 All-Stars Game: Korean KBL beat Chinese CBA 85-82
Led by imports Kris Lang and Jameel Watkins and Korean guard Kim Seung Hyun (178-G-78) the Korean Basketball League defeated the CBA 85-82 tonight.  Lang and Watkins each scored 17 points while Kim, voted MVP of the game, scored 8 points and dished out 9 assists.
Import Olumide Oyedeji led China with 19 points and 24 rebounds while Liu Wei scored 13 points, Yi Jianlian scored 12 while Hu Weidong and Zhu Fangyu scored 11 apiece.  In a closely-played game, China jumped off to an 8-4 lead.  China at one point led 39-25 before the South Koreans stormed back.  Korea regained the lead at 58-56 and the lead swung back and forth for a while.  Korea took the lead for good at 78-77 and a three-pointer by Moon Kyun-Eun made it 85-80.
The Korean import big men Kris Lang and Jameel Watkins negated China's native size advantage, allowing the speedy Korean guards to outplay China's perimeter players.  Chinese guard play has improved, but is still not quite equal to Korea's.  This is why it is likely that Liu Wei will not be China's point guard in 2008, but will probably be surpassed by one of the promising young guards born in 1985 or thereafter.
Olumide Oyedeji and Yi Jianlian could not dominate the Korean import inside duo, and while Yi scored 12 points, he only grabbed 1 rebound and fouled out.  At 17, he is not yet physically strong enough to compete with the players the calibre of Lang and Watkins.  Tang Zhengdong, age 19, only scored 2 points as the older, stronger, more experienced Oyedeji was needed to compete against the Korean imports at center.  Tang is a pure center, not a power forward.
The two teams will meet on January 30 in Harbin, China, where the CBA will have the home-country advantage.

CBA: Olumide Oyedeji 19p 24r 2a 5s 3b, Liu Wei 13p 2r 2a 4s, Yi Jianlian 12p 1r (fouled out), Hu Weidong 11p 3a, Zhu Fangyu 11p 2r 2a 2s, Rod Gregoire 6p 5a 1s, Jiao Jian 5p 1r 1a, Zhang Yunsong 2p 1r 1a, Tang Zhengdong 2p, Du Feng 1p 2r, Mo Ke 1b, Guo Shiqiang 1a, Liu Yudong/Hu Xuefeng DNP

KBL: Kris Lang 17p, 12r, Jameel Watkins 17p, 10r, Kim Seung Hyun (178-G-78) 8p 9a (MVP)
Zhu Fangyu made 21 treys to beat Moon Kyun-Eun (16) in 3P-shootout.
