Young Chinese men's basketball coach, Guo Shiqiang has come under fire from media and fans a day after his team suffered one of the most humiliating losses in Asian Basketball Championships' history in Tianjin.
"Guo is the sinner behind the loss. He had no idea to make changes and made some big mistakes in the first half of the match," said sports.sina.com.
Guo and his players were unable to break down Iran's defense in the Asian Championships final on Sunday night. They trailed 42-25 at the half before ultimately losing 70-52.
