    Wow. Quite clever play by the Chinese to close out the game. Put a lot of shots on Marcus, he doesn't break, switch to Kevin, then switch it back to Marcus

    IMO, minions should lift it a little bit more in third game instead of trying to play to the midcourt every single time (kevin especially doing it a lot)...it clearly doesn't work as han and zhou already anticipated tha kind of shot to be played. and gideon kinda pissed me off in this game, like you make a mistake...so what ? stop being frustated so easily!!! it clearly affected him when he make those mistake, just forget it and play on.

    I totally agree! At least they create play in the game and pile pressure on the minions instead of ceding control.

    A pleasant surprise but a well-deserved victory for the young upstart from CHN, Han Chengkai/Zhou Haodong. At 20 years of age, they have a long way ahead of them, a bright prospect for CHN MD.

    Heartiest Congratulations, Han/Zhou. Well done. Keep it up ! Jiayou !

    The heartache of Minions losing today.

    Anyway, you are not actually stating "a fact". ;)

    No I am not implying that. Rather, I am saying that ZSW's skill set maybe suited to MD too. Considering that China has no dominant MD team now, China may consider moving him over to MD to strengthen that discipline. After all, the likes of Cai Yun, Zhang Nan also did move across disciplines to fill in a gap. If I am not wrong, Zhang Nan even plays two disciplines simultaneously.

    That being said, this China MD pair looks promising, with Han playing a crucial role in the win by being very tactically astute.

    Marcus needs to learn how to attack better in slow hall. Oh well CHN played better

    No, I am poking Li/Liu's slump performances.

    They each got an 'Eiffel Tower' to bring home. What's that 'snake' picture on the photo holder ?

    Yes I agree! They are still young and need more exposure but they look very promising!
