Nothing wrong with Yao's play- he's getting double- and triple-teamed every time he touches the ball. I don't care who the player is- Kobe, LeBron, Wade- anyone that gets defensed like Yao is going to struggle. Whenever Yao gets a chance, he's getting the foul or making the shot. I feel bad for the guy- China doesn't seem like they can get anything going with their ball movement, and Lithuania is just demonstrating flawless ball movement, particularly Jasckevisius or however you spell the guy's name that used to play for Indiana. We are gonna have a great season. Wow. Yao is back.
Heh, in one of the those possessions, the entire Lithuanian team collapsed on him. All 5 guys. And the Chinese shooters couldn't convert a open 3. :/ .
No hope watching China play....they need to get rid of everyone including the coaches....and totally have to revamp their roster. They also need to bulk up and learn to play physical and be a man. Yao was like that when he got here. But he's getting tough now.
u pretty much touched up on everything...lithuania is basically having a perfect game today..they're hitting most of their open shots and their defense is ron artest krazy that's all I'm hoping for really...Yao to come back much more focused and hungry (and of course 100% healthy), for this upcoming season..and it looks like Yao is finally going to get that rest he deserves
Did you all notice that Yao's passing is very effective? He's finding the open guys- and when he doesn't pass, he's making the plays to get the foul shots. Anyone who is watching Yao closely in this game- as I am because of my obsession with the Rockets- can see how he's playing great. The only problem I have with him is that he's getting outrebounded by smaller players on Lithuania. Other than that, he's gonna be ready, and he's gonna be MAD!!!
As much as I wanted China in the Final Four, thank God Yao is going to get a little bit of rest. He earned it.
Now Yao gets some much needed rest. A month and a half until training camp. Take a vacation with the wife, Yao. Sincerely, A Yao Ming soulja
Man...I feel so bad for Yao. He wants to win so much..but the national team just got way too MUCH problems.
