All of the coaches and administrators attended a fantastic dinner last night with stories and smiles shared by all.   The camp will wrap up tomorrow with a short all star game and closing dinner for everyone.

Special thanks to everyone involved at adidas, the Chinese Basketball Association, and the city of DongGuang Sports Academy.  We look forward to a return in 2012 and can’t wait to see everyone in Los Angeles.

One highlight today was the NBA/CBA coaching clinic.   About 20 CBA coaches were in attendance and thoroughly enjoyed the knowledge provided by coaches Tony Brown, Alex English and LaSalle Thompson.  Coaches covered offensive sets, out of bounds plays and post play defense.   Much of the content were direct sets run by NBA teams and something the CBA coaches will immediately adapt to their repertoires.  “When we can learn what the Boston Celtics or Toronto Raptors are doing to creatively get shots for their best players…that’s something I will try to incorporate into our team,” said one CBA Coach.

Several standout players emerged: PG Youwei Zhang, SG Ziyang Xu, PF Yinglun Shao, SF Yan Cao, SG Delong Han, PF You Wang, SF Yi Zhai, C Pengfei Yan, SF Yi Zhai.

The day began with drill work led by the NBA coaches and more individual instruction.  Again, Jrue Holiday took the chance to work on his game and joined the players during stations and scrimmages.  If there’s one thing about the Chinese players that stands out, it’s how hard they play and how hard they work.   The small nuances of the game are what is lacking most, and slowly but surely you can notice them begin to pick up the little things to improve their game.   Each coach agrees, slowing down the game and changing speeds is the most noticeable improvement needed, they like to play in warp speed.

Game play finished off the day with another heated battle among Alex English’s Asia Red Team and the Chris Rivers led Asia Red Development.   Rivers’ squad prevailed, we’ll see if they can keep it up in day 3 as tournament play begins.

The 63 players consisting of 48 men and 15 women, were then led through a warmup by Asia Red Development Team Coach and adidas global asset manager Chris Rivers.  Rivers would later lead his team to victory in the most spirited battle of the day.

Following warmup, the players were then taken through a skill development session led by NBA coaches Alex English, Tony Brown and LaSalle Thompson.   Players worked quickly and drilled hard before breaking into teams and competing in controlled scrimmages coached by CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) assigned coaches.

The highlight of the day for the Chinese players was definitely the presence of NBA star Jrue Holiday (Philadelphia 76ers).  Not only did Jrue participate in the drill work and personal instruction, but he decided to join in the scrimmage and played most of the second half as his team made a valiant comeback but fell just short of the Rivers led squad.
