The Rox should have a very good season. Getting into the playoff is almost a certainty. Last night early in the game, the USA defense wasnt that bad, but the Chinese play gave us a preview what damage the Rox could do in the league. The USA paid too much attention to MING because of his performances in previous games that really opened up shots for other Chinese players and MING wasnt even getting the ball that much. This time they were able to convert. That's why the Chinese could be up by so much during the first quarter. Only after MING was taken out of the game cuz of the 2 fouls that the USA was able to cut the lead and up by 1 at the end of first half. I could see that the USA players were really hesitant to pentrate or create shots in the paint when MING was there. If MING had stayed in the game without foul troubles, it could have been a very close game, at least based on an expectation of a blow-out.
