The Trentino Basket Cup 2016 was concluded with a blowout 87 – 58 victory by Italy, the tournament’s host,s against China.
Marco Belinelli scored 18 points and dished 6 assists, winning MVP, while Danilo Gallinari dropped 16 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. The Chinese team fell behind 26-9 at the end of the first quarter and never recovered. It was difficult anyway, considering the fact Yi Jianlian, the team’s leader, did not participate in the game.
The Italian team will play in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament of Turin, while China will continue preparing before travelling to Rio for the games.
