Confrontation Review
China and the Philippines met a total of 13 times in the Asian Championships, the predecessor of the Men's Basketball Asian Cup, with the Chinese team having the upper hand with 10 wins and 3 losses. The most recent confrontation between the two sides was the 2015 Asian Championship final, when the Chinese team defeated the Philippines 78-67 and directly qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Guo Ailun scored a game-high 19 points in that game.
Philippine Men's Basketball Analysis
As the runner-up in the last competition, the strength of the Philippine team going to Lebanon this time can be said to be greatly reduced. The most important reason is the absence of the team's number one superstar Blatche.
In addition, Fayado, who is 2.10 meters tall and has won the Philippine League MVP three times, has also been troubled by injuries. There are problems with the two major inside players in the team, and Philippine coach Reyes is also a little helpless.
The Philippine team's inside attack may rely on the 2.03-meter-tall Stanhardinger, a 28-year-old German-Filipino mixed-race player who once played in the German league. However, many of the Philippines' outside shooters are not absent. William, Abueva and Matthew Wright are all on the team.
Chinese Men's Basketball Team
Under the promotion of Yao Ming, the new national men's basketball team is divided into red and blue teams. Among them, the men's blue team led by Du Feng is represented in this Asian Cup. Since the training camp in May this year, the blue team has played 13 warm-up matches. Except for the second training match against New Zealand that was interrupted for three quarters, the 12 games ended with 7 wins and 5 losses, which played a role in fine-tuning the lineup and enhancing confidence. effect.
