just to present an alternate view, china might mount an ambush , and change their mind and send the 'A' team instead of the 'B' team. Yao ming was supposed to have an operation and now he changed his mind. i wonder why? its better for other asian countries to expect the worst and for china to actually send their 'A' team:

Yao to Skip Operation, Return to National Team

by Arthur Volbert - May 17, 2007
According to the China Daily, Ming Yao (226-C-80) will return to the Chinese national team in the middle of June to join its summer training camp. The Chinese Basketball Association reports that Yao said in a phone conversation that he has cancelled a scheduled foot operation and instead will return to China next month.

It has been around 10 days since the Houston Rockets were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Ming Yao previously told the media that he would have an operation on his ankle joint after the playoffs, after which he would recuperate for three to four weeks. But later, his agent said the operation wasn't confirmed yet.

Since the Philippines is planning to bid to host the FIBA-world qualifiers for the olympics next year, I was thinking that this might be a good time for the Philippines to hold a parallel world basketball championships simultaneously with a height limit of 6 feet and below. This will settle once and for all who is the best in asia and the world. China is good only because they have 1.3 billion people to choose their good 7 footers, but how will china do against countries with shorter players? this will be the final ultimate test of basketball wizardry as to who are the best basketball players in the world pound for pound , inch for inch. This will also dramatize the need that there needs to be height divisions in basketball: at least 2 height divisions ---> unlimited height division and either 6 feet and below or 6'5" and below.
if boxing has weight divisions, then basketball can also have height divisions . it is commonsense and logical.

China National team lost to China Junior National team at 67-74 in Jiang Su last night (May 20) <---- Is it true????

Yes that is ture

[CHINA TEAM]

Yeah，Spainsh friend，i agree with your opinion。we still power！~no matter china A team and B team！~

[CHINA TEAM]

I do not agree with u spanish man for many reasons:
1-Of course Chine is the best team in asia but i don't think their B team will be like Team A and u know that Chine A without Yao And Lebanon without Fadi el khatib in Doha 2006 game chine defeat Lebanon by 2 pts,and in last asian championship in Quatar 2005,chine defeat lebanon by difficulty.
.

haha，dear，“2pts”？or “difficulty”，that is not important，most important is we beat you again and again without YAO and DU FENG（my pic dunk no15 member），that is enuogh！in my see，final result is everything，beat you with 2pts=with 50pts。In fact，if you can beat us in future，you can say these better

Gian wasn't that good when he played for Ateneo. I have a feeling it's because he was being forced to play center even though he's skinny for his size. I'm hoping that he makes the transition to the 3 or 4 position in the States since it's more suited to his body type and he seems more comfortable facing the basket. In 4-5 more years, he could be better than Danny Siegle.

When highlights of Chiu were shown on an American channel, he was basically playing the PF/C positions although being the tallest and best big man in his high school he was playing the center position most of the time.

There are still no reports of any NCAA colleges signing him up. If that's the case, he might end up playing in a community college at worst or at best an NCAA Division II or III school. Hopefully he at least joins a Div II school since Div II schools have produced some players before (Devean George).
