This blog is going to be short, we have to get on the bus to the airport immediately following our game so we can head home. We will be driving three hours to another airport for a 7 am flight to Beijing…for some reason the freeway doesn’t allow buses after 2am…why? Kind of strange since it appears that there aren’t many other driving rules here (smog everywhere, poor drivers, no police to direct traffic, people honk incessantly, etc).
Everyone can’t wait for everything back home… and we get to come home on a great note…
There’s really only one thing to say….. and this photo says it all!!!!
We played a great game beating the home Chinese National B team 65-55 despite the Chinese team shooting 29 free throws to our 7, and 25 fouls being called on Team USA to 8 on China. It’s great to get a win like that, in a hostile home environment.
It was a great day. We’ll post some final thoughts on the trip after our return to the states..but it’s off to travel home now!!!!
You can read Coach Ryan Johnson’s blog from this link. There are some great pictures of the areas visited in China as well as more game info.
Congratulations to all players and to the coaching staff, that was really a big win !
