link Don't miss the game between Rockets and Bucks... 2007-11-08 16:41:07 I know that the entire country of China is buzzing with anticipation of the upcoming game between the Houston Rockets and the Milwaukee Bucks. There is already a lot of hype surrounding the match-up between Yao and Yi Jianlan. I know firsthand how much China loves Yao and how much his countrymen support him, but I know there are a lot of Yi fans as well. Yi has played well so far in his first couple of NBA games. When I asked Yao about Yi, Yao said that he has never seen such an athletic player from China. Ever. Yao said that Yi is able to do things athletically that is unmatched in Chinese basketball. Yi runs and jumps like a small forward, yet can block shots like a 7 foot player. While I don't anticipate that they will guard each other during the game, it will be fun to see both Yao and Yi on the court at the same time. I hear that this will be the most watched game in NBA history because of all the Chinese fans tuning in to see Yao and Yi. That is awesome! It is always cool to be a part of history. I know that both Yao and Yi will play extra hard because they know many of their countrymen have tuned in to see the action. If you weren't planning on watching the game, please do! This will be a historic game and you will not want to miss it. I have a feeling that this is only the beginning of many Chinese born players squaring off against each other on the court. Chinese basketball is definitely improving and it is a testament to both Yao and Yi. As for the rest of the Rockets, we are just going to try to win some more games. We are currently 4-1. The best news about our team is that I don't feel we have played a great, consistent game yet. We have much room to improve. That is really exciting! Well tune in to our game against the Bucks (although I know you will ALL be cheering for the Rockets!!!!!!!!!!!) and I will talk to you soon. Your friend, Shane
Shane needs to either take David Stern's job when he is done playing basketball or run for some sort of political office. He could be the glue that holds the country together.
Shane would do much better than Obama. Even when he was at Duke, "Battier for President!" sign is everywhere. We should put up signs like that here at Toyota Center too, especially when he is game winning hitting cold-blood 3 pointers.
So who is going to guard Yi? Scola,Battier,Hayes? It'll be interesting game,I like Yi,he's very athletic player.
You could have messed up his endorser, China Peak with Chuck Hayes', which is Li Ning. Li Ning is much bigger than China Peak.
man after the nba i swear battier gonna do all the things that Bill Bradley wished he could have done as a politician
what's the fuss about? yao will dominate yi. rockets will dominate the bucks. all the hype will be over 5 minutes into the game.
