Okay-la, if we are talking spring break expierences. I have got a good one, it just came to me, it involves some real engaging moments, some compelling events, and a fair number of verbs and adjectives. And I think we all know nothing says fun like verbs and adjectives. Seriously, verbs and adjectives are imperatives when talking about fun a lot of the time....it's the sports on china drive.
This just in, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors Score
Houston Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy has been preaching for almost a month that his team needs to develop a stronger finishing mentality.
He's hoping a recent turn of events will finally get his message to sink in.
Nearly 48 hours after allowing the Utah Jazz to rally past them in a pivotal game for home-court advantage, the Rockets expressed their desire to close out games better and learn from their recent run of late-game miscues heading into this morning's home game against the Golden State Warriors.
The Rockets have surrendered a trio of fourth-quarter leads in the past three games, sweating out a pair of wins in Los Angeles and dropping a game to the Jazz.
With the playoffs right around the corner, the Rockets are well aware that they need to do a better job of putting games away. Luther Head is back in the line up for the combustable ones against the Warriors. The team's leading three-point shooter missed the past two games with a bruised right shoulder, but he practiced Tuesday. And of note here, Yao Ming's back up- Rockets center Dikembe Mutombo, 40, is no longer the NBA's oldest player. That honor now belongs to Kevin Willis, the 44-year old power forward who is making a comeback with the Dallas Mavericks. "He's no longer the grandfather of the NBA," Rockets star Tracy McGrady said of Mutombo.
China's Sun Xiang saw some action with his Dutch team of PSV Eindhoven in battle against Liverpool at the start of the second half of the European Champions League quarterfinal.
After the first half of the game, during which the PSV Eindhoven gave up one goal at home to Liverpool, PSV head coach Ronald Koeman replaced Jefferson Farfan with the young Chinese player, who played left midfield. It was the first change of players in the field.
Liverpool took the lead over PSV at around the 27th minute when Jamie Gerrard scored. The England midfielder drove into the box to plant a header from a Steve Finnan into the far corner, as PSV's goalkeper Heurelho Gomes had no chance.
With the game nearly ending, Liverpool broke PSV's defense three times. Taking the game 3-0. Sound's like PSV may be in need of one Wang Da-lei, you know China's national team goalie, as you've heard before in the sports on china drive. They are in negotiations to get em.
China will spend less on security for the 2008 Olympic Games than other previous host countries but is confident of delivering a secure Games, an official says.
"Our cost will be controlled below that of other host countries, while also ensuring that the security work proceeds smoothly," Liu Shaowu, head of the security department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) explains. Greece was forced to spend a record 1.5 billion US dollars on security for the 2004 Games in Athens in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. ¡¡¡¡ Liu says relying on domestic providers for surveillance systems and other necessary equipment had helped keep costs low, but China has also drawn on the foreign expertise and experiences as to how to ensure the safety of the 2008 Olympics.
And I say to all of you now, sagfety is also a priority here as well so if you feel neccessary maybe put on a helmut. Cause once you hear thsi news you might start banging your head against the wall...That's the sports on china drive.
