Dupe of: https://www.hoops.com.au/forum/41467-nbl-all-australian-team-vs-china/

swish Chinese are paying for it. They are using these games as the start of their preparation for the Asian Cup in August.

all stars. Lol.

Telstra NBL pass doesn't work.

Has anyone else managed to watch the game via NBL TV?
I can load other content, but just getting a black screen if I try the Aus v China game 1 link.

The boys are Doin well not to lose there shit at the refs. Amazing

I was interested in watching until I found out Randle was playing ... #hog

These refs are horrible haha

The refs aren't bad.... they are cheats

This happens every year in China to NBL and Aus teams. Why so surprised now?

Topic is wrong, these aren't NBL All Stars, but the All-Australian NBL select team.

Also how the hell does Joyce get a commentating gig? For a coach he has nothing to say of note and has an awful voice. Why does this guy continue to hand around, argh. Go away!

and LOL at the Chinese making it seem China B are playing vs. Boomers. good luck because even with the home cooking you will lose.

Have to laugh at people complaining about the refs. As soon as you play a game in China, get used to the refs.

New drinking game - every time Joyce says "D-Trans"

and I don't think he is drunk, just can't speak properly/not very intelligent

Randle being hogirrific

Can't wait for the Asian Cup and later the World Cup qualifiers when the Boomers smash China with normal refs.

Hahaha oh my that ending.

"Just wondering if it was a Draw would there be OT ? Aussie's had their chances late just unable to get it done."

Yes it would go to OT.

Interestingly you bring that up. Anyone remember the three-peat Sydney Kings mid-2000s (can't remember exact year) playing a game against China full strength team (including Yao Ming) being up by 10 points late in the fourth quarter.

Then the most ridiculous calls were made to have the Chinese tie it up with seconds to go.

Refs blow whistles for end of fourth quarter and to prepare for OT.

Goorjian storms off the court with the Kings team refusing to play OT.

The stretch where China got back after a 10pt defecit was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in basketball.

Also that same pre-season Bullets played China full strength team in the same month. Same thing happened where the Bullets were leading comfortably but China got back and levelled it up or where up by 1pt? Then with a few seconds to go CJ Bruton lands the half-court running three-point shot to win the game. Karma bitches!

Paul actually good memory I think that might've been it. First the dodgy comeback occurred as I mentioned above and then to top things off the Kings' shot was waved off.

I remember now when the top three NBL teams played a full strength China - it was the pre-season before the 2007-08 season.

The reason I know the dates now are because I looked up that dud named Martin Müürsepp on Wikipedia.

After the Kings and Bullets beat/tied/clearly were way better than China the Tigers were the last team to play them.

Tigers were never in it unlike the other two because the big man Müürsepp on his debut kept camping out on the three point line chucking up absolute garbage. From then I knew Tigers weren't going to be a contender for the 2007-08 season unless they cut him. Which they did eventually. From memory he was a recommended signing by Anstey. lol
