China head coach Aleksandar Djordjevic said his team need to play smarter after missing out on an Olympic qualifying spot at the Basketball World Cup with a fourth defeat on Saturday, Sept. 2.
China slumped to a 96-75 loss to the Philippines in Manila to bring an end to a disastrous tournament for the basketball-obsessed nation.
Japan beat Cape Verde 80-71 in Okinawa for its third win to finish the tournament as Asia's highest-placed team. "Once you're tired, once the difficulties start, you have to use your head -- our head was not used in the proper way tonight in the second half," he said.
