Venezuela is also in the first-round group with the USA, China, Australia, France and Serbia. LOS ANGELES - The USA, warming up for a run at their third straight Olympic men's basketball gold, romped to a 106-57 friendly victory over China. Yi Jianlian, now plying his trade in the Chinese Basketball Association after playing for four teams in five NBA seasons, led China with 18 points and seven rebounds. China connected on just 30.9 percent of their shots, and 26 Chinese turnovers led to 36 US points. The game was the second of five exhibitions scheduled over 11 days prior to Team USA's departure for Rio.
