Beijing, January 25 - Comments from player Huang Xunan (CHN) after Netherlands beat China 58-46 in the men's bronze medal match.

On CHN's performance:

"I think our level play was only so-so. We lacked energy in the third quarter and did not defend well."

On expectations from this match:

"I never thought we would win, as the Netherlands are a very strong teom. We just learned from them."

On being excluded from the court:

"I felt very upset at the time, but my absence was not a crucial factor for the team in the final quarter."

On improvements in the future:

"I committed many fouls during the match, mainly through charging with the ball. My wheelchair handling must improve and I will practice using the brake properly to eliminate such problems."

On his role as captain:

"Actually, I was only the captain on the court today. Our captain is another more experienced player. I just encouraged the whole team and reminded them to defend."

On the spectators:

"I never thought so many people would watch this match. It was very encouraging."
