    Yao has only 2 shots and China is losing by only 5 points, not bad. Now Yao can exert himself in the 2nd half and that should be the difference in the game.

    why's Yao so passive this game? He only posted up once the whole first half. China cant win with Yao only scoring 10 pts a game.

    He is being tightly guarded....and his team mates could not find him.

    He is not passive. He fought for every position on defense. Did you see that monstrous but clean block he has running back from beyond the arc to swat the ball away from the Greek guard ??

    The problem is the Chinese guards can't handle pressure and are unable to pass the ball to Yao

    He is agressive defensively - they can't seem to get the ball in to him. Greece's game plan is obviously to stop the inbound pass.

    Greece's opponents in the first round had 25 turnovers per game in the first round. The team was also 2nd in steals (after the United States).

    That's my Greece :D we won't play impressive basketball but relentless defence that can disrupt any team's offensive gameplan.

    Lol, the Chinese guard really suck in handling the ball. Turnover after turnover. China should start rebuilding.

    China down by 19. Lots of bone head plays on the part of CNT allowing lots of fast breaks for Greece. Even Yao made a couple of bad plays. Hopefully they can put something together for the 4th quarter.

    Yep, the youth of this Chinese team is really showing. Well, still got a couple more years until the Beijing Olympics.
