Game is on MSNBC, currently in the 2nd Q. China is leading powerhouse Spain, 39-30. Very competitive game so far.
did anyone just see what I saw? What. the. hell..... He like, tried to tackle the Liu, but did an air tackle and landed on his head. What an idiot!
AHAHAHAHAA. Did anyone see number 10?? The guy who tried to tackle Liu (I think). That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I mean no offense, but that is going on youtube, and will definately be in the Basketball blooper section . That was a goalkeeper dive, he lost his mind . Anyways, China is doing amazing. Yao was standing tall and strong. I think China can win this game.
Yao really needs to improve his defense , he struggles on pick n roll and against perimeter shooting bigs so he really need to dominate inside and he is not doing it.
I still don't know what exactly that was. It was like a flop gone wrong. Like he completely forgot where he was and only could do the first thing on his mind, flop. That had me rolling on the floor at 4 in the morning.
Yao is drawing so much attention in the paint, it's creating open shots for others. The outlet on that last layup by Liu was great, too bad it wasn't an assist. Yeah, Yao can do better, but it was a reasonable half against a great opponent.
hopefully team yao could pull this off...knowing china doesn't have any closers, and yao being at 60%, 4 qtr is going to be hell.
