The Chinese have certainly been game, hitting three early three-pointers--including one by Yao--to send the crowd into a frenzy. A few of the arena volunteers cheered Yao's long-distance shot, only to be reprimanded by their supervisors. Apparently volunteers here are not supposed to cheer. One apologized to nearby media members....
