i realize in this game, Yao didn't "wrestle" in the post to ask for ball, like he did in previous games which made him look like a total idiot. By not pushing around with oppenents, he saved a lot stamina, avoid offensive fouls, and avoid some turnovers by forcing the ball to his hand. and still, he got 20 points and pretty effective. I think this is the reason he came up with some big plays in 4th quarter, cuz he saved stamina. This is the right way they play Yao. Anyway Yao looked good in this game, whole team looked good. yay..
hats off to Yao...but he should of punished Miller instead of settling for the fadeaways and he had too many swiped balls
Yao was obviously afraid that any show of force would be an offensive foul. The refs set the tone with that early on. I would complain that Yao should still punish SAR and Miller with physical moves, but sadly, we all know that they would have flopped and gotten the call.
