What's the reaction in China?

"omg no olympics"
ahhhhhhh i could care less about that
WE WANT YAO! AND NBA CHAMPIONSHIP

 

It is local time 5 am in Beijing.

People still have dreams about Rockets to win Championship this year

 

I think Mr. is sleeping now

 

They are cursing Yi. Not much about Olympic yet.

 

Weeping, gnashing of teeth, and 400,000+ borderline unintelligible posts on clutchfans.net

 

yeah.. public enemy number 1 in China... poor guy.. i'm sure it wasn't intentional

 

They will be shocked by this news when they wake up in the morning.

Some irrational bball fans might starting blaming. They may blame NBA for its brutal schedule. They may blame the Rockets for playing Yao 40 mins per game, night in and night out. Just like some irrational fans here.

Some may get mad, since this injury may well ruin their hope in Olympics.

 

I thought that was his other foot.

 

Well I would bet that the Olympics are important to Yao so they should be to you too.

 

there was no hope with Yao. Not for a top 3 finish

However, of course they want him to play when they are hosting...understandable

 

Rioting

 

Olympics are a joke. Didn't they get rid of baseball and keep synchronized ribbon twirling?

 

pryuen faints

 

Then the rebuttal:

 

not sure.. read on another post that yao's injury stemmed from the game versus the bucks

 

I'm not Chinese. I don't care about the Olympics.

 

pryuen when he wakes up =

Spoiler

 

Do you believe the Rockets is a serious contender for NBA Champs this year? Even not, you still hope the Rockets can get into the playoff and can advance further than the first round, right?

I believe the best result for bball Team China in the past is quarter-finalist.They bball fans there may not expect Team China to take the gold medal, not even a top 3 finish. But they do hope they can get some better results, say a semi-finalist this time.
