i don't care if he's playing against great players - he is looking horrible and playing like the worst player on the floor. he can't dribble, is not aggressively going for rebounds, committing dumb fouls, and settling for fadeaways - the easiest shot in the game. i haven't been impressed by any of his recent games but he's really showing a knack for sucking now. p.s. so many chinese players are getting posterized. hah.
he looks like crap out there missing shots cant post up playing horrible d we traded jefferson for him? wtf i know people gonna bring up he it was salary cap move or summer of '10 but it looks like we staying in nj an i doubt anyone coming here anyway horrible
his teammates aren't really looking for him. It's been the Yao and Sun Yue show along with the Chinese "AI". Yi's shot isn't falling, he took about two bad shots but the rest of his shots were not bad ones and he's not trying to do too much. My one critique would be that he should try to get closer to the basket, basically just play more aggressively. He's defferring to his teammates too much.
As I say he needs to be more agressive he puts a putback right over melo and yells right after it. I hope we see more of that
He just had a monster put back, he's more athletic then i thought he was but he needs to bring it every play, he looks lazy at times.
not really a putback, more like misdirecting carmelo's arm to have carmelo accidentally tip it in. even when yi rarely posts up, he's been turning those into fadeaways. looks like yi definitely needs to get stronger - he's getting bullied down there and that's maybe why he's settling for fadeaways. from what i'm seeing now though, i'm not sure i'll feel at ease with him starting for us.
this dude is playing like a clown. they sat him just now for wang zhizhi! nets did this just to sell tickets they just wont admit it. you can kind of tell yao even wants to tell him he blows.
from watching this game so far, Sun Yue looks like a steal, 6' 9'' guard is handling the USA pressure well and not giving up his dribble, also has hit a few threes and blocked Dwight at the rim. Also Chen jianghua has potential to get into the NBA. He has nba quickness but needs to be more disciplined, he's got the skills though.
on another note, the US looks beatable, They're up by almost 20, but they've shot horribly from downtown and its not like the chinese guards are playing great defense either. i can't wait for the spain game. I can see outside shooting be a problem when they play against more mobile guards.
carter its just one game, there's a lot of pressure on him and he's not playing within himself. I expect him to play better as the in the coming games.
