I'll give you a bit of an explanation on why run and gun and full court press wouldn't work on a team like China. As Jon said earlier, China has high handling on their guards, so they would have little trouble breaking the press, and if a team can consistently break the press, they will score at a very high rate. Run and gun may have been slightly effective, but at the time of the game, our best guard Joe Bronson had low game shape and would have been a poor option to play. Based on the game shape that we had, look inside was our best option.

I believe that with any other tactics besides look inside and man to man, we would have lost the game by a lot more. China was just a better team, and you have to give them credit for that.
