In the Finals, it’s Team Qatar versus the powerhouse China, in the Men’s Basketball in the Doha 2006 Asian Games.

We were able to witness the games during the preliminary rounds between China and Japan, and Qatar and South Korea. These are the pictures I’ve taken.

A funny thing happened during the match between China and Japan last Friday (December 8, 2006). Japan was rallying in the first few minutes after the start of the second half–and cut China’s lead to only 6 from as high as 16 points (I think!) in the first half. The crowd, mostly Filipinos, were excited, and chanting—“GINEBRA! GINEBRA! GINEBRA!”

You can just feel the frustration of Filipinos here that there were no representatives for the Philippine Team in the Men’s Basketball.

China won that game. Wang Zhizhi was the highest pointer with 30 points.

On the other hand, in the game between Qatar and Korea, the latter won in overtime. It was the first overtime in the 2006 Asian Games.

I agree with you Jo. The frustration is there, but the fault is with BAP if I’m not mistaken.

Why not Philippines? Simply because there’s no Philippine Team in basketball! I was referring to the funny thing that happened, not the “corny” thing! hehe

For sure Jamal you’re not a Ginebra fan!

Cguro, “Wala pa ring tatalo sa Alaska” ka noh? hehe
