… he knows only put backs and shooting perimeters… so can’t able to use his quickness … just like in 2018 Asian games, where zhou qi only dominate because gilas bigs are too small for him… but later on, cstand, erram and belga quickly knows that zhou qi is a soft guy…

That's 5 years ago when he was still 22 years old. Zhou Qi has improved his strength, quickness, and his face up game. AJ can easily match him up, Junmar certainly not, he has problem defending players who is quicker and agile than him.
