Here in the Philippines there really is no site (or person) really dedicated to the Asian hoops scene, which is why this series exists. Through this series of Asian Basketball Journals, I hope to address just that void. I believe that Asian basketball is such a vibrant source of stories, and I think this should be shared with hoop nuts here in the Philippines and beyond.
Like in previous posts, I won’t be going into a lot of detail. I’ll use mostly images and then just add captions to each one that will, hopefully, capture the essence of the latest developments in Asian hoops.
Here are the highlights of this past week in Asian basketball:
- The CBA Finals are about to begin, pitting the upstart Liaoning Flying Leopards against the reigning champions — the Beijing Ducks!
- The KBL Playoffs are in full swing, with the Changwon LG Sakers taking on the Goyang Orions and the Seoul SK Knights facing the Incheon ET Land Elephants.
- The NBL season in Japan continues, with the Hitachi Sunrockers extending their lead in the East and the Aisin Seahorses widening the gap in the West.
- The SBL Playoffs have also started, with Taiwan Beer and Yulon Luxgen making headway against their respective foes..
- The second conference of the IBF Superleague is slowly heating up as favorites Mahram, Azad, and Petrochimi continue to roll.
- Lebanese basketball is also closing in on the postseason as the LBL moves on to phase two.
