Just heard Wang Zhizhi will not be able to join his teammates in world championship games. I think rockets should sign him, because it's him who made yao ming a rocket palyer. Yao ming made a promise to his club to get a championship before he leaves to NBA, believe me, Ming will not get that for his club this year if Wang Zhizhi went back to join his club-Bayi. Yes, he is that good, at least in China; he can stop Ming, at least this year. I am really pissed off by the behavior of Chinese basketball association this time. I hope some NBA team will have guts to sign Wang Zhizhi for next season.
Wang zhizhi still a retricted FA to the Mavs. hahahhahahahah Wang is really a scorer but his D sucks...
Most chinese basketball fan who watched this year's games will tell you what I told you: if wang zhizhi went back, Ming's club would not win the champonship this year; and that's what happened last two seasons. The reason of his stay this summer in the United States is to improve his defense. last season was his first season in NBA, I believe you will see a lot of improvement on his defense next season.
hi, why do you want Rockets to sign Wang? It will ruin the relationship of Rockets and CBA. Rockets will be the last team in NBA to sign Wang. I am a Wang fan too, but your suggestion doesn't make any sense.
Oh, maybe rockets should sign Nelson too? if not for him, Wang won't leave China? Wang is stupid, you are not far. he's in no position to be a great player.
Wang is not great, but he is a good player and has potential, good enough for a lot of NBA teams. By the way, before you call anyone stupid, take a look at yourself in the mirror.
Yeh riiiiight, because-it's him-who-makes-Yao-Ming-a-Rocket guy. If you know anything about Rocket, you know Rox doesn't need him. Plus Wang is someone stupid enough to corner himself into an awkawd situation. Plain and simple. But this isn't really the place to discuss that. Do a search in NBA forum, welcome to the board anyway.
Hi, Chinese fans, PLEASE don't bring the fighting between Yao Ming's fans and Wang Zhi Zhi's fans here. Try to love both of them, or go to sina bbs to argue.
Why does Wang get so much attention on this BBS?? There's no room for him on this current team. Plus the only thing I've ever seen him do is hit a few open threes and not much else. I dont dislike the guy but, I'm trying to figure out why it seems like so many poeple want the Rockets to sign him.
I have been wondering the same thing. It makes no sense. Lets sign Wang in one thread, we dont need Rashard in another. Wang was a better then average offensive player but a horrible defensive player IMO. No need for him with Houston.
stupid comments... Ming 2000 and Ming 2002 are TWO freaking DIFFERENT players you ignorant fool............ Ming 2000 fouled out vs USA in what? 15 mins??? Ming 2002 got double double, 3 steals, 4 assits, 66666666666666666666666666666 blocks!!!!!!!! you must be outta ur mind to believe that Wang Zhi Zhi, a tufu boy, can stop Ming.....
Have to tell you, Yao will be in that awkawd situation too. Wang just escaped from there once for all. He is in a much better situation than Yao now. The contact with CBA is the evil. Yao can learn something from Wang to blow out the illegal contracts. Why does wang have to be involed this stupid situation? Why he cannot play for China? Because The contract. China is making a new contract with Wang, a NBA player! I knew some content of it: 1: after the game, return to china immediately. 2: in China, sign( must) the new contract : 50% salary back to CBA, obey any order from them. 3, If not agree with 1, never play chinese team. 4, if not agree with 2, never back to USA, maybe never feel the freedom. Wang refused this nice offer. He is wise and brave! Yao Ming already signed the same nice contract for he was in China(1 was satisfied instantaneously) then.. What will Yao Ming look like? It's up to China. I am guessing Yao Ming is regretful for missing the summer league for doing nothing in China NT. Wang was robbed,vastly. But his days are getting better Yao is going to be robbed, even more , What we can do is to wish him good luck. Yao ,Watch out your wallet when you come back to china. I think this contract is illegal.
redao, i can't read Chinese (and I'm making an assumption that your signature is Chinese, forgive me if its not). Can you also write it in English just so those of us that aren't bilingual can also know what is says?

Though China did insist Wang to play both championship and Asian games. i have to say Wang is being very stupid and selffish on this issue. he will further jeopardise his futher relationship with China. man, this guy is from the army, has no discipline and credit whatsoever. him, Dallas and CBA have an agreement that wang had to go back to China when the NBA season is finished. whatsmore, this time is national duty to play in the worlds. he did not fulfill his promise, deserve to be kicked out of the chinese team. Shame on him to be an armyman !!
It's hypothetical to assume that the CBA and basketball officials have the power to issue any injunction order that prevents Wang to go back and play in USA, if Wang disobeys their request and goes back to China. Although Wang hasn't been smart to stay in USA in the summer. I doubt he's stupid enough to risk not being able to be an NBA player. My impression is that what Wang is risking is never being able to play in China, CBA or NT alike, not his NBA career. The power of the Chinese basketball officials are not as great as some may think, or Wang wouldn't've pulled such a daring act.
I don't believe that the CBA would like this, and we should honor them for giving up Ming. And before you start those responses let me say that they need the money because, Ming, their biggest draw is gone now.
Some of you guys are spreading paranoia about the CBA again. I think that based on everything we actually *know* (instead of your wild guesses), Wang Zhizhi deserves most of the blame for the situation. Yes, the CBA probably does want Wang Zhizhi to agree to the new terms that Yao Ming had to agree to. So what, Yao Ming (and Bateer) agreed to pay back the basketball system that developed him, and I don't see why Wang Zhizhi should get to avoid his responsibilities. Yao Ming is NOT going to have the problems that Wang is having, because he's willing to compromise with the CBA and the basketball center. Wang Zhizhi didn't compromise, he fell off the surface of the planet. Hiding (and that's what he did) for 2 months is NOT THE WAY to build a trust relationship. Compare that to how Yao Ming handled the situation. Wang Zhizhi shot himself in the foot. If he wants back on the Chinese national team, it's his responsibility to sacrifice to get there. If he can make it in the NBA, China isn't going to do anything to interfere. If he can't make it in the NBA, there will be a spot in the CBA just like for Ma Jian. But China doesn't OWE him a spot on the national team after what he's done.
Of course Wang made some mistakes this time, but can CBA be just a little more considerate or supportive? He was drafted by Dallas in 1999, couldn't really play in NBA untill last year because of those political reasons. I think he made some sacrifice already. How much do we want out of a player's career life? He wants to represent his country to play in world championship game, we should let him play.
If that was really true, I wouldn't even have a problem. But I don't believe that's true for a second. Look at the most recent news from Sohu. The only reason he wants to play in the WBC is because he wants American exposure for his NBA career. He realizes that Yao Ming (and everyone else on the team) are getting more attention from playing in the WBC than he got all summer from playing in the summer leagues. Why else doesn't he want to play in the Asian games? I think he's being selfish.
