Manila: Defending champion China defeated India 79-45 to win back-to-back games in Group F at the 27th Asian Men’s Basketball Championship here Tuesday.
But the match wasn’t easy for China as they lost two key players, reports Xinhua.
Former NBA player Yi Jianlian strained his thigh muscle before the tournament and only played China’s opening match against South Korea and point guard Liu Xiaoyu injured his back in Monday’s match against Kazakhstan.
Young players came out to play a key role in China’s second victory at the second stage. Wang Zhelin and Guo Ailun, both 19, combined 34 points. Guo scored nine of his 16 points in the final quarter while Wang had nine rebounds and three steals despite his match-high 18 points.
“We fought for the win and played as we wanted. I only did what the coaches told me to,” said Wang.
China outscored India 23-6 in the second quarter to set a lead of 25 points by halftime and enlarged it to 31 before the final period. Veteran Wang Zhizhi had 13 points in his nine minutes and 12 seconds playing time.
Amjyot Singh led India with 16 points but was the only Indian to score in double digits.
China beat India in all fields except free throw percentages. India made 10 of their 14 free throw attempts while China missed 11 out of 31.
“We’re missing two important players but we controlled the situation. We got better after the sixth minute and my players performed with good focus. It’s good for young players,” said Chinese head coach Panagiotis Giannakis.
“We want to keep Yi fresh and healthy. Maybe he will play in tomorrow’s match. He needs to go on court before the knockout stage.”
China evened its group record at 2-2 while India is still winless at 0-4. China will take on Bahrain Wednesday.
India’s Medal Count Is Worse Than it Looks
Why India Only Won Six Medals at the 2012 London Olympics - India Real Time - WSJ
India won more medals at the London Olympics than ever before. A total of six: two silvers, four bronze and no gold.
This was a great achievement for all the athletes involved, better than the pre-Games target of five, and evidence India’s sporting record is improving.
But let’s face it, the bigger picture is far from glowing: for a country of over 1.2 billion people that boasts one of the world’s largest economies, this is an unimpressive tally.
You have to scroll way down before you get to India in the Olympic rankings: it’s 55th out of 79, below the likes of North Korea (20), the tiny Caribbean archipelago of Trinidad and Tobago (47) and nowhere near fellow BRIC economies. (Note that the official medal rankings take into account also the type of medal, so gold is worth more than silver and so on.)
If you adjust the medal tally to its population and the size of its economy, the result is even less remarkable: India comes last in both tables.
A total of six medals for India averages to one medal for roughly every 207 million inhabitants. Compare that to China, with one medal for every 15.5 million people (for a total of 87 medals) or the U.S., with one medal for every three million Americans.
Adjusted to its gross domestic product, India’s medal haul is as disappointing, with the lowest ratio of Olympic medals to GDP size.
With an annual GDP of $1.848 trillion, India is the world’s 10th- largest economy, according to 2011 World Bank data. Yet its number of medals is far lower that of countries with economies of comparable size. Take Russia: although its GDP is marginally larger than India’s, it won 82 medals at this year’s Olympics.
So what’s the reason for India’s disproportionately poor performance at the Summer Olympics? This is a question many have grappled with in recent days.
It’s tempting, from a distance, to guess India doesn’t care about competing in the Olympics. But that’s not the case: The Indian public eagerly followed the Games, cheering on their athletes, even in obscure sports like 25-meter rapid fire pistol shooting.
The biggest problem is that Indian athletes don’t enjoy much financial or institutional support. Although this is improving, thanks to growing public investment and non-profit initiatives like the Olympic Gold Quest and the Mittal Champions Trust, this is in no way comparable to the kind of backing athletes enjoy in top-ranked Olympic countries.
“The correlation between the amount of money invested in athletes and the number of medals is very strong,” argues Geet Sethi, a nine-time world billiards champion as well as head and founder of the Olympic Gold Quest, an organization that scouts and trains athletes for the Games.
“For instance, in 1998 our sports budget was 1.5 billion rupees ($27 million) while China’s was 15 billion rupees. China won 10 times the number of medals India won at the 1998 Asian Games,” he said in an interview ahead of the Games.
Olympic shooter Abhinav Bindra, who won gold in Beijing, agrees the room for improvement is plenty: “I think in sport in India a lot needs to still be done. I do believe that we have an abundance of talent but that talent needs to be nurtured right from a young age and we need to have world-class infrastructure, world-class coaching and training right from a young age.”
In an interview with India Real Time, he described China as a good example of how investing in sports translates into Olympic victories. “Their rise has been phenomenal,” he says.
Writing for the Atlantic, Max Fisher drew attention to the absence of a grass-roots sporting culture in the country.
Citing an academic paper, he noted how “huge swathes” of India population don’t count as potential medal winners as they effectively never participate in athletics. “They’re excluded by poor childhood health, physical isolation by poor transportation from the athletics centers in the big cities, or often because they simply are not sufficiently aware of the Olympics or the sports involved,” he writes.
Besides, India does not have the Communist history that Russia and China shared. Some argue that, over the years, this has translated into a sporting culture that is conducive to Olympic victory by making it easier to channel resources to athletes.
The big exception to India’s dismal sporting record is cricket, in which India dominates. But some say this is part of the problem: the country is so cricket-obsessed that, in the mind of the public as well as sponsors, little space is left for others.
“Let us accept the truth,” said sports writer Nirmal Shekar in a column published in the Hindu, “we are a one-sport nation.”
The question of why India fares so poorly at the Olympics, noted Mr. Shekar, arises only when the Games are on, “for only about two weeks every four years.”
“The rest of the time… we are obsessed with, worship and shamelessly pay obeisance” to that one sport, cricket, argues Mr. Shekar.
“And when the Olympics come around, we are saddened, angry and aghast that we are not able to revel in reflected glory. We are ashamed that countries with one millionth of our population pick up gold medals. These guys have done us in, we say. We believed so much in them and they have let us down. But the truth is, it is we who let them down. For, we don’t care about them for three years and eleven-and-a-half months,” he writes.

Disciplinary action for missing training events? How awful.
