What an effort! It gave them a punchers chance at the end and 2 loooong 3 pointers in the last 30 seconds pulls it out. Becirovic's choked FT opens the door. He destroyed the CNT all game and then clanks the FT at the end. The Slovenian coach took this loss pretty hard. There is no way they should have lost this game. Do they advance? If not, this was a waste of my good sleep time.
HOLY CRAP. WHAT A FINISH. I'm almost tempted to call him Wang "the Franchise" Shipeng... but that's not really accurate. It's more like Wang "Robert Horry" Shipeng. What an AMAZING LAST SHOT. And can we give some props to Zhu Fangyu for that sick 3-ptr he made!? Sick!! ESPN Classic, baby!
Looks like Yao kept his promise. Hard to believe that talented Slovenia team couldn't advance while Yao and a bunch of schlubs did. Incredible game. Glad I stayed up and watched the whole thing. Anyone notice that China made their run while playing the JVG pick and roll offense?
Wow, what an awesome game! A real nail-biter, fought to the bitter end! I'm proud of Yao's valiant effort, he left it all out on the floor. LOL, did ya'll see the Slovenian coach looking all depressed sitting on the bench by himself? He looked like somebody ran over his puppy.
Wow...plays 23 minutes 59 seconds without scoring, then hits a big 3 to win the game. Yao = 40 minutes (full game), 13-20 2p, 0-1 3p (shot clock), 10-12 FT, 36 pts, 1 assits, 10 rebounds, 2 fouls...at least 2 or 3 blocks that I counted.
75-75 then slovenia scores 77-75 and china has 0 timeouts so they have to run all the court with 6 seconds on the clock, and he ran and shoot a 3 pointer and china won the game 78-77!!
Are you kidding me?! I wonder who will get player of the game honors? I hope the gamme winner won't go into Wang Shi Peng's head though.
With about 6 seconds to go after Slov scored the last two points in the paint, the Chinese guard Wang Shipeng brought up the ball all the way to the 3pt line, shot and scored at the buzzer.
One guy absolutely sucked the whole game, made a buzzer-beating 3 pointer for China to win by one point and to advance to the next round.
Yeah, I kinda felt sorry for him after seeing way he reacted. The camera just kind of stayed on that poor Slovenian coach crying into his hands or whatever.
