Guo Shiqiang, the head coach, on Team China's weakness exhibited in the loss to South Korea: "Today our execution and focus were not good enough. We didn’t do a good job limiting the opponent’s strengths and style of play. Korea relies on fast breaks, penetration-and-kick plays, and three-point shooting to score, and we were poor in transition defense, defending the three-point line, guarding pick-and-rolls, and rebounding. So losing this game is not surprising.”
