i saw the game yestrday and i watch the first half on the link provided and all i saw reguarding Yi was they ran the offense he was the second pass at the foul line then he passed to a guard or small forward, who then got the ball to Yao, who took it to the basket. There were no plays for Yi, and i saw him rebound, and contest and block shots. Over and over the same plays. Yi shot 60%, 10 pts and boards a few blocks and a steal, in an offense which doesn't utilize him, yet people here still think he's garbage. Even though he's really only had half a year in the nba.................interesting...
The problem is due to the trade, Yi will forever be linked and compared with Richard Jefferson. Yes, it's unfair. Also, there's something about Yi that makes people either like him or hate him. There are still Yi bashing threads on RGM bucks forum every week. They actually admit, hoping Yi will bust so their trade will look good in future history.

i just caught the fourth... still goin on rite now... Yi is guarding dirk... not bad but dirk makin tough shots... but i swear they act like Yi has no offensive skill at all the way they make him look out there... its disappointin
the CNT team was only up by 1 and with less than a min yi makes a big shot... like steppin on the 3 pt line big shot... it was a guard penetratin and kickin out to him... OMG i see devin and vc gettin him looks like that... it was contested by dirk as well
ok that last possesion by germany they give it to dirk and Yi lost him but dirk missed the 3... in and out wewt
omg up by 4... Yi plays fullcourt press vs dirk and other guard sneaks up behind dirk and steals the ball... OMG... looks like CNT will beat germany
You have no clue how much national pride I have right now. To see my country play in the medal rounds on home turf, watching those players faces light up, and the crowd roar. I teared up, and I only wish I could've been there.

It's kinda Yi's beef towards always being under Yao's spotlight. Like when Yao left, Yi became the next goldenboy and got all the attention, in all those years Yao was gone. Now that Yao is back and its the beijing olympics and whatnot, he lost that light, and is back to being under Yao. I mean it would bug me too haha. It's like if MJ left and your the rookie who now gets to start for Chicago in his wake, and you go out there and get your team into the playoffs (Asia games) year in and year out, but MJ comes back from retirement and you have to play second fiddle or bench, it would suck now that you got your taste of it.
well it still sux that yi is the 4th scoring option... hes so good... ya that shot was solid... and dirk contested it
I think the player you're referring to is Scottie Pippen, with the exception that he was not a rookie
