Good Job, W&S is the best! Yao seems to be really hurt in that pic. An injury in the WC is what worried the most about Ming this summer. I hope he's OK.
China's Yao Ming, right, and Li Nan, middle, goes up to block the shot of Argentina's Ruben Wolkowyski!!!
Did he injured his leg or something? hope that it is not serious, I am already hoping that China be eliminated in this tournament to rest yao because he will still be playing in the asian games.
Ming is getting double teamed or tripple teamed the whole game, every time, he touches the ball, he has to pass back..argentina pressure the guards the whole game. very good defense by them. it was a very PHYSICAL game, a lot of pushing and dragging, those will be a NO NO in NBA...very Ugly game. Ming is not used to getting double and tripple teamed.
Damn, looks like whoever is footing the hotel bill is putting the Chinese players in a pretty crappy hotel. Come on, how much can a hotel in Indianapolis in September cost?
Not your fault. There were 2 threads simultaneously talking about the game (arrgg). Anyway, the other thread had his stats. According to FIBA's stats, this is what Yao Ming finished with : 28 minutes played 11 pts on 3/4 FG shooting, 5/8 FT shooting 5 rebs 2 assists 2 fouls 4 turnovers
Ming's hurt in the 1st quarter when double teamed and crashed to the floor. (not serious) He's also very dejected by the guard play of NT. Chinese guards were reluctant to give him the ball when he's bouble-teamed. But Ming doesn't agree. He thinks he should still touch the ball and then kick it out.
