has been shattered by Shaq in the last game. Not only his body starts wearing down but also the other teams have found ways to defend him. I think it's going to time for him to heal. And he must find ways to handle the physical plays in the NBA and invent new offensive weapons. I don't think he can overcome his weakness. He is not a quick jumper and comparatively slower movement compared to other shorter centers.
Today would be a good game for Yao to rejuvenate his confidence. And because he is not quick enough to play like normal centers, he needs to adjust. But it doesn't seem like he has been changing to improve his game much lately. That's why we need a coach.
