I would have never thought that China would put forth such a poor showing on the international basketball stage. It's obviously not Yao's fault. Having Wang would have definetly helped the scoring load. Bateer had his good moments, but is far from reliably good. Weidong seems to be a decent shooter. I guess it boils down to lack of ball control and coaching decisions. Hopefully they will be better in the future. I hate to see Yao Ming suffer and lose like this. Yao update: halftime, 15 minutes played, 21 points, 6 boards, 1 asissts, 2 TO, 0 blocks, 8/10 FG, 5/5 FT
The first half: Yao got the ball and China kept close Yao Ming: 21p, 6r for the first half, with a 8/10 PG. Wow....
Yao Ming has played well the first half, and also, HE GOT the BALL. <table> <tr> <td>Category</td> <td>Ming</td> <td>Team Combined</td> <td>Ming's Percentage</td><tr> <tr> <td>Play Time </td> <td>16</td> <td>100</td> <td>16%</td><tr> <tr> <td>Points</td> <td>21</td> <td>49</td> <td>41%</td><tr> <tr> <td>Shoot Attempts</td> <td>10</td> <td>29</td> <td>36%</td><tr> <tr> <td>Rebounds</td> <td>6</td> <td>14</td> <td>44%</td><tr> <tr> <td>Assists</td> <td>1</td> <td>10</td> <td>10%</td><tr> <tr> <td>Turn Over</td> <td>2</td> <td>6</td> <td>33%</td><tr> </table>
If anyone is wondering, the hyped up Denver nugget center is all but non-existant in this game. Menke Batere has been on the bench for all but 11 mins of the game with 4 personal fouls. At this moment Ming is at: pt26 rb13 ast2 bs2 PF2, and Menke just took his place on the floor. Not because of fouls though.
Wind & Sea, I went to see two games in Indi, one with Algeria and one with the U.S. I like what I saw about Yao's play, and he held himself well against both teams in the paint. But I don't think I need to talk about it here because Ming is no longer a mystery and the basketball experts have already analyzed his play in detail and depth. I did take some pictures from the games, but the quality is not good and cannot compare with the pictures posted extensivelly including here. my camera sucks..or is it because I have not learned how to shoot with a moving mode? Forget it anyway, since all NBA games will be aired and we no longer need amateur photographers to help solve the Ming mystery. Yes, I did see Fa-lung-gong demonstrations outside of the fieldhouse, and some of them were in the game, too. I heard this is why Chinese TV didn't air those games live. How pathetic they are!! By the way, congrats to your accomplishments at sina.com. I think you becomes a Yao Ming expert both here and there.
Yeah, Ming is looking good. but Thank God. Ming is not so happy with the lose of the team..... He is a classic team player.
Canon powershot s30 is a very good digital camera. It does have many many functions you need. It is cheap. Falungong should be allowed to show on TV. People will know how pathetic and nasty they are . Who is W&B on sina board?
