He scored 22 pts, 20 boards and 4 blocks in that game. Rockets won it 86 to 80. Francis had 11 assits in that game too. That was Ming's only 20/20 game.
Just looked it up. It was 30. http://www.basketballreference.com/teams/boxscore.htm?yr=2002&b=20021121&tm=Dal
Yeah, I have just checked the box score of that game. We outrebounded the Pistons 47 to 32. We grabbed 14 offensive boards from them and only let them have 3 from us. We blocked them 7 times and they could only block us once. We just physically dominated one of the most physical and best defensive team in the league. What a game.
We always had our numbers on Detroit until this year. One team we cannot beat is Dallas, now I will include the Suns. We were beat twice by the Suns last year. We also had trouble matching up with Seattle in the last two years even when they were not that good. Is Yao the one to blame? Well against team with slow big man, killed by smaller and quicker team.
I recalled Yao getting 20/20 against the twin tower back when Duncan and Robinson still playing and we won the game
Yeah, it's sad when you hear TV sports person said, "Lebron has been on fire lately with the mask, in last 2 games, he scored 20 and 23 points, he's just amazing."
Favorite Yao game: The one where he got his career high 41 points. He has to gut it out and play over 48 minutes. The game went to overtime. Yao just keep scrapping along and finding the basket.
I think the 33 point game against Shaq was the best one last year but I was very excited when he scored 30 against the Mavs in his rookie year. That was the first time that he looked like a real star.
just my opinion, not that I'm right...... 1st game vs. Shaq, where he blocked Shaq like three times in the 1st Qtr. Showed he was going to be a force to be reckoned with the 40 pt game against the Hawks....hey man, he got the job done. T-Mac and Yao combine for 70+....showed they can work together lastly, the game where Theo Ratlif dunked on Yao and then said something to him. Yao came back and dunked on Theo (then with ATL) and screamed and got T'd up. Just letting people know he could get pissed off too. Okay, so that's more like a Yao-moment, but you get the idea. anyway, just my perspective, I'll fully prepared to get berated for my opinions.
