35-year-old veteran incarnated Clarkson! He scored 27 points in the second half, and led the team to a 20-point comeback on 6-of-8 shooting in the final quarter
In the men's basketball semifinals of the Asian Games, the Philippines defeated China 77-76 to advance to the final, and the Philippines was 20 points behind China at most, and they were both behind by double-digit points in the big time. In this case, 35-year-old veteran Justin Brownlee became the savior of the Philippine team, he incarnated Clarkson in the World Cup, ushered in a big explosion in the second half, especially in the final quarter, he scored 17 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the outside, a total of 6-8 shots, scoring 3 points more than the Chinese team 14 points in a single quarter, under his leadership, the Philippines team blasted 27-14 in the final quarter, successfully completed a 20-point comeback, and successfully advanced to the final.
Justin Brownlie, a naturalized player of the Philippines, is 35 years old this year, a veteran, it is worth mentioning that before participating in the Asian Games, he also underwent ankle surgery, and he did not fully recover in preparation for the Asian Games, is such a player, he played Clarkson in the Asian Games meeting with the Chinese team.
I believe everyone remembers that Clarkson faced China in the World Cup, scoring 20 consecutive points in 4 minutes in the third quarter and scoring 34 points, while Justin Brownlee performed better than Clarkson, because the Philippines was 20 points behind at most, and the whole game was playing against the wind. In this unfavorable situation, Justin Brownlee is also a god, no matter which defensive player he encounters, he can accurately hit the shot, 5 three-point shots in the final quarter, 33 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, 7 of 12 from the outside, 27 points in the second half, becoming the hero of the Philippine team's comeback.
This game is very incredible, from the overall strength point of view, we have to take the advantage, because the players in our squad are basically World Cup squads, and most of the main players of the Philippine team who have participated in the World Cup have not played, including Clarkson, Soto, Ramos and Fajardo, etc., can only be regarded as the second team, and the two naturalized players are already veterans, and their abilities are completely incomparable with Clarkson.
In this case, we still suffered a 20-point reversal and missed the final, and to be honest, we need to sum it up, when leading, we can't stay focused, we don't execute enough, and when the opponent completes several attacks in a row, we will be in a mess, unable to execute the tactics step by step, and play badly. The World Cup is like this, and now the Asian Games are the same, for the Chinese men's basketball team, there are too many places to improve, if it is still so, then there may be a lot of games that will not be lost before.
