Chinese basketball team start fight with US team at 'goodwill' exhibition game

lol sooo curb stomping is a military technique…and here i only thought white people under 25 learned from american history x

no, but outnumbering then attacking your enemy is.

FT disparity was like 50 something to 15 in favor of China and the game was still tied at the time. One of the Chinese players started pressing a Hoya in the backcourt and he was being physical so the Hoya lashed out a little bit apparently.

If this was in America at worst a “hold me back” moment would have ensued and the ref probably would have handed out a couple of technicals and that would have been the end of it, but I guess a Chinese player took offense to the Hoya player getting chippy. Also to note, but should not be surprising is that members of that Chinese team are also registered in the People’s Liberation Army.

You can’t really say “chinese team starts fight” when the American player punched first, but whatever. It should not have escalated that much, though.

Why? Its biased reporting to say China team started the fight when clearly by the video that’s not what happened.

The actual article was done very well, though.

Looked like he tried to truck him to me.

Fuck the story…I just found my dream girls.

Sounds like every asian fight I’ve ever seen.

Playing dirty and punching somebody are different things entirely. It’d be different if the Chinese player was shoving and antagonizing the guy, but he wasn’t there was a rough skirmish for the ball. it happens, get over it. Punching somebody after he turns around and is trying to get back into the play is starting a fight.

Those animated stories are hilarious. :lol: I subscribed to that channel.

punch someone in basketball, unsportsmanlike conduct
punch someone in hockey, YEEEHAW THEY FUCKIN FIGHTIN

I’m sure whatever words were exchanged didn’t get by the language barrier, but I’m not saying its anybodys fault, actually. In fact I’d probably say because of the Chinese players the incident reached such an extreme level. You see them chasing down players that clearly were running away wanting no part in the fight.

All I am saying is the thread title is misleading and biased. If he just used the headline from the article it’d be perfect.

Damn!! Shaolin B-Ball in this bitch!!! They gonna beat yo’ ass on this court one way or another!!

-Starhammer-

Peeps here acting like GT is innocent and Bayi is totally the instigator and at fault here.

It takes two to tango.

Oh, by the way. I liked this post. And it wasn’t nationalism or taking a side of this argument, what did it.

I just laughed. Kind of a lot.

I feel a bit bad for the Chinese team, I have a feeling the whole ‘saving face’ cultural issue is playing a part here in a few ways. On that note, does anyone know the score when this erupted? The reporter talking about it had an accent that I couldn’t understand. I can’t say I approve of the Chinese player kicking a player that’s already on the ground but I suspect that one is getting some serious lashings behind closed doors.

The way they hustled, I’m pretty sure 99% of those basketball players were former baseball players. Only athletes that move that fast towards a fight are baseball players (fucking zerglings they are).

Baseball is nearly nonexistent in China. The Chinese team didn’t even understand some of the rules during the 2008 Olympics.

Sure they like to play dirty for those type of basketball games, but let’s see them try that playing Street Basketball!

Oh look black guy defending the black dudes.

Oh look Chinese guy defending the Chinese dudes.

Both yall fucking up. We all know this is either Canda’s or France’s fault.

Anything else is blasphemy.
