International power forward Jianlian Yi (212-PF-87) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Guandong ST, receiving a Asia-basket.com Player of the Week award for round 3. The 25-year old player had a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds, while his team edged out Guangsha L. (#12, 1-2) 113-110. Guandong ST maintains the 7th position in Chinese CBA. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Guandong ST will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. Yi turned to be Guandong ST's top player in his first season with the team. Jianlian Yi has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (6th best: 27.7ppg), rebounds (9th best: 11.3rpg) and averages impressive 2.7bpg and 78.4% FGP.
The second best player in last round's games was 31-year old American Charles Gaines (201-F-81) of Shanxi Zh.. Gaines had a very good evening with a double-double of 31 points and 16 rebounds. Bad luck as Shanxi Zh. lost that game 102-109 to Fujian QB (2-1). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Gaines is well-known at Shanxi Zh. and is a proven leader in his second season with the team. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 26.0ppg (#9). He also registered 10.5 boards per game.
Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Mike Harris (198-F-83) of Jiangsu D. (#14). Harris got into 30-points club by scoring 34 points in the last round. He went also for sixteen rebounds . Despite Harris' great performance Jiangsu D. lost 92-98 to DongGuan L. (#6, 2-1). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Jiangsu D. can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 2 games. Too bad for Harris he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. The season just started for Harris as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Al Thornton (203-F-83) of Guangsha L. - 36 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists 5. Zhelin Wang (215-PF-94) of Fujian QB - 28 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists 6. Mingxin Ju (200-F/G-93) of Foshan LL - 27 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists 7. Pooh Jeter (180-PG-83) of Shandong FB - 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists 8. Donnell Harvey (203-F/C-80) of TianJin S. - 30 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists 9. Stephon Marbury (188-G-77) of Beijing Ducks - 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists 10. YongGang Zhao (202-F-82) of Qingdao E. - 36 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists
The Player of the week is choosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy. The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3*(REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4*(2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3*(2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3*(3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)

Despite holding on close to the Shanghai Sharks for most of the game, the Singapore Slingers couldn't overcome the height and offensive power of the Chinese squad losing 89-67. Yabusele Guerschon (201-PF-95) led the way for the Sharks with 29 points and 13 rebounds. Alexander Xavier (198-G-88, college: S.Nazarene) and Justin Howard (208-C-81, college: Mercer) tried to shoulder the load for the Slingers with a combined 39 points and 24 rebounds but fell short.

Despite holding on close to the Shanghai Sharks for most of the game, the Singapore Slingers couldn't overcome the height and offensive power of the Chinese squad losing 89-67. Yabusele Guerschon (201-PF-95) led the way for the Sharks with 29 points and 13 rebounds. Alexander Xavier (198-G-88, college: S.Nazarene) and Justin Howard (208-C-81, college: Mercer) tried to shoulder the load for the Slingers with a combined 39 points and 24 rebounds but fell short. OCBC Arena roared as Wong Wei Long (187-G-88) scored the first three points for the Singapore Slingers who were going up against the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). Singaporean basketball fans filled the arena in a lively Friday evening for the last game of the Merlion Cup group phase. The two teams held their ground defensively early on with neither team being able to break the 10 point mark until after the 7th minute of the game. Both teams would rely on their prolific scorers in the first quarter to get things going. The Slingers got 5 points from local star, Wong Wei Long while the Sharks got their bite from Fredette Jimmer (188-PG-89, college: BYU), who scored a total of 9 points. The first quarter ended with the hosts trailing, 16-18. Fredette Jimmer, the former National College Player of the Year of the United States in 2011, continued his scoring barrage with 9 more points in the second quarter. His combination of long range shooting and penetration to the basket helped the Chinese side extend their lead out to 31-37 at the end of the first half. The Sharks clamped their Jaws hard on defense, holding the Slingers to only 12 points in the second period. The Slingers made a run to tie the game at 43-43 almost midway through the third quarter behind a run from their import. As the score got tighter, the game got more physical and the Sharks tried to break away once again. Riled behind the cheers of the home crowd, the Slingers were able to keep the Sharks from going into the fourth quarter with a double digit lead. Going into the 4th quarter, the Sharks still led 61-53. With Fredette Jimmer slowing down in the second half, the Sharks continued to get consistent scoring from Yabusele Guerschon. The NBA Draft pick's physicality would prove to be a huge advantage for the Sharks. Both Fredette Jimmer and Yabusele Guerschon would be too much for the Slingers to handle, combining for 58 points as the Sharks cruised away with for the 89-67 victory. The Slingers hold a 1-1 record at the end of the group phase to finish in second place. They will be playing in the Semifinals against Might Sports at 8:30 PM tomorrow.
