    Greece really plays team-basketball , and outside shooting is more powerful than China, but Yao is absolutlly the player of the game. :)

    I am Greek so I root for Greece over anyone but the US.

    So how about a win for the Greeks but Yao also going off and having a huge game!

    well I bet china +13. that's too many points for china to be getting since greece has no 7 footers and yao has 2 days rest. plus I think china might get some confidence after the last win.

    i'm not sure if I can bet on china to win though. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think china has 7 to 1 odds. so I am debating if china would win more than once against greece every 7 games. I just don't think greece is that dominating and I don't think china is that bad with yao.

    Spanoulis' view of the game from his blog:


    Quote:
    "On Sunday we'll play against Yao Ming's China who as you know will be my team-mate next year. Everyone knows who the favorite team to win is. Greece is a better team but we will have to prove it in the court. Our opponents play the system "everybody else around and Yao in the middle" and Greece can't lose from a team of one. I may be passing the ball to him next year but in Japan we'll beat him!"

    Who is this guy???? Spanoulis?

    Our Head Coach, Jonas KAZLAUSKAS, has been teaching a Greece Club (Olympiakos) during 2004-2006. He knew the strength and weakness of each and every Greece players very well. If our players can execute coach's plans well, we may make a shot.

    So in this summer, Yao have played against three of his future teammates, battier, Badman & V-span, and one of his ex-teammates, boki.

    Also, he has played against 3 No 1. draft picks after himself, i.e. 2003 Lebron, 2004 Howard and 2005 Bogut. Too bad Bargani didnt play for Italy this summer else he will make it four! :D
