"Don't be robotic!" That was the advice coming from Chinese basketball coach Bob Donewald to his players during practice Wednesday.

China has lost the first two games of the Olympics and Donewald is trying to get his players to loosen up and improvise as the game goes along.

They play Australia on Thursday, and desperately need a win to start validating all the changes Donewald has made since taking over the program three years ago.

"We need results," he says.
