After thrashing Puerto Rico and the Chinese in exhibition games, the national
team is turning some heads, but not
everyone is competely sold.
Fair enough. No one has won a thing yet. But there's no arguing
that the situation overall has improved: team play is thriving, defense is
dramatically better, and guys are getting along. They forced 34 turnovers
against the Chinese and had 21 steals. You know, going down the court and
not getting a shot off 34 times has to be discouraging.
It's a pretty solid start. There are more exhibition games in China, so
stay tuned.
