^ Yeah, these guys are really frustrated. It started with that game against the U.S. which everyone thought China's chances were good. Adding to that disappointment is the injury of losing to Greece. Then top it off with an insulting reporter's stupid question. We in the States all know that China is better than these results and that any team can suffer a bad patch. I can't wait for the NBA to finally go global and for China to have some great teams.

You almost managed not to troll there, Nanhe. Yao was disappointed; Li Nan was frustrated; the reporter was an idiot. The end.

Of course it's a dumb question. What, every single athlete is supposed to have an opinion on every other athlete, despite them being in completely different sports? And also, that was Li Nan that got mad at the reporter, not Yao Ming. All Yao Ming did was express frustration for not playing more.

So asking a Chinese athlete what he thinks of the unfortunate injury of another Chinese athlete, injury which apparently is a national tragedy anyway, is a dumb irrelevant question? I don't get it. It's not like they asked him about Georgia.

To nanheyangrouchuan, I only hope you would not kill Yao Ming's dad and rape his wife, both of whom are CCP members. Do I remember it in a right way you want to kill or rape all the "commies bandits", like every midwest redneck would do?

To nnikba --"Let's enjoy these differences". I agree, since thats the very reason I am staying here, for fun, because I knwo we will always differ and I have never had slightest hope to change nobody here. The world will be a much nicer place if people want to learn instead of to lecture. Fortunately Chinese is not the one who did latter, which is why I choose to respect them.

"After reading many post from you, if feel this forum becoming more a USA-China War.. " That is his point nnikba, and the point of all trolls. I sometimes wonder whether or not it has an effect. Most people would probably read his content and just shrug it off as it sounds like lunacy half the time. If it bothers you, just ignore him.

"When CNN once interviewed Yao Ming if he considered staying in USA after NBA, he simply replied: "my home is China which I will serve the rest of my life."." Sure, and China refused to let his parents move to the US with him for several years. Now he has them and his wife and his big house, along with clean air, water and food and NO HUKOU! Can't wait to see his son as a power forward at UNC.

Eastman, You shouldn't be that extreme, spending time on this forum only to destroy usa... You speak perfect English, use it to teach better than war and fights. It's not because there is worst outside China that you should do the same also. After reading many post from you, if feel this forum becoming more a USA-China War.. Is it useful? Let's enjoy these differences.

To nanheyangrouchuan --"Yao will ...enjoy a comfortable life in the US". You must be a redneck from cold war time when you expected everyone from "commie" countries would seek "political Asylum" in "free world". Dream on, count how many CHinese did that, except some peasants you hate to welcome. You are too dense to know that time is long over. When CNN once interviewed Yao Ming if he considered staying in USA after NBA, he simply replied: "my home is China which I will serve the rest of my life.". I think its high time for you to worry a bit of your "comfort life" in Shanghai, without visa, lol!

You are missing the point eastman, the stupid fen qing reporter asked a stupid question about a non-relevant topic. That was a slap in the face to the Olympic player busting his ass representing your junkyard of a country. Yao will eventually retire from the NBA and enjoy a comfortable life in the US.

Starting your own champaign of Yao Ming is like bashing NBA. Tell me which players in NBA DIDNT lose temper sometimes? Most couragous thing for a loser to do is to think a run-up on victory table is always better than number one. LOL! To comfort the loser's broken heart, let's look forward to closing ceremony, after celebrating China's Golden Harvest 2008, maybe with this stunning Hollywood movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8XI2Chc6uQ
