Not Good Enough

For the first time I was able to watch the Chinese national basketball team play in the World Championship on TV. Of course, I was rooting for China to win when it played against Slovenia. It won with a three pointer at the buzzer. For a moment, it looked as exciting as an NBA game.

I'm not knowledgeable in the game of basketball, but I could see that the team was not using Yao Ming to its advantage. Yao should've been getting the ball every time down the post. That way, he could shoot his jumpers or draw the double team. Also, there was lack of defensive rebound and poor defense.

The way the team is now, there is no way China can medal in the 2008 Olympics. But there is hope - get busy training.
