Shane Battier on His Role and Contribution to the Rockets

You know, translators these days make pretty big bucks. Ever thought about a career in direct translation?

On topic: Great read.

 

great stuff pryuen. More here and more on hoopchina please

 

Hunchback of Houston


I see you are not so tall at all


that was my chinese brother 500 years ago


his legs looks really skinny u reckon?

 

dude didn't have a good shooting game again against lituania, but he did get a few boards.

 

I really like this guy.... I think he will have the biggest impact other that Tmac and Yao on the team...

I can see him being the energy guy... our defensive stopper...and our garbage guy who puts in the easy rebound... our gets the open lay up....

 

kingkow..
the monk might be tall y'know..
mcgrady's legs are skinnier. Barkley even said "Tmac has chicken legs"

 

didn't know he's this skinny...

i'm really excited about this new team especially the addition of Shane. He indeed can play effectively with superstars..

 

great work pryuen!

i was curious to read this from battier (below), sounds like he thinks he's going to be manning the 2&3 spots, not pf...

battier: "In defense, I will spend much of my energy shutting down the best shooters from the opposing teams."

 

Bill Walton during the USA Basketball vs. Korea game:

"When they brought Bruce Bowen to the team in March, it was with the idea that he would bring the perimeter defense the USA team had lacked previously...now, it's Shane Battier they turn to. When an opposing player starts getting hot, they just sick Shane on him."

Mad Dog!

 

i think when your on a team full of superstars, someone's bound to be restricted from doing their best. id rather have everyone doing a little bit of something rather than a select few that do everything. wouldn't you agree?
