Yao Ming: I Am Not Ready and Need More Time to Adapt

I love how you make up situations. If you think that's the only option left then there's nothing to talk about.

 

And what's even more sad is this fool keep using 'we' and 'us' in his posts on a Rockets team site when the only purpose he's here is to hate on our player. Of course the fool will say "I only want the team to win" from time to time to gain some sympathy points.

 

Kareem was the same way

 

Yeah, Yao takes such a well thought out and meticulous approach to everything. It's better that he's thinking through and trying to fix all the issues that arise in the new system than just pretending everything's hunky dory and not doing anything. I'm also glad to hear that he's pressing the issue with Adelman that he needs to be in the low post and not be Vlade/Webber Part Deux. He's still the most dominant when he's in the low post.

 

Dude, it's getting tiring because I feel like talking to a wall now.

How often is Yao holding the ball and also closer than 5 feets to the basket?

How often is no one leaning on Yao when he gets the ball?

How often does Yao shoot the ball when there are more than 10 seconds on the shot clock?

And you call that making up situations? Are you just arguing simply for the fun of arguing with someone?

 

Yes, my friend, you are old. Older than I am.
"McGrady" in Chinese: Mai Ge Lei Di. It is kindda long to pronounce. Maizi is similar to calling Edward Eddie. I think Yao used it in the conversation because he has close relationship with both both Tracy and the reporter.

I wasn't surprised Yao called Steve "Laoda" either. Yao is a good young man, even by Chinese standard

 

How often do you make up excuses?

 

People that say that a guy has to ALWAYS dunk to dominate are usually the same guys that need a Porsche to compensate for their "manly" short-comings. Of course Yao should dunk if there is a NEED to i.e. when he's in traffic and there is a possibility he can get blocked. But to dunk for the sake of dunking to just prove your manhood is kinda childish.

 

NOBODY CALL TMAC "MAIZI", ACTUALLY HE HAS NO CHINESE NICKNAME

 

Is that your best reply?

This is my last post:

You are the one who made up excuse by wrongly accusing me of making up situations. And I have debunked your accusation point by point. Now give me a real reply.

 

I've never really understood people getting all upset about "someone shorter blocking his shots"...

Last time I checked, everyone is shooting at a basket that is at a set height, so it really doesn't matter how tall or short you are - if you can jump high enough to get to the basket, you can block anyone. And I've seen plenty of power dunkers rejected at the rim so "why doesn't he just dunk it" doesn't really guarantee anything...

/shrug

 

take it easy Yao. You'll do fine.

 

we are going to struggle to start the season...

 

Yao in the high post is stupid.

He is 7 foot FREAKING SIX!!!!

 

I love the quote below.

 

Our record the first month may not be too good. maybe around .500.

Yao's points will definitely be less than last year. T-Mac's also. It's due to Adelman's system, and also we have a more balanced roster.

I still maintain that Yao ought to be the focus, not for Yao-Fan-ism reasons, but for basketball reasons. Yao along with T-Mac should still be taking the majority of the shots, as 1A and 1B. If Yao and T-Mac score around 25, then the Rockets will win. If they are averaging around 20, then I don't see how it will be effective and lead to more wins.

 

Thanks so much for the translation, Pryuen!
I was just becoming worried about Yao, but now I am fine. I bet you RA will put Yao back to the low post, and utilize his lethal weapons there. He will occasionally go outside (to the high post), and that will be a good thing for a change up, keep the opponents guessing.

So looking forward to the season starting, although I can see us going 5-5 for the first 10 games.

 

That's my favorite quote. Adelman asks "Do you think I'm that foolish?" I hope not. Today, Yao only had 12 shots.....he should be getting more, even if we have more weapons. I still want us to pound the paint and put a lot of pressure on the other team. If they can pound Yao, Bonzi and Scola in there, we could be quite a force.

 

I'm just presenting facts. I think it's funny how someone is considered "dominant", yet he has a dismal playoff series and cant carry a team past the first round. maybe instead of insulting me and my views, you can present your a counter-argument. although good luck trying to rationalize yao's 44% shooting and getting owned by okur.

 

If Adelman continues to use Yao this way, not only will the Rockets lose, but Adelman will be fired. Clearly, according to the article, CD is not happy with Yao's utilization. CD still has big influence with the ownership.
