Battle for 3rd: Chinese Taipei vs. South Korea

[Alex07]

Very poor defense from Chinese Taipei. To beat this Korean team, you need to be physical all the way.

I agree..IMO Taipei is more gifted than PHL offensively having more shooters.If you want the Koreans to miss their shots,you have to be less a meter on their face all the time.

Korea's defense is suffocating Taiwan.

True but Taiwan was gasping before SK stepped up their defense... I think TPE gave it all, and more, against China.

Poor CT, playing the 2 best defensive teams back to back.... Hope they get a wildcard for FIBA World Cup.

I don't think he is still a college player. from what i have read he applied for the NBA Draft last year and went undrafted.

Too much Kim Min Goo. Can't believe this is just a college player. Definitely a superstar in the making.

Min-Goo is still in college with Kyung-Hee university.

There's no excuse to explain their sloppiness. Not even fatigue. Ugly game now.... TPE not even able to accelerate and take risks.

Congratulations to Korea and props to Chinese Taipei for their moments in this tournament. Way better than 2009.

did he really applied for the NBA Draft?

Min-Goo is still in college with Kyung-Hee university.

Congratulations to Korea! Taipei looked gassed. After averaging 86 PPG in their first 7 games, they only scored 60 and 57 against Iran and Korea respectively for an average of 58.5 PPG in their last 2 games.

Congrats to Korea

No he did not. Real GM's resident Asian scout just projects and predicts Asian prospect base on their eligibility. Kang Sang-Jae is listed in Real GM for 2016 Draft.

Well I think this game just showed that CT is still a tier-2 team in Asia even with so many FIBA veterans on their team.

Still, I'm sure they are more than satisfied with their 2013 campaign beating 2 arch-rivals Philippines and China.

So where is Kim Min Goo playing now?

[logbi77]

Kim Min-Goo last 2 games average: 24 PPG, 17-29 FG, 10-21 3 PT FG

Lin Chih-Chieh last 2 games average: 1.5 PPG, 1-12 FG, 1-9 3 PT FG, 4 TPG

So where is Kim Min Goo playing now?

He is still in college with some units left. Will play for Kyung-Hee in the College winter league and for the All Korea Cup.
