Following is a post a copied from spurs board on ESPN.com ************ "The reason Yao plays better against the towers than Shaq is because he has more skill and options. Shaq has to get into the paint to score. Yao doesn't. That means more one-on-one jump shots, the same match up that Duncan enjoys. But Yao has the height to shoot over anybody. " __________________________________________________ Exactly. That's why he's for real. And for shaq, you can always double him. It's very hard to back down two people. Yao is too tall and skilled. Doubling him doesn't matter because he can shoot over the top. Unless you can stack one guy on top of another, doubling him will be useless...
Well, what you can achieve from double-teaming is to deny the entry pass to Ming. The other way to play Ming is to push him further from the basket which can lower his shooting percentage.
well what i think is that yao can play good either way but if hes at the 3-point line well i dunno hes not good there even though he can shoot 3's a little bit
