Guards pass to Yao only after JVG roaring-by YangYi

Does YangYi mean National Enquirer?

 

Based on the source, I rather suspect this was said with tongue planted firmly in mouth...

 

aaragh...meant to say cheek, then considered a pun about it being the right side of his mouth ( mr. c0 and ended up with this basterdized version of a lame joke...sigh

 

What have we learned from this post? American people like to generalise?

Nah..... only Hippieloser like to generalise.

 

Give this Yangyi guy some credit. My guess is that a significant portion of his insider stuff comes directly from Yao himself.

The stats don't lie:

When Yao gets at least 10 shots in a game, we are 15-8. On the other hand, we are 7-8.


However, guards and ball movement are not only ones to blame. Yao needs to be more aggressive, and JVG needs to give Yao greenlight shooting from high post. It also helps that JVG designs some new plays to give Yao the ball in both low and high posts.

 

This is better than Beavis and Butthead....

 

Damn straight I do... I'm American! We're lazy!

 

We just have less people to do the same work.....

 

why even bother and posting and the translation when it's not appreciated. save your energy.

That's the spirit, just give up..... Just when we were having fun!

 

I don't know, if Yang Yi were Japanese the answer would clearly be Ninjas, but apparently he is able to get better inside access (as do many Chinese reporters from Sohu and Sina) to the Rockets locker room than any American sportswriter could....puzzling...

On another note, I rather like this name for the Wizards,
"Washington rare talents ", and do hope that they consider changing it.

Edit: I also like the very PC: 76 person, (philly?)
knight (Cavaliers?)
brave warrior's 3rd company (G-State?)

Hey, posters who can read Chinese, please don't post and translate this kind of articles any more. People who can't read Chinese tend not to believe what is said in the article because it is not consistent with their perception (never mind this Yang Yi guy is the best friend of Yao Ming, never mind Yao usually calls Yang after each game just to talk, never mind that Yang Yi's career depends on his relationship with Yao). On the other hand, peole who tend to beleive what Yang Yi said can read Chinese.

So don't waste your time and energy translating such articles. In other words, don't "play the piano to a cow".

Good call Shrimpie, but you got it backwards, we be playin' ya'll

 

Not true, I can't read or understand chinese, so I depend on the translations done by other people. I can't be the only person who find his articles to be great and credible??

 

I just wanted to chime in and say that I appreciate all the info that we can get. I can come to my own conclusions on whether to take it with a grain of salt or not.

Let's not discourage posting of chinese articles and their translations.

 

That's a good one, ricerocket.

Xenogears, it is good to know that someone who can't understand Chinese found some credibility in this report. I believe there is some truth in this report just judging from the relationship between YangYi and Yao, but not sure if YangYi should put this into press. Since we are at it, after the first game against Celtics, Yao Ming said something like, "I don't know if it is my fault (that I played bad and got benched) or it is because I didn't get enough support from my teammates". A very subtle message if you ask me...

Really, who'd you hear this from about the the Yao-Yang friendship? I'm going to venture a guess that you probably read it somewhere....in a column written by Yang Yi.

Please, other chinese posters have denouced Sohu and Sina articles as completely unreliable in the past, so I am going to take what they say with a grain of salt....especially since Sohu and Sina and other Chinese publications don't operate under the same journalistic standards that we operate on (wasn't some Chinese website publishing translated articles from CC. net in the past and passing them off as their own or something like that once?)

Again, I just find it hard to belive that local journalists who have been covering the rockets for years and have (or should have) a network of contacts and relationships inside the organization are getting "scooped" by Chinese journalists who couldn't find Greenway Plaza with a map before 2002.

Now, I know somebody will accuse me of being patronizing/xenophobic/racist/pro-taiwan/anti-taiwan/anti-Yao/pro-steve or whatever after making this post; that's not my intent at all, so if you could please, just save it.

By the way, if JVG was completely happy with Yao's performance and faulted the guards for the Boston loss, how come he benched Yao's ass for nearly the entire 4th Quarter?
