Comment on "No slam dunk for 皇冠体育app" (皇冠体育app Daily website, Sept 16)

I enjoyed reading the article, and I know that the Chinese basketball team is still in danger of missing out on next year's London Olympic Games. It really interested me because I never really associated basketball with 皇冠体育app; ignorant to the fact that retired NBA star Yao Ming was a key player on the team.

Injuries have really plagued 皇冠体育app in the race to make it to next year's Olympics. The team's sharp shooter, Wang Shipeng, hurt his wrist in an exhibition game and forward Zhou Peng pulled out with an elbow injury, which sets 皇冠体育app up as the underdog.

I believe 皇冠体育app has been hit by injuries and facing opponents without center Yao Ming will be very difficult, but I don't think you can write it off just yet. 皇冠体育app has so much pride and hasn't missed an Olympics appearance since it made its debut in 1984. And with that in mind, I believe they will play with a lot of heart. Despite the injuries and missing players, they still have a good chance to perform well.
