Gonzaga beats Duke

NCAA College America

Coming into its showdown with third-ranked Gonzaga, top-ranked Duke had played five games and trailed for a total of 35 seconds — all season. And that’s among the reasons the Blue Devils, after jumping Kansas in the Associated Press poll following the first week of the season, have remained No. 1 everywhere.

They’ve been overwhelming.

Which is why what happened here at the Lahaina Civic Center on Wednesday was so surprising. Gonzaga jumped Duke the way Duke normally jumps teams — shot 64.5 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes, including 60.0 percentage from 3-point range, took a 16-point lead early in the second half and survived a wild flurry late to record an 89-87 victory and secure the Maui Jim Maui Invitational title.

Folks had been wondering when Duke would first lose.

Iran is in the midst of a youth movement, However, when they started the Asian Qualifiers on a dour note, they had to call in some old heroes. With only Oshin Sahakian the veteran of Iran’s past dominance in the regional competition, it was enough as they fell rather embarrassingly to neighboring Iraq, 66-74, in a match played in Amman, Jordan, since the latter’s current state doesn’t allow the safe playing of matches there. The Iraqis did well in the even-numbered quarters, outscoring Iran, 19-12, in the final frame. Although Iran bounced back at home in Tehran with a 65-39 blowout of Qatar, in their second window, they brought back old reliables Samad Nikkhah Bahrami and Hamed Haddadi, who each scored 21 and 20 points in another laugher, 54-75, in Astana, Kazakhstan.

The Chinese, who sat squarely on the driver seat for the first three quarters, leaned on Zhou Qi for a cushion against the hastily-assembled Filipino squad.

The regional Olympics was hit by scandal after the players were spotted in a notorious red-light district of the Indonesian capital Jakarta wearing their national jerseys last week. The expulsion of Yuya Nagayoshi, Takuya Hashimoto, Takuma Sato, and Keita Imamura will come as a major embarrassment for Japan, who will host the Tokyo Olympics in two years’ time. “I deeply apologize for our careless act that has brought disgrace on not only basketball fans However also all of the Japanese people,” Sato told a news conference. Nagayoshi, wearing a black suit and tie, said he “can’t imagine” playing basketball again. Japan Basketball Association chief Yuko Mitsuya said it will wait for a report from a special committee of lawyers before formally punishing the four. “I just feel a sense of shame,” said Yasuhiro Yamashita, the head of the Japanese delegation to the Asian Games, the world’s second-largest multi-sport event. “We deeply apologize and intend to give the athletes thorough guidance from now on,” he told reporters in Jakarta. https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/japanese-basketball-players-in-prostitute-disgrace-863658.html Dallas Mavericks: Ding Yanyuhang to play for China in 2018 Asian Games Mavericks trade former Baylor star to Clippers and sign China’s Ding Yanyuhang https://parkercitynews.com/mavericks-trade-former-baylor-star-to-clippers-and-sign-chinas-ding-yanyuhang/10283/ Jordan Clarkson can’t wait to learn Gilas’ ‘fun style of play’ JAKARTA — With around three minutes remaining in the third quarter of the Philippines’ 96-59 win over Kazakhstan in the 2018 Asian Games, cheers erupted from the Philippine bench. Nobody had made a spectacular play on the court; it was a player of it that was causing the commotion. Jordan Clarkson was finally here. After days of uncertainty surrounding his stint, the Cleveland Cavaliers guard arrived in Jakarta from Los Angeles and was brought straight to the basketball arena in the sprawling Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex on Thursday. Since his plane touched down at around the same time the Philippines-Kazakhstan game tipped off, there was no way he could make it in time. However, it could be argued that his mere presence inspired his teammates and raised their level of play. From the moment he took a seat behind the team bench, the Philippines outscored their opponents 38-19. Clarkson’s arrival was the culmination of a complicated series of events that drew in the NBA, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Olympic Committee, and the Asian Games organizers as the NBA initially refused to give the go-signal to his participation.

And on that note how awesome was Guiao. He should replace Chot Reyes has a national coach permanently cause she showed even with depleted numbers he still pulled off a win against highly favored Kazakhstan. And not just a win a pummelling.

I bet a copy of the Art of War by Sun Tsu was in his bag.

How the first all-pro 1990 Dream Team brought back Asian Games glory

When FIBA formally allowed professional basketball players in international competitions in 1989 with its “open basketball” ruling, the exciting prospect was really witnessing the best cagers to play for their country came true.

And this became such welcome news for the Philippines given the dearth in competitiveness in world basketball. Case in point was the 1989 Southeast Asian Games, wherein the Philippines lost the gold for the very first time in the history of the biennial cage meet to hosts Malaysia after an embarrassing 99-107 loss.

Something had to be done, and the FIBA ruling could not have come at a better time.

“Dream Team”

The country’s basketball governing body, the Basketball Association of the Philippines, immediately forged a deal with the PBA to send only the best Philippine team for the next major international tilt, the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing.

Thus, the Philippine “Dream Team” was formed, consisting of an all-star dream selection of PBA players, half of which became part of the PBA’s 25 Greatest Players list several years later.

The team consisted of active players who were making waves in the PBA at that time, including Mon Fernandez, Hector Calma, Samboy Lim, and Yves Dignadice of the Grand Slam-winning San Miguel Beermen, Chito Loyzaga, Dante Gonzalgo, and the late Rey Cuenco of the most popular Anejo Rhum squad, Benjie Paras and Ronnie Magsanoc of Formula Shell, Allan Caidic and Zaldy Realubit of Presto Tivoli, and Alvin Patrimonio of Purefoods Hotdogs.

Jerry Codinera was originally part of the final lineup However had to beg off due to a bout with hepatitis and was replaced by Realubit. Nelson Asaytono and Paul Alvarez were named as alternates However we’re unable to join the team in Beijing.

And the coaches? No less than living legend Robert Jaworski of Anejo Rhum was named head coach, with Norman Black of San Miguel as his assistant.

Clarkson withdraws from Batang Gilas

by Ernest Hernandez

The final push to include Jordan Clarkson in the Gilas Pilipinas Asian Games roster suffered a big blow after the NBA did not clear him to join the competition, according to sources.



No reason has been cited by the NBA However the Cleveland Cavaliers’ guard has been in trade rumors and could be one of the reasons why he didn’t get the nod while Houston Rockets’ Zhou Qi was allowed to play for China.

TNT Katropa’s Don Trollano will instead replace Clarkson for the final roster spot. The team will head out to Indonesia on August 12.

Longley, who has been praised for his efforts to protect Australian player Chris Goulding from a large group of Philippines players, said Reyes had called on his players during a timeout to “hit somebody, put somebody on their arse.”
