Zh, Zhu Fangyu, made a three pointer, Wade responds with a make and a foul. Possibly three point play.
China is really a horrible team outside of Yao. Defense is bad, no real offensive set and lack of confidence. They can't even get Yao the ball when he has great position. And I don't think USA's strategy is to hack-a-yao, they just can't guard him and are forced to foul.
Team USA stomping China today. Our team is far better with Battier on the floor. When he's on the floor - lead increases.
Halftime US 63 - 38 China Summary: US keeps causing turnovers and getting easy fast breaks. The chinese guards cant get a pass into YAO, and whenever he does get the ball, he gets hacked and shoots FTs. Yi showed some nice moves and hussle.
Well 25 points gap by 1H. Maybe Kazlauskas should just bench the key players, particularly Yao Ming to reserve their energy for tomorrow's make-or-break game with Puerto Rico.
Wait. How much man to man has China been playing. Because slapping a zone down on the US is the only way to play them. Going zone on three point shooting Italy and man to man on a superior one on one team in the US? What is the coach thinking? This game is over. Yao better play no more than 5 minutes in the second half (if even that).
DAMN IT. Yao brought the ball up the court, through a US defender nad SHANE BATTIER DREW AN OFFENSIVE FOUL! Come on ref! Yao should've gotten the and 1!
