According to what I read in chinese media, Yao was once bumped by Cato from behind and lost balance while trying to get the rebound. The rebound ended in Cato's hand. Yao feels very angry at the time.
Let's not blow things out of proportion, I would be very surprised if Yao said something like that, since what matters is that the rebound ends up in a Rocket's hands.
Thank god we have the Chinese tabloid media to overreact too around here; we were almost running out of material....
Sorry, I cannot read Chinese, also, I did not mean to accuse you of making something up, but often enough the media takes quotes out of context or changes them slightly, so I was just stating that I think it is improbable and would be a bit out of character for Yao to say something like that.
One more: http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2003-11-03/1005642704.shtml A few interesting points: 1.Yao thinks the reason he doesn't get more rebounds is becauseof his jumping ability. 2. Yao thiks the reason he didn't shoot enough is he didn't get goodposition. It's his fault.
OK. Yao basically was saying he feels agitated because we are playing preseason games different than the one played last night. Yao was doing pretty good while playing JVG style game in preseason, but everything changed when season started. Now we could go wild and guess.
as you say that rebound ends up in a Rocket's hand why Cato bumped yao from behind and let him lost balance. if yao get injured, what did you say? don't you feel upset bumped by you own teamplayer behind?
Now we understand why Yao didn't get many rebounds in the first game. Obviously Yao don't fight his teammates and push them aside to get the rebound. Guessed it's the respect thing mentality with Yao who probably let Cato take most of the rebound in the first game but look what happen in teh second game.
Of course this is a humble way to say thing about yourself. What do you expect Yao to say? Blame it on his teammates which could be true? Well obviously its not a fault thing but it's somehting he need to work on to get better.
Here is what I said in the other thread: On to the topic, in Yao's own words, He's more frustrated than tired (yes, he was a bit tired). He's frustrated about his shooting (FT?), offensive rebound...could there be frastration about passing (which he didn't mention) also? http://sports.sina.com.cn/s/2003-11-03/013388727s.shtml just read the quotes, throw out the other stuff. I don't think the reporter would make up the quotes. I didn't open a seperate thread for this because I fear people like some of you will overreact. What Yao means is simply that He's upset about himself not being strong enough thus can not hold his bebounding position all the time. He uses the Cato example as an illustration. Now, let the STUPIDITY die.
I noticed this long time ago. yao grabs rebounds from the rivals and some Rockets grab rebounds from yao. i think that is part of the reason why yao ends up with few rebounds. yao just does NOT fight with his teammates for stats. however, all blames go to yao. fair?
