China vs. New Zealand- 9/4/02

Well, China blew a 22 pt 1st Q lead and lost 94-88.

Ming played 25 min. (missed a crucial 5 min. stretch in the 4th), with perfect shooting 8/8, 11/11 for 27 pts. 6 reb. 2 assists and 1 blk.

Pretty good numbers. Shouldn't have taken him out in the 4th.

 

so ming didnt miss a shot or FT?

 

He has to be getting paid to lose the games, right?!

 

Wow, nobody is going to be hearing about the Chinese coach needing his FIBA release anytime soon. He might be worse than ML Carr.

 

OK, China is done for the WC.

Here is Yao Ming's final numbers in 6 games:

26.5 mpg
35/46 76% 2p
1/1 100% 3p
36/47 77% fg
42/56 75% ft
7.33 rpg
2.16 apg
2.33 bpg
0.17 spg
19.17 ppg

 

They still have two games to fight for 9th.

 

mings quick moves are making Book lose his hair

 

Oh, I just assumed that when you don't make the cut of the round, you go home.

Thanks.

 

The guy shot 76% from the field!? Wow. In 6 games he only took 45 shots... says a lot about their offensive scheme. I hope the Rockets can get him 12-15 shots a game.

 

very good update guyz
NT likes to lose than win

 

I liked the photo showing Ming---someone correct me if I'm wrong---putting it on the floor? Dribbling? Not that he'd do it much in the NBA, but can you imagine if our boy has handles to go along with shooting, blocking, rebounding, passing, er, sense of humor, cool warm-up threads (the black with yellow)...

 

I have to admit, not missing a FG or FT on 19 total attempts is pretty impressive. Can't wait to see him in a Rockets uni, especially when the other team has to focus on our other players.

 

Geez, I didn't know Count Dracula played for New Zealand, That guy is the scariest thing I have ever seen.
