For those that still think Yao is just another Bradley (elgrandequeso) here is a little perspective. Bradley's stats for Germany in international competition. 41.7% FG, 4.6 points, 3.57 rebounds, .6 blocks per game, 14.28 minutes/game. (I borrowed this from RocksMillenium’s sig) Yao's bad game against Germany: 16 pts 5 rebounds 1 block in 17 minutes of play. The NBA better be really scared what will happen if Yao actually has a good game! Germany is currently playing USA and Dirk is on pace to score about 40 on the likes of Ben Wallace and Antonio Davis. Maybe we should hold off worrying about Yaos defense against Dirk yesterday. Here is the link to live game action: http://www.fiba.com/oneplanet/gfx/live.gif Anyone inerested in keeping up with Yao against Algeria in about 20 minutes try out this link: http://www.fiba.com/oneplanet/world/index.asp?CC=WMM&YearBegin=2002
Here's an updated link for that US-Germany name (crash - your link goes to an image): http://www.sportresult.com/basketball/wm2002men/index_00.asp?game=C3
Just checked the link and it worked fine for me, but your link is better since it goes directly to the game.
Glad I can help! What I can't understand is that there are people who are comparing Ming to Bradley. Yet many of these same people claim that Ming isn't that good a shot-blocker. But isn't Bradley's flaw that the only thing he can do is block shots? And I'm glad crash brought up about Dirk and the U.S. The guy is KILLING the United States, and they have more experienced big men then Ming. I think it speaks highly of Ming that he still managed to put up respectable numbers!
