what's Yao doing a couple of feet outside the 3-pointer line? Timeout China, Melo dunked the ball to make it 21-8.
Timeout over, Now ball stolen by Kirk Hinrich, 3-pointer missed by Joe Johnson I think. Wade drives, makes short jumper.
Brand, Wade, Hinrich and..dang, don't know who else, can't recognize their jerseys. Yao with 7 points 5-5 FT. USA leads 23-10
there are empty seats in the arena, how can that be? *rushs off to buy tickets* Yao fouled by......don't know who.......Yao makes first free throw......makes two, has 10 points, USA leading 28-12, Brad Miller comes on.
man, why aren't they contesting shots? Luckily Wade missed a wide open jumped on the free throw line, Brad miller with the rebound after a miss, no no. 7 misses 3- pointer. Yi Jianlian fouled by Miller. Almost dunked the ball.
Finally! Somebody other than Yao or Wang Zhizhi scores, Yi Jian lian makes both free throws, Chris Paul comes in but Wade bringing up the ball....drives in and makes a layup.
Sigh, nobody sees Johnson under the fasket. Fangyu Zhu (somewhere like that) makes tree pointer, Wade missed dunk, half court shot by China just misses off the glass.
Battier fould Yao Ming again...... But Yao Ming missed his 2 free throws. Still stuck at 10 points only as USA now adopts Hack-The-Yao strategy. Foul Yao Ming whenever he is in position to shoot.
Wade on the fast break, dunks, as to the Hack the Yao strategy, they only foul him when he shoots, and Yao is an 80% free short shooter (admittedl,y China is only making 3-12 FGs on 2-pt field goal).
It's pretty bad when Yao is probably thinking, "Man, Steve Francis could get the ball to me better!" In all fairness, Yao is frequently doubled.
