South Korea turned to suffocating defense to put the clamps on defending champion China to pull out a thrilling 63-59 upset on opening day of the FIBA Asia Championship on Thursday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

China struggled all game against the South Korean defense, which turned the match into a low-scoring struggle using a variety of full-court traps and zone schemes.

South Korea was still leading in the fourth quarter, 48-44, before former NBA player Yi Jianlian took over. He scored the next nine points for his team to help China grab a 53-52 advantage with 3:11 left in the game.

Zhou Peng hit two free throws to give China a 55-52 cushion, before Kim Joo-sung responded for South Korea with a three-point play over Yi to tie the game at 55-all at the 2:08 mark of the game.

After the teams traded defensive stops, Kim got a crucial steal leading to China committing an unsportsmanlike foul on Donggeun Yang, who nailed two free throws for a 57-55 advantage.

But South Korea squandered its extra possession, throwing the ball away. Zhu Fangyu nailed two free throws in the ensuing play to tie the game at 57-all with 40.5 seconds left.

Cho Sungmin drew a foul on Zhu in the next play, hitting two charity baskets for a 59-57 lead with 31.5 seconds left. South Korea foiled China’s next set, and Cho scored two more free throws for a 61-57 lead with 21.5 seconds left.

But China was not done, with Liu Xiaoxu drawing a foul and scoring on a drive to the basket. But the Chinese guard missed his bonus free throw, forcing China to foul South Korea once more.

Donggeun nailed two more free throws, giving South Korea a 63-59 edge with 13.8 seconds left to ice the ballgame.

Kim led South Korea with 15 points, while Cho and Donggeun added 12 and 11, respectively.

Yi posted 23 points and 10 rebounds to lead China, which missed all 14 of its three-point attempts during the game.

South Korea is up for another test on Friday when it takes on Iran in continuing Group C action, while China will battle minnow Malaysia earlier in the day.

sana maganda laro ng Gilas mamaya against Jordan kasi kung hindi, baka masabunutan ko si coach Chot, hahahaha. .

seriously, sana tambakan nila ang Jordan para medyo kabahan din malalakas na team sa atin, kasi kung pagbasehan natin ang unang game ng pinas, aba'y panis, di tayo kakatakutan ng mga ibang elite team nyan pag nagkataon.

Despite rousing win over Jordan, Gilas Pilipinas ‘still not happy,’ says coach Chot Reyes

FIBA Asia/Nuki Sabio

The Philippine national men’s basketball team pulled out a rousing 77-71 victory over Jordan on Friday to kick its FIBA Asia Championship campaign in high gear, but coach Chot Reyes is far from satisfied.

“Still not happy. We can be happy on August 11. Today I think we’re fooling ourselves if we allow ourselves to be happy,” said the Gilas Pilipinas coach, whose team bucked a slow start in the first half before exploding in the third quarter.

“There’s a lot of room for improvement. But our theme is ‘better.’ Just to keep getting better every game because in the pre-game I reminded my players, this isn’t a sprint. This is going to be a long drawn-out race. And the way to go deep in this race is to continue to get better.

“And I felt we were better tonight than last night. Hopefully we can be better tomorrow.”

Gilas was decidedly better in its second outing, playing intense defense in the third period to open up the match against the larger Jordan squad. The players got a bit of a tongue-lashing from Reyes at halftime.

“You cannot print what I told them at halftime,” said Reyes, who noted that the coaching staff also made some changes when it comes to X’s and O’s.

“We just did a couple of adjustments on defense and then on offense I told them to see the floor a little bit better and anticipate the defensive tendency of the other team. They have a very specific defensive tendency that we were trying to beat by ourselves too much. But when we figured it out finally then I thought the offense flowed a lot smoother.”

Gilas busted the Jordan zone, shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc for the game despite having a difficult time scoring in the paint in the first half.

But it was at the other end of the floor where Gilas made hay, forcing 17 turnovers and allowing Jordan to shoot just 39 percent from the field.

“The key was defense, when we were making stops, it allowed us to get out and run. When they were scoring in the first half they were able to impose their own pace,” said Reyes.

“We had to force them to play at our pace.”

Naturalized swingman Jimmy Baxter, who exploded for 30 points in his first outing, was limited to just 14.

“Gabe Norwood did a hell of a job on Jimmy Baxter tonight. But we also thought that after playing close to 36 minutes last night, he might not be as effective. But still, you can’t take anything away from Gabe,” said Reyes.
