China showed no leadership,heart and willingness to win as they were trailing by as much as 30 in the second quarter and never made an effort to come back! Yi Jianlian did not have a good game with only 9 pts on 2/14 shooting and Sun Yue only had 5pts and 1 assist.

Memphis Grizzlies defeat Team China 86-77
Team China lose again in Las Vegas versus a team off the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies in the first summer leauge game for China. Rudy Gay on three occasions posterized Yi and China looked out hustled throughout the entire game. However Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue both had relatively good games. Yi scored 23pts and made the highlight reel with a powerful block that send the ball down the court. He got it back and slammed it home after faking up two defenders. Sun Yue had only 6pts but show some nifty passing and finishing the game with 9 assists. He also showed some great tenacity sprinting down court after a turnover to block an easy layup. To sum up this game, the Chinese draft prospects looked great but the rest of the Chinese team with the exception of Wang Zhizhi and Zhu Fangyu's were on a completely differnt level.
Here are the highlights:

China loses to Mavericks in Dallas
By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News
esefko@dallasnews.com
The Mavericks need to get more athletic and stronger at their big positions and are gauging free-agent possibilities to that end.
But closer to home, a pair of players who may be battling for playing time next season were showing their stuff Tuesday night.
And in Pops Mensah-Bonsu's case, his stuffs, his blocks and his defense.
Mensah-Bonsu turned in the performance of the night as the Mavericks' summer-league team made its debut with a 105-100 victory over China's national team in an exhibition at Moody Coliseum.
Mensah-Bonsu has more than a clue about what will keep him on the Mavericks' roster next season. Offensive rebounding, defense and blocked shots are the keys.
The fact that he overshadowed rookie Nick Fazekas, who also plays power forward, doesn't hurt Mensah-Bonsu's standing.
"That's what they've told me to work on from the start," he said. "I have to be an active, energy guy. That's what I do. Offensive rebounding and defense."
And some scoring, too. Mensah-Bonsu had a string of highlights against China on his way to a team-high 24 points. Tops on the list was a catch of a missed Fazekas 3-pointer. He followed it with a monster slam-dunk on which he was fouled for a three-point play.
Of his 10 rebounds, eight came on the offensive end. Fazekas finished with 14 points and three rebounds.
One of the quality moments for the 6-9 Mensah-Bonsu came in the second quarter when he rejected Yi Jianlian, the No. 6 overall pick in last week's draft.
The nice-sized crowd at Moody Coliseum roared its approval.

The Mavericks will be taking a good, long look at Mensah-Bonsu this summer, as well as point guard J.J. Barea. The team must decide in August whether to exercise options for next season on both. The decision on Barea must come by Aug. 1. For Mensah-Bonsu, it's Aug. 31.
If they are not guaranteed a second season, they will be come unrestricted free agents.
"I want to make it so there is no doubt in their mind," he said. "I don't want any gray area. I definitely want to be a Maverick next season."
Waiting on a decision: The Mavericks have hopes of signing free-agent P.J. Brown, but first they must wait for him to return from a family vacation.
After that, Brown's agent said Tuesday that the 6-11 center-forward will make a decision on whether he is retiring.
For now, the Mavericks are talking to a slew of agents every day but are waiting for situations to evolve.
"It's like a sailboat in a storm," said Donnie Nelson, president of basketball operations. "You don't always know which way the wind is going to blow."
The Mavericks are talking daily to Jeff Schwartz, the agent for Jerry Stackhouse, and the two sides are making slow progress, he said.

Pre Draft Workout Video of Sun Yue
He measured at 6'9'' 217lbs and recorded a standing vertical of 32'' and a 3 step vertical of 34.5''. Sun showed some excellent lane agility and quickness though he did missed some ugly layoffs and three pointers that hit the front rim. However the Lakers must have believed that these mistakes are highly correctable and still picked Sun Yue for his potential.

Yao Expects Big Things With Adelman Coaching Rockets
By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN, Associated Press Writer
Posted Jul 4 2007 11:23AM
SHANGHAI, China (AP) -- Yao Ming suspects things will work out well with Rick Adelman coaching the Houston Rockets. The star center says Adelman's up-tempo game reminds him of the way the Chinese national team plays.
Attending a Special Olympics event Wednesday in his hometown of Shanghai, Yao said he had several conversations in Houston with the former Sacramento Kings coach.
"Our exchanges were very good,'' Yao said. "I'm pretty familiar with his style. It's pretty much like the national team's.''
Hoping to end the team's recent history of postseason flops, Houston hired Adelman in May to replace Jeff Van Gundy, Yao's first and only other coach in the NBA.
Adelman, favors a fast-paced, high-scoring offense in contrast to Van Gundy's more methodical, defensive approach.
"It's a whole new situation, and I expect big things of next season,'' Yao said.
Yao felt an emotional impact with Van Gundy's departure. It was Van Gundy who had pushed hard to acquire Yao from his former team, the Shanghai Sharks.
"I spent four years with him so naturally the impact on me is relatively bigger,'' Yao said.
Earlier, Yao joined more than 1,000 athletes and volunteers at a suburban community center in creating tiles for a ceramic wall to promote the Special Olympics, which Shanghai is hosting from Oct. 2-11.
Yao was cheered when he entered the auditorium. He bantered on stage with a host before discussing the Special Olympics project with a ceramics specialist and an intellectually disabled athlete.
Yao also congratulated China's latest entrants to the NBA, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, who were drafted last week by Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Lakers. Yao urged Yi to concentrate on his game and let Yi's representatives handle attempts to work out a trade from the Bucks.
"The most important thing is to play well,'' Yao said. "A player's value is how he performs on the court.''

USA U-19 Embarrasses Chinese National Team
On July 1st, the Chinese Men's National Team traveled to Dallas Texas for an exhibition against the under-19 USA youth team to train for the upcoming FIBA World Basketball Championship. Yao Ming was not able to play, however, to many people surprise, Yi Jianlian flew to Dallas to lead the team against their US counterparts. Wang Zhizhi returned to the training gym and revisited the old locker room that he shared a couple years ago with he's Maverick teammates Nowitzki and Nash. Facing a U-19 team that never played with each other before, the Chinese National Team was obliterated beyond imagination. China had all their key A-team players except Yao and physically bigger, more experienced than the US side which was a ragtag group of 17-18 year olds. This game serves to show that the Chinese side's total lack of aggression and attitude when faced with a inferior opposition. The US side had no Oden or Durant, but were still able to crush the Chinese team 91-75. This begs us to question just how NBA ready is Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.
