Anyone else watching?
Yi had a nice start, scoring the first two field goals of the game. China's struggling in the first, though. 27-15 Greece after one.
 
China is 0/13 from three-point land. Yuck. 43-22 Greece with a minute left in the second.
 
I just checked in halfway through the second quarter. Why didn't play Yi play?
 
From the looks of it China is playing more of the bench guys extended minutes. They are playing Yi, Yoa, Sun, and Liu less minutes than all of this tournament and just might be resting the team up for the medal round games
 
Unless they're tanking the game. Loser faces Lithuania while winner faces Australia, I believe.
 
3-point barrage for China now. Defense and rebounding is killing all hopes of a comeback, though.

Yiiii for thriiiii!
Wong from long!
 
THey lsot the game.

Yi only played 24 minutes. Got 11 points on 4/5 shooting and 2 boards. Most important thing is China tanked the game to play Lithuania instead of Argentina. Even more important. If they somehow managed to win against Lithuania they dont play USA until gold/bronze medal match (I think).

24 minutes in olympic time is faster than nba time btw. There is a running clock on made shots. So all in all i think Yi did well considering they were tanking. He made a sweet 3 from the corner and another sweet jumper from 21 feet. You guys are going to fall in love with the swish from his 21 feet jumpshots.
 
China will go on to play Lithuania in 2 days and then the winner of that game goes on to play winner of Spain vs and either aussies or Croatia i'm nto really sure. Then that winner plays for the gold.

Lithuania lost for the first time today and were blown out by the aussies. They really have no one to answer Yao/Yi and I expect China to win. Then it'll be a tough game against Spain most likely. China has shown the ability to beat Spain before, so this should be a good game. If they lose they'll play for the bronze. China has already exceeded my expectations and advanced from the Group of death aka Group B. I'm very proud of these guys. Anything more is gravy.
