Yah, that's exactly why Asian basketball is an absolute JOKE! But they shouldn't feel to bad about it though, Asian soccer is a joke, too
Then CNT should use a scrub center to play Ha. Shaq is often neutralized by Yao. Yao is often neutralized by scrub. So there is no difference in playing against Ha with Yao or a scrub.
Yes, believe it or not, Wang is still better than Ha. Whether that changes in the future is yet to be determined. Yi Jianlian is also better, Tang Zhengdong is most likely better. That Lebanese 5, Joseph Vogel can also give Ha a run for his money (although Ha has more upside, being younger), . In either case, Ha has a lot of improving to do.
A fraction of basketball officials want to make money off Yao by featuring him in homeland games. Bloodsuckers.
With Yao's girlfriend/fiance Ye Li joining Sactown Monaches, I see no reason for him to go back to China in the summer. California is a lot more relaxing than the hellish humid weather of Shanghai.
Are you sure? From what I've read, Sui Feifei and Miao Lijie are the Chinese players that have been signed by the Monarchs.
Why? You holdin'? I realize it's an idea that will never happen because the CBA wants Yao back in China to do endless publicity and other worthless crap that doesn't do squat for anybody but the money men, but the benefits to both the CNT and the Rockets (and Yao) are clear.
I can guarantee you that JVG will never run the Chinese National Team through drills. Letting them use their facility is one thing, but actually training them would be very odd.
Well, if you notice I said JVG-STYLE drills, not actual coaching by the man himself. No, that would be going a bit far.
