Just wondering, if the team is not Chinese, would you bash them again and again for no reason like this? There are always bashers like you who are itching to bash the Chinese whenever possible.
If th ...

I did not bash.  I only tell in a sportsman's point of view.  When I discuss NBA with my friends, I do not care they have Chinese on their team or not, we discuss how they played not their race.  This is honest truth.  I started to watch NBA in 1990 when there is no any Chinese playing or any of them have been to China.  Do not assume I bash Chinese.  

The only thing about Chinese is that if this is not news about Chinese teams, I would not post here since this is a Chinese forum.  I would still discuss with my friends that the team did not have any passion no matter what team it is.

Now you tell me, if this is not a Chinese team, would you analyze differently?

They win maybe because that news really has some impact on the team so they learned their mistake, which was very good thing.  Learn from mistake.  THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DO WRONG AND TRY TO OVERCOME IT.  They do not think they are all super-Chinese and they did not make any mistake.  For this I praised them.  

However when that news came out, they did not win yet so you cannot assume they can win then.

It is the same analysis with any team. You have to understand that these athletes are under pressure. You need to know how to relieve of the pressure and athletes have different ways of dealing with it. If you lost a game and you became uptight, you will lose again. You can even crack a few jokes with your teammates.
This is actually a non-issue, but the bashers are jumping on this chance. You keep on saying the Chinese has no passion. This is not only unfounded but the coach himself has since said that he is satisfied wit the team. The way I see it is that the Chinese are full of passion and they know how to deal with the pressure rather than being too uptight after losing a game.
The coach was so unprofessional with his unfounded comments. He claimed that he will not resign with Chinese team because he wants to be closer to his wife in Montreal. He claimed that some of the Chinese curlers will retire after this. But these are all irrelevant comments that should be made after the competition.

I did not mean Chinese has no passion.  I meant that the player in the Chinese team in that articles has no passion.  Did you see how USA became so upset after they lost the hockey game?  They treated it seriously.  According to your logic, USA hockey teams should not be too uptight after losing the game right?  They should do what the Chinese team were doing, chatting happily on the bench?

I do not know the coach of that team so I had no comments about that coach.  Maybe the coach made up the whole article but that was not my concern.  I only discuss this article on sportsmanship.

Nevertheless, you still have not answer my question, if this is not a Chinese team but a Canadian team, I would still post because it's Canadian team but would you still try so hard to convince people otherwise?
