http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2005-10-26/15231845800.shtml 3 keynotes: 1) First time Yao had paticipated full training camp, practiced new footworks. (in other related reports, Yao SWORE he will show the league a new Yao this season! http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2005-10-27/07461846579.shtml) 2) Yao feels right now he is in the best physical condition among the last 4 preseasons. He does not want to see Rockets having another sloppy season opening like last year (6-10 in the first 16 games?). 3) He likes S. Swift a lot.
Just the fact that Yao now has Swift, Dikembe, and Howard to help him takes a lot of pressure off and lets him play comfortably and get less fouls and more points and defense.
