China’s Kyle Anderson was met with a block by Gilas Pilipinas’ Rhenz Abando during their Fiba World Cup game. Despite the attention given to Jordan Clarkson, Anderson acknowledged Abando’s contribution to Gilas Pilipinas’ victory. Anderson, also known as Li Kaier, gave his all on the court with 17 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. However, China faced defeat in their final classification match against the home team, largely due to Clarkson’s impressive performance. Clarkson played his best game for the Philippines, scoring 34 points, 24 of which came in the third quarter. Anderson, who has played against Clarkson from college to the NBA, recognized the impact of both Clarkson and Abando in turning the game around. Abando stood out with his solid performance, scoring 14 points, grabbing five rebounds, and blocking Anderson’s eurostep. Reflecting on China’s loss, Anderson took responsibility and acknowledged the strong performance of Gilas Pilipinas. Despite the challenges he faced in his first World Cup, Anderson expressed his desire to continue representing China in the future. He recognized the tough competition and the need for improvement in Chinese basketball. Anderson valued the experience of playing for China, praising his teammates, coach Sasha, and the support of the fans. With the World Cup over, Anderson now shifts his focus to the upcoming NBA season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He looks forward to joining his fellow World Cup teammates Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.
