It really depend on how well China guards pass the ball to Yao. The way I see it, they don't seem to have any idea how to pass to Yao. The guard also dribble to much.
Yeah, also I feel China might simply just give it away after trailing by too much and Yao will only see only limited number of minutes of action here. I bet China will want him to rest and save more energy to go against the other three opponents

Dwight howard seems to be guarding Yao. Wang zhi zhi scored Chian's first point, not too sure who scored USA's 4th and 5th point though.
Yao scored his first points with a hook shot, Anthony responds with a near three-point line jump shot.
4 minute gone....14 ~ 6 USA leads. Battier scored the first 5 points for USA. Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi got all 6 points for China.
I'll have to say, Battier is good, he saved a loose ball that lead to Chris Paul's 3-pointer, Yao at the free throw line after fouled by Melo. Makes all freethrows. USA leads 19-8.
