Quickness, outside shooting PH’s weapon vs China

With the needed victory already secured to virtually seal its place in the quarterfinal round, the Philippine basketball team will be facing powerhouse China on Tuesday seeking another win in the hope of an easy sailing on the way to earning, too, a slot in the Final Four.

“China, as always, will be a tough nut to crack,” coach Yeng Guiao told The Manila Times in a long distance interview on Sunday. “But with the way the boys played in our victory over Kazakhstan in our opening game and the arrival of Jordan Clarkson, I believe our chances of scoring an upset improved a little.”
