China loses to Nigeria in its opener of Stankovic Cup
Chinese national basketball team lost to Nigeria
Beijing - Arab Today
Without key player and former NBA star Yi Jianlian, Chinese national basketball team lost to Nigeria 71-79 in its opener of 2016 Stankovic Cup here on Tuesday.
China's all-star guard Guo Ailun collected a game-high 19 points and grabbed 5 rebounds, his club teammate Zhao Jiwei contributed 10 points, 3 assists and 2 steals. But the highly-expected Zhou Qi, who was picked as No.43 by Houston Rockets in this year's NBA draft didn't perform up to his level, scoring only 4 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.
China only trailed by 3 points after the first half, but the absence of key player Yi Jianlian made the team suffer a lot in defence and finally lost to the Nigeria 71-79.
"The opening of the game was not good, we didn't play as a team in offence and there are too much individual play," said Gong Luming, the coach of Chinese team.
In another game, France got a good start as they beat Argentina 64-57.
In the next round, Nigeria will take on Argentina while China is going to play France on Wednesday.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
