     ...It's been a rough week for basketball in China. Tuesday, the national team was humiliated by Australia, 71-43, and lost its star player and captain, Wang Shipeng, to injury in the same game.
     And China's team of top university players has lost three in a row, including an 18-point loss to Romania Thursday.
