Yao Ming's assist number is pretty high for a center. His FG% is also very high (even big Cato cannot match it ). It means he'd rather pass than take low percentage shots. It can mean he is smart, or it can mean he is not agressive enough.
Because it looks like China will not get into the second round, so our boy Ming can have more time to rest. Yahoooooo!
man, China really need a good point guard..maybe the lack of the point guard force Yao became a good passer..hehehe just let Yao play at 1 might not be a bad idea..
China will still have to play a total of 5 games regardless of whether they make it to the semifinals or not...
