Playing China (day 11)

We are closely nearing the end of the tourament. One day before our rest day, we play number one of group B, China. Probably before the tournament many would have tipped Australia on top of this group. But been somewhere closer to the team of China, it is very good to see what development this team has been through. Tall players, sharp shooting and using the full area. Well, that is what the Philippine team encountered on the Wednesday during this tournament.



Being WWF Global tiger day today, some of the players whished to make a surprise today. It wasn't part of the gameplan. Our plan was again to let most of the players take their shots without defending pressure. We should focus on a control, low ball pace and high movement.



Unfortunately we moved again mostly in the direction of the korf. We missed the timing and we were more or less focussed on one person. We used only the first pass to the feed and did not use anthird dimension. We refused to use the passing, the area behind the korf, well actually we forgot mainly all we trained last week. Once we want to be sharp and square at the decisive part of this Asia and Oceania Championships, we should go back to basics. Back to playing around the korf, use our triangle, our passing, moving without the ball only to create a chance....

We started promissing with a halftime score of 18-4. At the end we scored a little bit more, we ended this game with 13 scores and kept China under 35 scores. Once we start to aim for 20+ scores and keep our oponent under 25, we will think about gaining points. Well see what will hapen the rest of the week.
