OS Beijing 2008 Paralympics Olympics Pekin

Tens of million spectators, thousands of waving flags, and all eyes fixed on the tv sets, were not enough for Yao ming and friends, to compete against the American dream team, whose players announced earlier that a win in china’s Olympic is crucial and decisive.

The game started real close on scores, with a very excited Chinese team, showing a huge enthusiasm all over the basketball court and definitely counting on the leadership of their NBA’s giant Yao (Houston rockets), scoring 13 points under the well-built defensive strategies of the USA team, as other team mates weren’t so lucky in finding the net from the 3 points line, knowing that the downtown shots are a lethal weapon of the Chinese dragon.

In the 2^nd period, the game started to get loose from the Asian hosts, as Uncle Sam cruised on with the score difference, leaving a hopeless China way behind, with a gap that almost reached the 40 points, during the game, which later on, turned out to look like a training for the Yankees, and a Showtime blast for the 16000 Chinese fans cheering for their locals, and for their NBA idols such as the MVP ( most valuable player) Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and Dwaine wade, whose show kept the crowd on their feet, despite the massive defeat: 101-70

During a pre-match interview, coach mikes Krzyzewski declared that he’s counting on the talent, strength and nerves of steel, as a way to beat China. Kobe Bryant made it clear that the US has to bring gold back home. Other wise he’d rather change his family name and disguise into an Italian and stay abroad and away from the states.

Was it a joke?

The Americans were never as determined to bring back the gold and the glory to their home nation, (accompanied by their current and former presidents: Bush, and Bush senior), after earning only a bronze medal in Athens 2004 and a dramatic semi final loss in 2006’s world championship against the Greeks.

Betting reports, reported and gossiped that a large portion of the bets is in favor of the Spanish team, but came clean that the dream team is leading by a considerable integer. As bet sites and panes deal with results, I bet that there will be no vacant seats in the stadium, and definitely no left over when it comes to the basketball tickets sold in Beijing, for this particular game, that’s expected to fulfill all the corners and passageways of the stadium.

The next group B preliminary game will put the American persistence, in face of the world champions, the Spaniards, led by their NBA star, Pau Gasol (Los Angeles Lakers). This is definitely not a basketball game to be missed, especially that’s considered to be an early final! We expect to benefit from the basketball hoops, as it embraces the 2 poles of the game on the 16^th of august.
