Xinjiang Flying Tigers earned the third consecutive victory in CBA Finals. They upset Guangdong on the road to step closer to the title. The game was mostly controlled by Xinjiang Flying Tigers. Guandong Tigers managed to win fourth quarter 26-19. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Xinjiang Flying Tigers made 18-of-23 free shots (78.3 percent) during the game. 27 personal fouls committed by Guandong Tigers helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for American-Bulgarian point guard Darius Adams (188-89, college: Indianapolis) who led his team to a victory with 37 points (!!!), 6 rebounds and 7 assists. American-Filipino power forward Andray Blatche (211-86) contributed with a double-double by scoring 25 points and 10 rebounds for the winners. American power forward Carlos Boozer (206-80, college: Duke) answered with a double-double by scoring 40 points (!!!) and 11 rebounds and the former international Jianlian Yi (212-87) added 15 points and 16 rebounds in the effort for Guandong Tigers. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Guandong Tigers' coach rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn't help.

Last evening, China beat India 97-57 on the opening day of the BRICS Games 2017, despite a strong performance from star player Amjyot Singh (203-F-92, agency: Octagon Europe) Gill. The game was fairly competitive in the first half: it was a one point game late in the second quarter, before a 9-0 run allowed the Chinese to take a 38-28 lead into half time. The hosts carried that momentum into the second half, scoring 33 and 26 points in the third and fourth quarters respectively, as the game finished 97 - 57. Amjyot Singh Gill led the Indian team with 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. But as a unit, the team struggled to find its scoring touch, only managing a field goal percentage of 36 from 2-point range, although it shot a decent 31.5% from beyond the arc. To complicate matters, Indian shooting guard Vishesh Bhriguvanshi (192-G-91) went down early in the second half, losing his footing while driving to the basket. He has been diagnosed with an ACL injury and is likely to miss the rest of the tournament. Indian fans will be hoping that he recovers in time for the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup that will be played in Lebanon in August. On the defensive end, India was made to pay in the paint in the absence of star centre Amritpal Singh (212-C/F-91). Chinese centre Tao HanLin (208-C-91) came off the bench to lead his team with 18 points and 11 rebounds. The Chinese team was particularly dominant off the glass, pulling down a total of 45 rebounds that also included 14 offensive rebounds, whereas India only recorded 26 rebounds in total. Next up, India will play 9th ranked Russia on Monday, June 19th, before wrapping up the tournament against South Africa on Tuesday, June 20th. China (Tao HanLin18 pts, 11 reb; XiaoYu Liu (191-G-89) 14 pts) bt India (Amjyot Singh 26 pts, 2 blks, 2 stls; Rikin Pethani 12 pts). Courtesy of: basketballfederationindia.org

Abdusalam's three-pointer with 55 seconds to the end of the match helped Team Red of Chinese Men's basketball team to beat Iran 72-67 here on Friday and revenged their Tuesday's 60-63 loss. The host, who trailed by as many as 12 points in the first half, outscored their Asian rival 30-17 in the final quarter to turn the table over. Abdusalam, who scored a team-high 13 points in Tuesday's match, took all his nine points in the final period, while Zhao JiWei (185-PG-95) and Rui Zhao (193-F-96) both added seven. Zhao JiWei's three-pointer opened the match for China but it was the only one for the host in the first half as they were one-of-eight in three-pointers. But Zou Yuchen (203-F-96) helped in both defense and offense. The Bayi center, who just returned from the United States on Wednesday, insisted to play and took 12 points and three blocks in eight minutes before he quitted the match due to injury. "Everyone can see how Zou performed on the court. We are lacking of big guys and he asked to play before the match, though he was still troubled by jet leg," said Li Na, Team Red's head coach. "And it was exactly after he got injured when we had problems in the third quarter." China scored only 11 points in the third quarter. Mohammad Jamshidi (199-SF-91), who led Iran with a match-high 24, scored eight in that quarter while Rouzbeh Arghavan (214-C/F-88, agency: Three Eye Sports) added six to help Iran heading into the final quarter with a lead of eight. China took a 10-4 run in the first three-minutes to cut the gap to only two and then another 8-0 run to set the lead. Iran had their chance to force a timeout and China's Rui Zhao made in one of his two free-throws to secure China their sweet revenge. "We had a good start and a good ending," said Li Nan. "Though we had some tough times in the middle of the match, I'm satisfied with my players. They fought for the victory in every second of the match and I thought we played better we did in last match." Team Red will play their third and also final match against Iran in Ningbo, Zhejiang on Sunday. According to the plan of Yao Ming, the newly elected CBA president, there will be two national teams under the entirely new system and each one led by one coach. The two teams will play in different international competitions before they merge into one in 2019 to prepare for the 2019 World Cup in China and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Team Blue, which led by Du Feng, will play their first warm-up series against Russia, India and South Africe in the first edition of BRICS Games, which will open in Guangzhou on Saturday.
