Important notes in the interview: 1) Tonite the defence "that guy"(Battie) put on me is like Taliban vs. USA.. 2) "that guy" wears no.4, he is ignorant, he does not even know Wang zhizhi, he came to me saying that I am the first Chinese in NBA. why so few rebounds: Celtics throw way too much 3 ptrs, when missed, the ball was bounced away too far, I could not reach it, not to mention i had been being double teamed. 3) before Memphis game, coach(not necessarily RT) advised me that Wright is not a good shooter, I took it and helped EG to defense, hell, look at him, scored like crazy. today Battie had good shooting too. 4) I bought XO($200) for SF for his birthday, he was really happy about it, and tonite he shot so well .......... Truthfully, Yao and teammates have very good relationships and he does listen to the coaches, regardless.
