The USA men's basketball team easily handled China last night, winning 101-70. The star-studded American team put on a dunking clinic, stealing the ball 14 times for easy fast break points. Yao Ming had a double-double--13 points and 10 rebounds. Zhu Fangyu was the second leading scorer for China with 11 points and 8 rebounds.Expect a better game tonight when the two countries' women's teams meet. Last time they played, China won 84-81, behind 26 points from point guard Miao Lijie. China played strong defense as well, forcing 18 turnovers and holding Lisa Leslie to just 10 points. In the teams' first meeting of that tournament, the USA won, 86-61.
The USA has made some personnel changes since then, most notably adding Candace Parker, the most exciting player in women's basketball right now.
