Its a bit late to watch him now. I think the games for China are almost up. This may be their last. Does anyone know for sure? I don't know how the World Championship schedule is. It is also a little late to tell you this, but oh well. About maybe 2 weeks ago, Ya..I mean China played Canada in a exibition game, and NBATV showed some of it. About a week later, China played the US in a exibtion game. Both NBATV and ESPN News showed a good part of that game. Those are all the games that I know that have been on TV.
China will play five games after the game with USA. I don't think any of these games will be watched on TV (at USA).
They start with 4 groups of 4 teams (16 total teams). The top 3 in each group advance (12 teams). Unless Algeria upsets Germany, China is assured of advancing to the next "re-grouping" known as "The Eighth Final Round. From the FIBA website about the "8th Final Round: The 12 teams qualified from the Preliminary Round will be divided into 2 groups (E, F) of 6 teams each. The 3 best-placed teams from groups A and B will play in Group E. The 3 best-placed teams from groups C and D will play in Group F. Each team will play the 3 new teams in its own group (the final score of all games played in the Preliminary Round are valid for this round). If I understand correctly, China is team C3 and will play the first place finisher of Group D (D1) - either Argentina or New Zealand, on Monday. They would play Russia (D3) on Tuesday.
China will advance. Algeria is trailing Germany 52-80 now. If China meet New Zealand in the next round that would be interesting. Remember 2 months ago, China beat NewZealand twice in their invitaional tournament. Yao Ming was quite impressive in those games.
