The second Asian Men's Basketball Champions League held two semi-finals last night and early this morning. Four teams from Japan, the UAE, Mongolia and Lebanon held a fierce competition and went all out for the final seats.

1. Ulaanbaatar Mustang (Mongolia) 71-93 Utsunomiya Emperor (Japan): Utsunomiya Emperor was in a slow state in this competition, losing to Manila Electric in the Philippines 86-97 in the first game, and defeated Dubai Youth Nationals 105-99 in the second game, and defeated Tabiat 94-93 in the last round. Ulaanbaatar defeated Zhejiang 84-67, defeated Tabiat 76-78, and defeated Manila Electric 83-78.

In this game, Utsunomiya Emperor was in good condition in the first quarter, with the Mustangs 33-12 in a single quarter, basically setting the victory; the Mustangs scored 7 points 26-19 in the second quarter, and then catching up with 2 points 15-13 in the third quarter, but Utsunomiya Emperor Emperor directly ended the suspense 28-18 in the last quarter, and advanced to the finals with a total score of 93-71.

2. Alriyadh (Lebanon) 100-78 Dubai Youth National (UAE): Alriyadh’s first game was 103-76 South Korea Changyuan, the second game was 99-82 Taoyuan led the ape, and the last round was 102-66 Zhejiang. Dubai Youth defeated Manila Electric 101-87, 00-105, 92-88, lost to Utsuno Palace Emperor, and won Taoyuan Navigation Ape.

Alliyadh is a favorite to win the championship in this game. The two teams scored tightly at the beginning. Riyadh 20-18 Dubai. Riyadh continued to expand the gap in the second quarter, 29-22; Dubai started a fierce attack in the third quarter, but the effect was not good, and only 1 point was recovered 25-24 in a single quarter; Riyadh suppressed the score completely in the last quarter, 27-13 in a single quarter, with a total score of 100-78 and advanced to the finals.

Lebanon's Alriyadh won all four AFC Champions League games this year, with a net victory of 102 points, and an average of 25 points per game is an easy task to cut melons and vegetables. The team won all five games in the AFC Champions League last year, including 118-75 Liaoning, 102-88 Dubai, 108-88 Malaysian Golden Deer, 121-89 Hiroshima, and 122-96 Dubai. It is now expected to win the AFC Champions League championship in a row, and there is little suspense.

Before this, both the Zhejiang Guangsha of China and Taoyuan Navigation Apes of China were stopped in the quarterfinals. Zhejiang Guangsha lost all three games, lost to Mongolia 67-84 in the group stage, lost to Tabiat 85-99, and narrowly defeated the South Korean team and advanced as eighth place, but met last year's defending champion Alriyadh, and ended with a 66-102 defeat. Taoyuan Navigation won Korea Changyuan 89-73 in the first game of the group stage, lost to Alriyadh 82-99 in the second game, and defeated Dubai Youth Nationals 88-92 in the knockout stage.

Last year, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team was eliminated in the group stage by 1 win and 2 losses, and this year, Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team was eliminated in 0 win and 3 losses. Both teams sent two or three foreign players to play with a group of substitutes with almost no playoff experience. I hope next year, without the National Games mission, the league championship in the new season can play in the AFC Champions League and win glory for the country.
