It was a very interesting game ,between Serbia and china yesterday. The fans were entertained very well and they were shouting on top of their voices.i have never seen a match that was entertained like the basketball match yesterday at the ongoing Olympics. A spirit of sportsmanship was shown by both the winner and the loser.
Yes both team played it well, but the last 5 minutes on the 4th quarter was the decisive moment for both team, after the fast break there was a 3-pointers war between them, but China makes more mistakes on the offensive move and they have to pay the greatest price ever. good game well played and congratulation for Serbia.
