Another NBA season is coming...
I am a fan of the Houston Rockets and I like Yao Ming. He has a lot of potential.
I'm with valgalmypal. I am very much enjoying the development of Yao. I love talent, I love serious endeavor and I love committment - Yao exhibits these traits. I believe Yao is real - as real as Akeem Olajuwon!
Rockets got first win over Kings in preseason action Tuesday in Sacramento.
Steve Francis poured in 29 points to lead the Rockets.
Yao did it well,too.
Next game will be held in their home.
Let's see.
Rockets beat Kings in their new arena.
Yao poured 20 points and got 14 rebounds.Double-doubles again.
I think one of the best matchups in about 2 or 3 years maybe the Rockets bigman against the Spurs new big man (can't remember his name yet). That battle is going to be pure fun
I can tell the Rockets bigman in about 2 or 3 years will be Yao.Be doomed to Big Yao.
Spurs unknown...
I do believe that Yao is ready for this year, he comes with experience. The spurs new big guy, same gut feeling as I had for Yao. Will love a battle at the height of short skyscapers
The new NBA reason is coming.
Waiting for Yao's presence.
The new NBA season is coming.
Waiting for Yao's presence.
Today Yao scored 19 points,grabbed 10 rebounds and rejected 3 shots for Rockets,but they lost the game to Memphis.
71:79
bad luck...
Yao 2.0.
Twenty extra pounds in the upper body, a new coach, a new offensive sytem.
I know he's tired from playing at the competition level for the past 36 months or so, and I know Van Gundy's gonna be pushing him to play all back-to-the-basket and traditional-like, and I know little Stevie'll freeze him out some nights.
I also know there will be many smooth little drop-steps and seeing-eye passes that will bring a smile to this boy's face.
Maybe a sky hook coming soon
Yao now gradually becomes the top leader of the Rockets,but there seems that Steve don't want to lose the No.1 class.
In the long run,no doubt that Yao will replace Steve.
koolness:
Yao had seven blocks in the Van Gundy championship game night before last:
Hey,I have long time not to see my post.
Yao now is in Beijing,continuous attendence of various exhibition and sponsor meeting kept him busy.
With the exciting course of the NBA Finals,Yao predicted that Lakers would hold the champion.
But now Pistons leads 3:1.
So it is hard to play the miracle again.
I believe Pistons,as an eastern team,will get the finals again since the Chicago left.
See, now, you're going to have to post more often than just once or twice an NBA season. :wink:
Everyone thought the Lakers would win.
Everyone but the Lakers is happy they won't.
Tomorrow is the fifth final game in Detroit.
Maybe it will be the last game of this NBA season.
Go Pistons.
Go Larry Brown.
Go all the Pistons' players.
We pray...
Defense is on top again - I believe that Yao is a great defensive player, but it is also the thing that tires him out the most. He has got to become more selective, he defends anything within 25 foot of him. This not only wears him out, but if you notice is sometimes futile (he can't get there) plus gets him out of position on his own player who usually can't be defended by anyone else. Late in the last season, I believe that Ewing had shown great skill in coaching this out of Yao. Yao is also a major scoring threat, only when he isn't tired....
