Chinese national team:
projected starters
C-#14 Zhang Xiaoni, 6-5, 1983
PF-#10 Song Liwei, 6-3, 1984
SF-#7 Hu Xiaotao, 6-2, 1982
SG-#5 Bian Lan, 5-11, 1986
PG-#4 Song Xiaoyun, 5-9, 1983
Bench players
Chen Lixin, 6-0, 1984
Pan Li, 5-11, 1985
Zhang Fan, 6-2, 1984
Ji Xiao, 6-4, 1986
Ma Zengyu, 6-0, 1983
Ren Lei, 6-0, 1982
Liu Dan, 6-4, 1986
The team is very young and inexperienced. I expect Monarchs to win this one by a 15-20 pt margin.
Center Chen Nan (6-5, 1983), recently signed by the San Antonio Silver Stars (but won't be in WNBA until 2006 due to some contract issues), is with the team but probably wont play due to an injury. So is Ye Li (6-4, 1981), a key to the team's offense (but better known as Yao Ming's girlfriend).
