Andray Blatche signs with Chinese basketball team


Gilas Pilipinas center Andray Blatche has signed a one-year deal with the Chinese Basketball Association’s Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers

MANILA, Philippines - Fresh off his impressive outing at the FIBA World Cup, Gilas Pilipinas center Andray Blatche has signed a one-year deal with the Chinese Basketball Association’s Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers.
The news was announced on the Twitter account of ASM Sports, which represents the 28-year-old native of Syracuse, N.Y. An email to the team asking for confirmation had not been returned by Sunday morning.
Blatche became a naturalized Filipino citizen earlier this year to bolster the Philippine men’s national basketball team. He normed 21.2 ppg and 13.8 rpg in 5 games, leading Gilas to a 1-4 record in their first World Championship appearance in 36 years. 
Blatche was drafted out of high school in 2005 by the NBA’s Washington Wizards, where he played for seven seasons before moving to the Brooklyn Nets in 2012. Blatche has averaged 10.1 ppg and 5.3 rpg in 564 career games.
Blatche was originally expected to join the Philippine team for the ongoing Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea but was declared ineligible due to the Games’ strict 3-year residency rule for naturalized athletes. He was instead replaced by fellow naturalized player Marcus Douthit.
The 6-foot-10 Blatche will move to the small forward position behind Chinese giants ZhengDong Tang and Wei Su, according to a depth chart on asia-basket.com.
He’ll be joined by fellow NBA free agent Jordan Crawford who averaged 13.7 ppg, 5.7 apg and 3.1 rpg for the Boston Celtics last season.
Last season Xinjiang lost in the CBA Finals to the Beijing Ducks – which is led by former NBA star Stephon Marbury – in six games
Basketball journalist Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the deal is worth $2.5 million and that Blatche can sign with an NBA team by March. The Flying Tigers had previously boasted NBA alums like former All-Star Kenyon Martin and Sacramento Kings guard Quincy Douby. - Rappler.com

Gilas Pilipinas holds off India to open Asian Games basketball campaign


The Gilas Pilipinas national team opened their campaign in the 2014 Asian Games with an 85-76 victory over India on Tuesday in Incheon, South Korea.

The Philippines scored the first 16 points of the game before cruising for most of the match. LA Tenorio opened the Gilas campaign with back to back treys, while sniper Jeff Chan scored eight straight points, inlucding two triples after a Marcus Douthit basket to mount the early cushion.

India finally scored with five minutes left in the opening frame and managed to cut back the lead to 24-16 going into the second, showing their shooting form with three consecutive treys.

June Mar Fajardo and Gary David took charge the following quarter to fuel the inside and outside scoring of Gilas Pilipinas. The Philippines built a 17-point wall at the 2:36 mark off a Douthit basket, but India quickly countered with a triple.

Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes called for a timeout to design a play for the Philippines, and Japeth Aguilar surprised the Indians with an alley-oop right off the bat.

Up 50-37, Gilas Pilipinas continued their offensive assault in the second half. Douthit and Tenorio torched the Indians with 10 unanswered points to give the Philippines a 62-44 margin.

India tried to respond, but Aguilar quelled their hopes for an offensive run with his own baskets and maintained the lead 70-56 going into the fourth.

Gilas had the game in the bag leading by 19 points, 84-65, after a basket by Ranidel De Ocampo in the final frame.

But India was able to give the Philippines a scare, scoring 11 straight points to come within eight, 84-76, with 44 seconds left.

But there wasn't enough time for the South Asian champions to complete their rally, allowing Gilas to escape. Jimmy Alapag iced the game with a split from the free throw line.

Chan and Douthit led Gilas Pilipinas with 14 points each, while David and Fajardo added 13 and 12 markers. Aguilar and Tenorio finished with 10 points apiece.

Douthit and Fajardo took care of the boards, grabbing 10 and nine rebounds, respectively.

Joginder Singh, who scored 13 points for India, slipped in the dying seconds of the game and lay flat on his back in pain. He had to carried out of the court by his teammates and was put in a stretcher after the match.

Amritpal Singh led India with 16 points, while Anjyot Singh tossed in 15. Bhriguvanshi Vishesh and Pratham Singh scored 13 and 11 points.

Gilas figures to be in for a tougher test when it takes on reigning Asian champion Iran on Thursday before moving into the quarterfinal round of the tournament. — JST, GMA News

ANGOLA STILL NUMBER ONE

AFROBASKET LIBYA 2009

ANGOLA 82 - COTE D'IVOIRE 72

Angola proved once again that they're the best on the african continent with no contest by winning the 25th African Championship for Men in Libya.

The first quarter started with the furia of the Ivorians,they came to this big battle without any intimidation, they showed that they wanted that championship title by leading the first quarter with four points ahead (19 - 15)

In the second quarter Amagou Philippe, Eric Tape were unstoppable playing good basket they were all over the court worrying the Angolese and at the half time the board was showing (35 - 34) for the Ivorians.

The third quater has always been for Angola in this Championship they started to find the basket with Carlos Morais who made three 3points on the road to put Angola ahead and Joaquim Gomes the MVP of this Championship fighting on the board to take all the rebound. End of the quarter (58 - 54) for Angola.

By seeing that the Ivorians fought to come back in the game with their big man Mohamed Kone making some good shots to tie the game but with the pressure of the Angolese and the inexperience of the young Ivorians Angola came out with the win ( 82 - 72).

To give my opinion this Ivorian team impress me a lot if they play together more often something different is going to happen in the next championship I don't want to tell what but let's wait and see. It was a good championship,teams showed some interesting games.

IRI / CHN – Iran retain title in style

TIANJIN (FIBA Asia Championship) - When Iran won the title in the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship at Tokushima, one question remained unanswered: Could Iran have won if China had played with their full team?

The answer to that question came two years later in the form of Iran’s thumping 70-52 win in the gold-medal game of the 25th FIBA Asia Championship.

Hamed EHadadi, who had scored 31 points in Iran’s final triumph two years ago, was once again the leading scorer for his side with 19 points.

“There’s a huge difference between then and now,” said EHadadi.

“Playing against China’s first team in China is pressure enough. But we were determined to carry out what our coach told us,” he added.

EHadadi also collected 17 rebounds – 10 of them in defence.

Samad Nikkah played only 22:27 of the game, but had a telling effect with his eight points and a game-high six assists before that.

“This gold medal is more satisfying for a lot of reasons,” Samad said.

“Winning is one thing, but retaining the gold is a lot more difficult,” he added.

Never had any team dominated a gold medal game against China in the FIBA Asia Championship the way Veselin Matic’s team did on Sunday night in front a capacity crowd – which began to dissipate as the fourth quarter began.

“The whole idea of a final game to seize the initiative early,” said Matic.

“I’m happy things fell in place early for us. And we didn’t lose focus after that,” he added.

As a matter of fact, this was the first time China lost a gold medal game in FIBA Asia Championship history.

Iran raced into an early lead and consolidated their position as the game progressed; their mainstays fired in all cylinders; their bench did more than what was expected; the offensive plays moved with panache; and most importantly the defence played wonderfully tight on the Chinese superstars Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian.

“Basketball is a game of brains,” quipped an expert during the first half interval, when Iran led 42-25.

For sure it was the brains of Matic that weaved a magical spell of defence to keep both Wang and Yi on a leash.

Yi was the only player with double-digit scores at that point, but had failed with seven of his 12 field attempts. And Wang was allowed only six looks at the goal.

Iran on the other hand, played with composure and determination and built their leads in spurts.

A classic example for Iranian determination came in the opening moments of the fourth quarter when the 180-cm Iranian point guard Mahdi Kamrani challenged the 212-cm Yi for a rebound and succeeded in tapping the ball out.

“We were playing the game of our lives,” Kamrani said.

Wang topped the scoring for China with 24 points, but played with wonted form only in the third quarter when he scored 11 of them.

The third was the only period when Iran allowed China to keep the scoring level.

Yi added only one more point to his first half’s 10, in a woeful 29% field record (5/17 attempts).

Where China lacked was in support from the bench, when their mainstays struggled.

The highest scorer for China after Wang and Yi was Liu Wei with six points.

On the other hand, Oshin Sahakian scored 10, Javad Davari nine and Hamed Afagh eight.

Truly, the Iranian teamwork had outsmarted the power of the hosts.

PHI / TPE – ‘Yappy’ performance for Philippines

TIANJIN (FIBA Asia Championship) - James Yap scored 15 of his game-high 23 points in the third quarter and SEABA champions Philippines staged a superb second half rally to defeat wild card entrants Chinese Taipei 77-70 in pivotal Group E eight-final round game on Monday.

James Yap returned a 55.55% field record (5/9), including a staggering 4/6 in three-pointers as Philippines outscored Taipei 29-19 in the third quarter.

Philippines who had inched their way back to a two-point deficit by the end of the first half, thus perched themselves firmly in the driving seat.

Yap fired six successive points in less than a minute midway through the first quarter and Philippines had transformed a 38-41 to a 44-41 lead in quick jiffy.

That was the first time Philippines went ahead in the game and they never trailed again.

Yap had no further success in the fourth quarter, but his third quarter blitz was good enough for his team.

Willie Miller Jr had an all-round consistent shooting performance and scored 17 points for Philippines, with a 75% record in field attempts, converting all his five three-pointer attempts.

"I think our shooting percentage was the key especially in three-pointers," Philippines coach Joseller Guiao said.

Philippines went 50% (15/30) in three-pointers as against Taipei's woeful 7% (1/15).

Chinese Taipei who led for the better part of the game suffered a mid-game slump.

"I think their defence really caught us by surprise in the second half," Taipei coach Chung Kwang-suk said.

Tseng Wen-Ting, who went on to finish as Taipei's leading scorer with 21 points, had only three to add in the third quarter to his eight first half points.

Philippines coach Joseller Guiao worked out some tight defence plans, which his players executed and Tseng was restricted to merely one look at the goal for the entire third quarter.

"Not that we had anything special worked out for him (Tseng). It was just that the entire defence stepped up in the third quarter," Guiao said.

"But he's a very good player, and a smart player. He really scared us in the fourth quarter," Guiao added.

Tseng converted that one attempt and fought back gallantly in the fourth quarter reeling in 10 points, but by then Philippines had hot cruise mode.

Miller's three-pointer that almost coincided with the final buzzer sealed the issue.
