Aren't they the dreamiest? where else can you find guys who shoot 3 pointers 5 seconds into the shot clock? Only in Memphis, Tennessee Im guessing..... Jason Williams has nothing on these guys and their shot attempts. If Wei Fang wants China to have any shot at finishing in the top 8...he better play some Cleveland Cavalier (Mike Fratello) ball. You cant shoot a 3 pointer (which has about a 30% chance of going in) and allow the other team to get long rebounds for shots like layups and dunks which are more like (80%). Be patient work it into Yao and bateer...they are obviously Chuinas two most sure threats on offense. Maybe Wang Zhi Zhi can bring this team together...but i doubt it. WHILE I DO THINK YAO WAS WINDED IT THE SECOND HALF...I dont think he was as winded as he showed.... It seemd liek a lot of times hed get a rebound or see his guards shooting up court and would just stop in the backcourt cause he knew they wouldnt pass, or he knew theyd shoot in 10 seconds and he would have to run back, The great thing is that besides soem dissapointment at his teamates....he still cheers them on. yao is a very emotional player... he complains when fhe feels he has been fouled...he pumps his fists.. Yao looks liek a player who really goes after you when you challenge him...or when you piss him off...he rerally pushes back harder.... I think he can put up 13-10 and 4 blocks a night ....and keep showing signs of development.,.. Theres nowhere but Up for yao.....
And i think Yao's defensive presence is a little skewed...thouigh i think he will eb a force dont expect 6 blocks....cause tonight he played more of a semi zone...but with some practice.....he will definitely be able to make graet defensive plays with hsi agility.
I don't think that China has much of a chance to make to the top eight in the WC. They have USA and Germany in their group. Obviously, they can't beat USA. Since Germany finally has Dirk on their team, China won't have a chance against them either. Only the top two teams in each group advance. So really China has no chance to make it to the top eight. Well, it really doesn't matter that much to us Rox fans. I only hope that Ming doesn't get injured playing in these meaningless games. I'm still worried about his conditioning.
