Tuesday night the Chinese got payback against Angola at the FIBA Diamond Cup tournament in Nanjing, beating them 83-74.
Yao Ming scored 21 points in 29 minutes, shot 8-for-10 from the floor, and grabbed 5 boards. He did miss 2 point-blank shots, two free throws, and had 4 turnovers, but his chemistry with point guard Liu Wei looked great, being the recipient of 5 assists.
