    Pretty clear, even just two games in, Hong Kong is the overmatched team in Group A. Right now it's about positioning for the 2nd round.

      Problem is this Chinese team has virtually no inside presence especially on defense
      Not simply relying on big men for a change might actually help China....

        BTW can anyone explain how qualification works with China given they're already qualified for 2019? If China makes the second round (pretty much a sure thing) will the next best team aside from China make it to the World Cup?

          they will go the 2nd round but if China makes it to top 4 of the 2nd round group. both 4th placers from both groups will qualify for the World Cup.

            Iran is in big trouble and I'm not sure even against Qatar, Haddadi left Iran without even noticing the coach and will not play tomorrow. apparently they expelled Hassanzadeh from the camp. Yakhchali won't be ready and we will have more or less the same roster for the Qatar game. as I said before Mashhoun's resignation created so much problems inside the team. apparently there will be chaos for a while when a dictator goes out. some players love him, some players hate him.

            some "experts" made joke of our Iraq roster, something like out of 12 players we had 8 players for one position (Power forward) and only 4 for other 4 positions ! this is a bit of exaggeration but more or less the truth. they tried to make it better by adding Mirzaei and Rezaeifar for qatar game but still the team is loaded with power forwards !

            watching the Asian qualifiers, stadiums are almost packed everywhere, quite sure we will play in an almost empty stadium tomorrow. (I hope I'm wrong though)

              The top three teams from each of the two groups and the better placed fourth team will make it to the WC. If China is among them, then the other fourth-placed nation will also qualify.


              Big win of Jordan today, unbeaten now in its group.

                Very good win for China, stunning Korea at home. Those aggressive drives cut through Korea's 3-2 zone and it allowed a lot of open shots. China knew that Korea had almost no shot blocking capability when Lee Jong-Hyun is on the floor and that was key as guys like Ding Yanyuhang and Sun Minghui were driving to the basket with wild finishes.

                In this game, China exposed Korea's weaknesses: Lack of shot blockers and how weak individually is the man to man coverage. This is why Korea uses a 3-2 dropzone to cover their weakness.

                    i am planning to watch the game between korea and china and see how china forced korea to use man-to-man. philippines has really a hard time against koreans. i think forcing korea to utilize man-to-man will do wonders for the philippines in the future. philippines has many good one-on-one players and ddo will be effective against man-to-man.

                      In the recent Asia Cup, Gilas had Korea on the ropes with the baseline drives of Castro and his timely assists to Stanhardinger where Korea was exposed defensively on two fronts:

                      1. Weak man to man coverage on a ball handler
                      2. No shot-blocking

                      But then Terrence Romeo's hero ball rendered the dribble drive out of sync and that made Gilas take too many contested shots.

                        Well, terrence romeo, like calvin abueva and andray blatche, is a double-edged sword. He may do wonders with his skills but he may also hurt withsl it. For instance, terrence's heroics propelled gilas to win against more individualistic china but proved to be fatal against team-oriented korea.

                        I'm not solely blame terrence for our loss. I also blame the late entry of junmar fajardo because his entry disrupted the chemistry of an otherwise more mobile gilas team. He is so slow to react in pick and roll. Had he entered at the very first game against china, he could have an opportunity to gel with other players.

                            Ricardo Ratliffe's 'special naturalization' procedure could see a resolution as early as next week:


                            If approved by the ministry of justice, Ratliffe will then take the next steps in attaining a citizenship and Korean passport. Time is of the essence as Korea will need to submit Ratliffe's name to FIBA, where Ministry of Justice and the Korean Sports Commission will allow that if Ratliffe has cleared administrative per-requisites.

                            Meanwhile Ratliffe will return to Samsung after sitting out with a medical hernia. He has been sidelined since mid December and after the All-Star break this weekend, Ratliffe can play.

                              Hyu Watanabe aka Hugh Hogland has been in attendance during the 4 day training camp for the Japanese NT. His availability is clear given that he's serving his red shirt year in Portland. From the workouts, he runs the floor quite well, has a high motor when it comes to beneath the basket position and is more athletic than the ageing Takeuchis and definitely, Ota. What he needs is to build upper body strength as he has trouble finishing amidst contact with Ira Brown and the bruiser Yuya.

                                Ministry of Justice approves the 'special naturalization' procedure and Ratliffe is expected to suit up now.
