22-year old power forward Zhelin Wang (215-PF-94) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Fujian QB and receives a Asia-basket.com Player of the Week award for round 23. He had a double-double of 37 points and 15 rebounds, while his team beat Jiangsu D. (#11, 11-12) 116-106. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Fujian QB is placed at 16th position in Chinese league. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked such low. They already lost 17 games and recorded just six victories. Wang has many years of experience at Fujian QB, through which he has constantly improved. Zhelin Wang averages this season 21.6ppg and 10.4rpg.
Second best performed player last round was MarShon Brooks (196-G/F-89) of Jiangsu D.. He is American swingman in his second season at Jiangsu D.. In the last game Brooks recorded impressive 57 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Jiangsu D. lost that game 106-116 to the lower-ranked Fujian QB (#16, 6-17). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Jiangsu D. keeps 11th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 11-12 record. Brooks is well-known at Jiangsu D. and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 36.7ppg (#2). His other stats are also decent: 6.2rpg and 4.1apg.
Third place about best performers goes to center Sani Sakakini (204-C-88) of TianJin S. (#13). Sakakini got into 30-points club by scoring 41 points in the last round. He went also for twelve rebounds . He was a key player of TianJin S., leading his team to a 120-113 win against the higher-ranked Shanxi Zh. (#10, 11-12). The chances of TianJin S. ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 13 games, recording just ten victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Sakakini could help TianJin S. to bring them higher in the standings. Sakakini has a great season in China. After 21 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 13.2rpg (7th best).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Dominique Jones (193-G-88) of Qingdao E. - 37 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists 5. Jamaal Franklin (196-SG-91) of Shanxi Zh. - 35 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists 6. Hamed Haddadi (218-C-85) of Sichuan BW - 27 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists 7. Maciej Lampe (211-C/F-85) of Shenzhen L. - 31 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists 8. Lorenzo Brown (196-G-90) of Zhejiang CB - 27 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists 9. Andray Blatche (211-F/C-86) of Xinjiang FT - 21 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists 10. Esteban Batista (208-C/F-83) of North Control B. - 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists
The Player of the week is chosen 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)

'I think we may have gotten more than we expected out of this tournament,' 36ers assistant coach Kevin Brooks said. 'We definitely identified some areas to work on so we're happy. 'We were very pleased with Hodgy (Hodgson) today, they had some big guys and I think he played very well.' Brooks also had high praise for US import Shannon Shorter (193-G-89, college: N.Texas) after his first hitout with his new team. 'Shorter has shown he's for real. He is a player and can make plays and he's going to get even better when he understands our offence a little more,' Brooks said. The 36ers now return home to prepare for their NBL season-opener against Melbourne United in Adelaide on Thursday, October 5. Courtesy of: adelaidenow.com.au
