The match ended with the score 63-60 in favor of the Californians, who already last Saturday, flew home to Los Angeles. But no full squad: three players left in China. And not in order to celebrate his win.
However, the game took place without their participation. But the fact is that the Chinese police decided to detain freshmen , Lungelo ball, Jaylen hill and Cody Riley for a series of interrogations.
Young people suspected in the theft of sunglasses at the Louis Vuitton store located in the Mall next to their hotel. The cost of designer accessory is about 4,900 yuan, the equivalent of $750.
In China laws are harsh: anyone who stole goods worth from 4,000 to 7,000 yuan, faces a prison term of one to two years, reports The Washington Post. Although, the probability of a mitigation of punishment is quite high, if the accused pleads guilty and will pay compensation.
After a whole week spent in a police station in Hangzhou city on Sunday, the athletes still out on bail.
On Tuesday, November 14, the airline company Delta Air Lines, on Board of which were ball, hill and Riley, landed at the International airport of Los Angeles.
