2004 Olympic game, they gave the opposite score for Women's Volleyball championship game. I think it was 15 10 for China, but they had 10:15 for about 1 hr. They had numerous interviews that never exists according to the Chinese soccer team. Just ask ppl who visits Sina regularly, especially Chinese. I think the rumor was that they were bought by a Japanese Company years ago, and all of the sudden nobody visits the website. Even after it was bought back by Chinese, they have to make up "breaking" news to rise their popularity. Ask ppl around, if sina is really reliable or not
Lol at the tmac only fans. Maybe your boy shouldn't be tbrick and shoot 9-23. The last game against kobe showed how far apart the two really are. Kobe can take over a game in the end, while tmac simply cannot. He's had that one 13 in 35 seconds game, but that's really it.
Rox needed a 3 pointer to force OT with 7 sec to go, and the play was design for T-Mac. But T-mac somehow went up for the 3 then pass it to yao with like 2.5 sec left on the clock. (then yao passed back to T-mac for the 3,which turn into an air ball)
I am Chinese and I browse sina.com a lot. For all I can tell, sina just often give news exaggerated and misleading titles. But that's what all websites do, right? The only problem I have with sina is that they hire scums like "洛阳花开" to post stupid threads to draw attention and hits.
Yao was expecting TMac to shoot it immediately and was angry about TMac being hesitant. It is actually Yao yelling to show he was disappointed at TMac's lack of confidence. That's being a supportive teammate I think and why TMac implicitly agreed by not reacting to being yelled at. In fact, he probably appreciated it.
QFT McGrady blew the game by passing it back to Yao. He made it so the Rockets didn't even have a chance to shoot; his prayer came after the buzzer. At least Rafer got a good look at the basket and GOT HIS SHOT OFF.
Do you mean Yao should want the ball to score another 2 pts to pad his stats whether we lost the game or not? Seriously, why would Yao want the ball? We were down by 3 and that would be the last shot of the game. Even the grandma of my buddy knew we needed a miracle last second 3-pter to tie the game. How could Yao do that with the ball under the basket when the Jazz were not going to foul?
What the hell is your problem? They yell because they care about winning. They just try to lit a fire under each other's belly. I will start freaking when they stop talking!
What the hell are you talking about? Yao blamed T-Mac for making the silly, game-losing decision to pass the ball back to him, and let him know that he made a bad decision. I remember a playoff game where Yao turned the ball over late, and T-Mac came over to him and yelled at him for like 20 seconds. If T-Mac is coasting, he'd better stop it. Otherwise.... he's a shadow of his old self. Again.
tmac blew it. it was a mistake. rafer just sucks. that's who he is. that is why he doesn't feel bad when he goes 0 for 12. He just keeps jacking up shots instead of dumping it in to Yao.
There's nothing wrong with Yao yelling at T-Mac. Yao was the only one other than Chuck who showed up to play today. T-Mac let himself be shut down by Giricek and Fisher? You've got to be kidding me. I hope he really does step it up BIG TIME in the playoffs because the last few games have been embarrassing from T-Mac's point of view. I don't know why he hesitated on that first attempt, maybe he wasn't inside the 3 pt. line? Can someone check it out? It happened too fast I couldn't quite see. Anyways T-Mac doesn't respond as well to criticism as Yao but maybe when it's coming FROM Yao it won't be as bad. Yao had every right to be pissed in my opinion.
Heh -- I was quite surprised to see everybody piling on Rafer after the game, and nobody talking about T-Mac's inexplicable brain fart at the last second. T-Mac went up for the shot, about 2 seconds left on the clock, then changed his mind mid air and passed to Yao. Yao was like "Dude WTF?" I was on my sofa going -- why the heck did he just do that? It looks to me like T-Mac doesn't want to take the big shots. Either he doesn't have the confidence to knock them down, or he's still "coasting". His postgame comments reflect the same thing. He refused to take responsibility for that egregious mistake, and instead blamed his teammates (Yao?) for not setting a good screen. And he pretty much said something to the effect of "they're doubling me too hard, I'm not going to take those shots." T-Mac of two years ago (or even last year) would have never reacted this way. I hope JVG talks some sense into him at practice. This is not right.
I wish Yao hadn't done that. TMac is pretty fragile with his ego. Even JVG knows that and that's why JVG seldom criticizes TMac even when he plays horribly.
I'm not buying that nonsense. If T-Mac can't handle 10 seconds of being yelled at by Yao, then he's not fit to be in the NBA.
"There was miscommunication on a couple of guys' part," McGrady said of the last possession. "They didn't know where to go and they didn't set screens. I couldn't get open and nobody could get open." I watched the replay a few times. When Yao handed it to T-Mac, for some reason Rafer and John Lucas/Snyder were also standing right there, so there were 4 Rockets right next to each other and the Jazz players were there too. That's probably the miscommunication he was talking about. However, he dribbles baseline, and AK/Harpring (dude covering T-Mac) got picked off in the jumble of players, and T-Mac was already in his shooting motion in the corner while his defender was just getting into position, so he had a shot. He should have shot it, it was a 3. Instead he inexplicably passed to Yao, and couldn't get a shot off at the end.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. He had the shot, and then refused to take it with 2 seconds left on the clock. And then instead of taking responsibility for the mistake, he's publicly blaming his teammates for botching the screen. Clearly he's pissed because he was planning to pass it off to someone and it didn't work out that way. T-Mac doesn't want to take the big shot. WHY?
Confidence. He knew his shot wasn't on he didn't want to take. It's good in a way but bad in a way. It's good because he didn't force up some crap and he gave someone who was wide open a look. The bad? That person was Rafer and he was not having a good day shooting. As for the last play, T-Mac's gotta man up and say "I didn't want to shoot that last shot for whatever reason, I messed up. I made a mistake." That's much better than "we didn't set screens" etc. Maybe we didn't set the pick right, but he did mess up a last second shot. It was too late to try and give it back to Yao and take another one. He made a mistake, end of story. He's the one who has to admit it, we can all see it. Oh well. Look forward.
