Yao Ming and the Chinese National team played a young and inexperienced Serbia team Thursday in the FIBA Stankovic Cup tournament.

Despite only playing 13 minutes because it being his first real game since February, Yao still scored 11 points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field, 7-of-10 from the line. He also grabbed 4 boards and had 3 blocks despite showing obvious rust. The Chinese won the match 96-72.
