China's national basketball team beat the Australian Brisbane
Bullets 82-62 on Monday, to conclude a three-run warm-up series
between the two sides, they finished with two wins and a loss.

The 7-foot-6 player Yi Jianlian sunk 18 points, while Houston
Rockets center Yao Ming added 17.
However, the series' short intervals between games were blamed
for the poor form. Many players have questioned the overly busy
schedule, with many teams suffering from fatigue.
China continued their on-par form from the initial whistle,
building up a stable lead that they never conceded right through to
the end.
The team will play their next warm-up game on September 28,
against another Aussie squad, the Sydney Kings.
