Read the following article on Titan Sports from Wang Meng. Let's hope his team mates will respond to Yao Ming's war cry and step up to the challenge, give their all and their best and fight like men in this stretch that the Rockets has to fight without Tracy McGrady. ENJOY !!!
Yao should just relax and go out to give his best effort and enjoy the game. Whatever the outcome, it's fine. Dont make yourself feel too heavy and always think u have to carry a lot of pressure.
no, it's waaaar.. waaaaar <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jMZtdLra24E&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jMZtdLra24E&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

He should feel heavy because he knows nothing from nothing leads to nothing. You are not going any where if you don't load some respnsibility as a leader and compete till you can't stand up. They played with fire tonight and they will continue tomorrow and beat both the suns and mavericks.
He played hard, teh pints and stats don't show what kind of desire and determination that he had down the stretch. He knows and they know (opposition) they can't stop him,They fronted him the whole game with 2 seven footers, they had 3 and 4 defenders on him many posessions, they were guarding him like he was wilt chamberlin. Then when he got the ball down the stretch single coverage he went to work. There was nothing tim duncan could do to stop yao. They lucky they don't play the old school illegal defense rules.
If he got to touch the ball, and if they weren't buying Oberto's flops, he might have been good. For some reason we have completely forgotten how to beat the front, and Yao was hacked repeatedly with no calls.
Yao played hard, Thow the stats out the freakin window,He played hard and when the team needed big buckets he made them we just needed mcgrady to help him finish the game.
two words, fronting defense = end of Yao's dominance. 6 points in 3 quarters = Yao either not playing or he can't get the ball. Either way, he's not as good as last year.
JVG figured out a way to deal with this crap. It helps if McGrady is in the lineup obviously but teams stopped fronting Yao because the team was well equipped to deal with it. I blame RA for not adequately preparing his players especially against this obvious tactic that most certainly will be applied tomorrow as well. Yeah, Yao is not as good as last year... physically he seems fine but I think Adelman has taken him out of his comfort zone.
