wow im watching this and china really does suck. Australia shound't be better China like this. Especially with Del Harris as a coach.
U know, considering international ball is only 40 minutes long, these are extremely high scoring games.

What an ending. China barely escapes with the win as the Australian player's last second good-look 3 pointer misses. Yao played a good game. They saved him for the end. 28 pts, 9 rebs.
Watching this game shows me why Yao is the superstar and can dominate the league in the near future. Also I can now understand why so many people drool over Yi's potential. He has a chance to be great but has a long way to go.
What Yi needs to do now is defense!!! He has been working a lot to gain strength and probably loses some shooting tough.
That was a tough loss to take... But I'm glad Yao did fairly well. I would still like to see him be a bit more agressive around the basket.
Yi runs the floor great as a 7 footer and his jumping ability......he definitely has a great chance to be a poor man's KG. IF China can get a world class PG and a better SF, they are set to compete for a medal in these world games.
