Hong Kong was lost to the England in the Opium War in 1841. It was back to china on June 30, 1997. But Hong Kong keeps some special rights to have their own law,congress,goverment, flag,.......basketball association. US cannot sell weapon to Hong Kong.
Just think about why there are more than one team from Britian playing in the soccer world games. I think there are three or four teams, right?
Just watched the fourth Q of this game on the net. I'm surprised that Ming played at this Q with four young guys. (I thought he was rest at the garbage time). The players of Hong Kong didn't know how to shoot over Ming. He controled the paint. Although he didn't get many points, his defence was the key factor to win this game. He must have many blocks. (stat didn't show the block) Look at the stat. Ming played first Q (not sure, usually he does) and fourth Q. 2Q and 3Q are close. 1 Q:28-9 2 Q:19-9 3 Q:26-14 4 Q:39-6
