scoring 17 in the fourth quarter.[nba.com]
With Team China down one, it set a pick and roll with Yi to create a
mismatch. When the mismatch happened, they fed Yi on the low post and he
put home the game-winner.
Cavs�� Matt Walsh nailed a 3-pointer with 18.3 seconds left to give
Cleveland an 84-83 lead before Yi��s heroics.
Yi struggled in the first three quarters, missing all six of his shots.
His first field goal did not come until the 9:45 mark of the fourth
quarter. However, Yi had a monster fourth quarter, scoring 17 of his
team-high 20 points (3-11 FG, 14-17 FT) in the quarter. Yi also grabbed
four rebounds and collected eight fouls in the win.
Wang ZhiZhi accounted for 18 points (5-9 FG, 5-6 FT) and seven rebounds
for Team China.
2006 first round pick Shannon Brown had a game-high 26 points (11-16 FG)
in 32 minutes of action for the Cavs, while Daniel Gibson produced 14
points (2-4 FG, 10-11 FT) in just 17 minutes of play. Gibson suffered a
left ankle sprain in the second quarter and did not return.
��We didn��t execute down the stretch,�� Gibson said of the Cavs play.
��We gave them a lot of easy baskets. We had a lot of fouls which gave
them a lot of easy points.��
