Donnt worry about Yao's free throw

It happens to every player. He will be back to normal, as long as it doesn't get in his head.

 

What happened to your another thread??? They lock you down. Because it is too negative??

 

They don't lock down threads for being negative.

But they do lock down threads that contain one sentence and don't add anything interesting. Be *SMARTER*, guys, about the threads you start.

 

I was at the game last night. My seats were right behind the backboard that the Rockets shot on during the 2nd half (when Ming missed almost all his FT attempts).. The Blazer staff handed out those annoying blow up sticks and the crowd around us was really rowdy and it seemed like the ruckus really bothered Ming.. I guess I might have to take some credit for firing the crowd up because I was being very vocal in my support for the Rockets and was pissing a couple people off around me which is always fun in the hostile environment! Anyway, I think it was a combination of nerves and the frenzied crowd...

 

No big deal. Ming shot almost 80% from the line in China. This happens to even the best of them.

 

Do they have those ruckus stuff in China too?

 

i'm sure they do. I meant to add that there is no excuse that these should get to him.. but thats what it seemed like.. Obviously, every road team deals with that pressure during free throws.. For whatever reason, it seemd to be bothering him last night.

 

I don't think that it was just that. I mean players get in slumps from the line. I am the best free throw shooter on my team, and once in a while I look like Shaq out there.

 

Maybe Moochie cursed him.

He'll be back shooting his usually 100% next game against the Warriors. Nothing to worry about.

 

NO, I think all the iron pumping might have affected his touch just temporarily.

 

I don't remember anybody complaining and saying that Ming needs to change position or that he needs to go and work on his FT shooting for hours. Hmmm, what if Steve had been the one missing those FTs? So this thread is pretty unnecessary. Unlike some people, most of us don't feel like crapping all over a player for making mistakes.

 

that's because ming worked hard, rudy said yao always be the first one got to the gym, and the last one to leave, i didn't saw these kind of effort around NBA players in a long times.

 

Phew, I'm glad that Yao came to the team, because none of our players (Mobley and Francis in particular) have reputations as gym rats, do they?
