http://u.youku.com/user_video/id_UMTg4MzA1...e_1_page_1.html Posted by 1 of the Chinese poster on a yaoming fan site, its the game. Yi is wearing number 11, I'm watching it right now, quality is not that crisp but still watchable.
Just finished watching the game. The CNT offensive is ugly, sloppy. Yi was too big athletic for the Aussies, had maybe 4 dunks and shot a 3 pointer. Not sure how much of this will translate to improvement in the NBA game. Yi looked a little stronger, but didn't see him dribble or rebound any better than before. He dunked when received passes in the paint, but his dribble post was weak, yet he was fouled a lot. Overall, his 22/8 performance was not dominant, but enough to be the best and most complete bigman on the court. His teammate Wang ZhiZhi was excellent on shooting, yet his defense and rebounding was terrible.

Now that I've seen the game, it was a joke i wouldn't call it a game. The only thing that i saw was a nice touch on some shots, but way to easy for Yi. Any US player could've averaged those numbers. Those players make the Knicks look good. nuff said.

CNT's offense sucks...yao wasn't play...its just australia nation team B...their real national team A is warming in Europ... Yi got more confidence though...body contact still not enough to fight against ANT B,don even mention nba PFs...need to learn more from dirk or KG...
