NMA TV: Chinese - Georgetown Basketbrawl News

Fortunately, Word War III did not begin today as the Chinese Aggressors and the Georgetown basketball team made amends for their Basketball brawl the day before. The coaches and team representatives met and exchanged souvenirs and shook hands at the Beijing airport. And as expected and right on time, Taiwan's NMA TV quickly weighed in on yesterday's fiasco between the Georgetown "Diplomat" Hoyas and the Bayi Military Rockets Thugs in another very funny news animation:




At the end of the video a rematch between Georgetown and Bayi is announced, however, according to Georgetown Hoyas Basketball: HoyaSaxa.com the Hoyas will instead play the Liaoning Panpan Dinosaurs on Sunday at the Nike Festival of Sports in Shanghai:

"A change to the schedule for the third game of the series in Shanghai: as might be expected, the return match with the Bayi Army Rockets will not be played. Instead, the Hoyas have scheduled the Liaoning Panpan Dinosaurs."

GO HOYAS!

China vs Georgetown in "Basketbrawl"

Via The Washington Post August 19

Yesterday in Beijing, during the “China-U.S. Basketball Friendship Match”, a game between the Georgetown Hoyas and the Bayi Military Rockets suddenly exploded into a bench-clearing brawl after a Georgetown player was fouled. This melee included punches, tackles, and even some chair throwing by some of the players.

Also some Chinese spectators threw plastic water bottles at the Hoyas players and fans as the team quickly left the court. There reportedly was another spectator armed with a stanchion who also got involved in the chaos. The heavy-hitting game, which was held at the Olympic Sports Center Stadium court, was tied at 64 with just over nine minutes to go when this happened:




One Chinese doctoral student was quoted by Gene Wang as saying “I can tell the Chinese players provoked the conflict... The [Bayi] basketball players have got a bad habit of revenge on every small, unfair thing in the Chinese Basketball Association. It’s a hooligan’s habit.”

Here is the Chinese news video for last year's brawl between China and Brazil.

Also in today's other mini Beijing brawl, White House reporters covering Vice President Joe Biden were shoved out the exit of the Great Hall of the People by Chinese authorities...
