[Deseret Morning News] "What can Jazz do about Yao in playoff series?"

hey wozzup Yao?!

 

Babelfish says your name is "Female trillion livelihood"

 

" If You can't stop it,You might aswell sit back and enjoy it"
-coach bobby Knight on Yao ming's Offense-

 

It looks to me like "northern woman sun moon". This is one of the problems with Chinese character text programs that most characters are compounds of more basic characters and if the spacing is off it throws off the meaning.

 

Unless the Rox outside shotting steps up they don't need to do anything about Yao. Yao is great but he can't carry this team himself. T-Mac and everyone else has to step it up bigtime or this will be a short series for the Rox.

 

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

Rockets live and die by the three. However, a poor three-point shooting night can be overcome if tmac finally starts making some shots.

 

I couldn't agree more. Sloan sees our weakness on perimeter shooting with defense pressure and bets Yao will miss some shots and get tired. It is a good strategy for Jazz and they are even thinking now how to defend Yao better. If the latter works as well, Rockets will be in danger. We have to make Yao fresh in the 4th quarter by reducing his minutes and play good small balls when Yao is on bench. Since JVG is not going to play VSpan anyway, I would suggest we try not to play Alston and T-Mac together because we need at least an energized playmaker on the court to keep the offense flow.

 

You know you are quite good when the whole team talks about how to stop you.

 

How did he get special chinese characters in his username like that? Is that really Yao?

 

how to beat the jazz?

If both of our stars show, the game is over. The closest start power Utah has is Boozer, who is a notch below Yao and Tmac. Basketball is a game of superstars.

If one of them disappears and scrubs not stepping up, like the last game, it will be a close fight.

I like our chances in a 7 game series.

 

It's Chinese wirting of "Yao Ming"

 

There's no way that's really yao. You have to be verified by clutch, if you try to pretend to be someone.

 

The rules in the NBA today is to be blamed. The way they call the game now tremendously favors the smaller and quicker players and often put the big men in foul trouble before the 4th qtr even starts. And then the zone defense allows you to double anyone before he touches the ball (just watch again how the Phoenix Suns played us in the last game). A dominant post player can still carry his team and keep it in the games by just being...dominant in the paint...in the first 3 quarters. But someone else has to step up to close the games in the final period when the other teams decide to shut down the paint. Not even Shaq in his prime could do much in the 4th periods other than throwing bricks at the FT line.

 

They don't need to stop yao if no one else steps up. Remember how dallas played us? Let tmac and yao get theirs, and we'll just stop everyone else...I know this can be spun a different way though..cough..mike james...cough.

 

so Yao is a female trillion livelihood?

 

Now you find out even more about how great Yao Ming actually is. He single-handedly support the livelihood of a trillion females. It's not easy. Go Yao.

 

If you watched the NCAA championship game last night, you would of realized how similar our situation was. Conley was not producing, and only Oden was keeping the Buckeyes in the game. Same can be said for Yao and T-mac during the Jazz game.

If I were the jazz, I would make Yao take all the shots, and then just guard T-mac straight up and force him to shoot jumpers - should be relatively easy since he is inclined to do it anyways.
