    Basketball: Roster for Friendly Basketball Game Released

    China's men's basketball coach, Jonas Kazlauskas, unveils the roster for the friendly matches against the American team.

    The 19-member list includes China's top players Tang Zhendong, Jiao Jian and Yi Jianlian.

    China's NBA star, Yao Ming, will miss the match due to injury.

    NBA's second youngest coach Mike Brown will lead the star-studded American team.

    The matches will be played in five Chinese cities from June 21-30. This will be the team's first game since Jonas took helm of the men's team in April.

    The Chinese national team will train from June 10 in Zunyi western China's Sichuan province.

    Far as I know, Yao is going to play for China National Team this summer as long as he can still breath. Maybe just miss some training or warmup games.

    Either way, good news. Yao gets his rest and also has a chance to still be in shape.

    Yeah, I was just about to ask this. But his former assistance, also the member of coach team in Olympic, Jonas Kazlauskas has been designated as the person taking over the responsibility from Del.
    Del isn't bad, is he?
