SHENZHEN， March 17 (Xinhua) -- Guangdong's CBA All-Star player Yi Jianlian scored only 15 points in the Game 3 and 4 of their semifinal clash against Shenzhen. But Guangdong coach Du Feng and teammate Carlos Boozer still spoke highly of Yi.


Yi， widely considered the best basketball player in China after Yao Ming retired in 2011， finished only eight points and eight rebounds from 37 minutes on Friday.


Du said that Yi played an important role in Guangdong's 90-81 win over Shenzhen on Friday， which put them within one victory of reaching the CBA finals.


"Yi played with injury， which affected his performance." said Du. "Maybe he didn't score a lot but he can still offer a lot to our defense and to protect our boards. His cover and assists also helped a lot. As long as he's on the court， Yi is the leader and core of the team. I think every player should learn from his professionalism."


These views were echoed by Yi's teammate Boozer. The former NBA all-star power-forward finished with 27 points， but he said Yi's performance was more important than his match-high points.


"We all knew that Yi was not at his 100 percent. But he still decided to play. His appearance on court just gave us more confidence to play，" said Boozer. "No matter he scored 30 or only two points， he is sacrificing himself for the team and doing good things for the team. I'm honored to play with a guy like him."


BRUSSELS Cheap Mike Remmers Jersey , Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- China's Belt and Road Initiative, if linking up with trans-European networks, will offer new opportunities for both European and Chinese companies, senior European Union (EU) officials told Xinhua on Wednesday at a reception to mark China's 68th National Day Cheap Riley Reiff Jersey , which falls on Oct. 1.


"Belt and Road is of course a very important initiative, and we see how it has developed over the last couple of years.

The Belt and Road Initiative was proposed by China in 2013 and aims to build a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along ancient trade routes.


Wiegand said European countries had been doing trade this way for centuries.


"But there are many new investment possibilities for European companies not only in China, but also in Asia," he said Cheap Danielle Hunter Jersey , adding that the initiative also provided opportunities for Chinese investors.


To this end, Wiegand said the EU and China needed to make sure the initiative was linking up with the Trans-European networks, which have been established over the years.


Meanwhile, Vice President of the European Parliament Dimitrios Papadimoulis praised the Belt and Road initiative Cheap Eric Kendricks Jersey , saying it was positive for both sides.


The Greek legislator added that his homeland could be "the gate of Chinese economy to Europe."


When it comes to the EU's concern over the initiative, Papadopoulos said, "Of course there are problems, there are issues and there are distances between us Cheap Trae Waynes Jersey , but the only solution to those problems is dialogue and the investment is in our mutual interests."


"China and the European Union are, and will be, two pillars of stability in the globe," he said.
