Greetings from Zji China

We have traveled from Shanghai for a two game stand in the city of Zji. Last night we played the Jordan National Team in front of 3000 Chinese fans. It was a beautiful arena with huge jumbotrons at each end of the court. It turned out to be a great defensive game that ended in a 59-59 tie. Jordan did not want to play overtime because they will face China tonight (Sunday) whereas we have a day of rest before we face China on Monday.

On Thursday, Qatar faced the Shanghai Sharks and won 91-74. Qatar shot 48% from the field while holding the Sharks to 37%. There were a couple of hundred Yao Ming Basketball Campers in attendance with photo opportunities and autograph signing lasting (40) minutes after the game. We will travel back to Shanghai on Tuesday, finish training and fly to Japan on Thursday. Our opening game will be on Saturday, July 28th.
