Looks like the Kiwis have run out of steam, but given China recently beat the B team from Montenegro and Macedonia this isnt a bad effort given it's effectively NZ's B team.

Lack of depth just means we cant sustain that initial intensity.

Tough referreeing decisions..but you expect the Chinese to get calls in China. Always happens.

Webster had a nice game..he has a developed offensive game.

Ev Bartlett needs to work out what his role is/what he is good at. Because he struggles to shoot, his passing makes my heart jump out of my chest and he tends to overgamble on defense.

I like the new aggressive approach on defence. Vucenic has been heading that way slowly, it makes sense with the style of player coming through and the style guys learn at the Breakers, and I thought they had the Chinese jumping at shadows a number of times tonight.

Love Te Rangi and Webster's confidence, and if Anthony could shoot free throws he's be dangerous!

Tall Blacks best hope will be to play aggressive, to force the opposition into foul trouble to negate depth.

You kind of need depth to play that way, but I dont think this is a short term thing based on this year's squad.

I forgot that this game was being played.
Great to see the Kiwi youngsters take it to the Chinese.

Adelaide fans will be hoping for BJ Anthony to carry his current form into the NBL season.

Abercrombie is in China and is expected to come off the bench with TeRangi starting (Coach doesn't want Abercrombie to jump off a plane and into the deep end)
