Quote: Are you a Yi fan? yes i am, and i wanted yi became a hawks before the draft.

truth is hurt: the yoube is money! and so is the chair !!

As to yi's defence ability, according bucks fans, most of them believe he is already the best defender from their team, at least one of the best. just check out ,you will find out i don't overstate at all. http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=21 or http://www2.jsonline.com/idealbb/forum.asp...2C5}&forumID=37

FOX SPORTS: Yi Shows He's the Real Deal Against Yao and the Houston Rockets Yi Jianlian finished the game with 19 points and nine rebounds, including two of two from beyond the arc. Yi also had a blocked shot and two steals in the game. Yi seemed a bit nervous at the start of the game, perhaps the result of knowing the game was being view by over 200 million people in his homeland of China, by settled down eventually with the help of his sure jumpshot. Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets got the better of Yi however, in scoring 28 points to go with ten rebounds. Yao also went perfect from the free throw line in making all 14 attempts from the charity stripe. Yi did however score the same number of baskets as Yao in making seven shots despite taking four less attempts (12) than Yao (16). The unbelievable part to Yi’s game is that he is already getting better in just his fifth game and his ceiling is as high as he wants it wants to be. Yi has perfect technique on his jumpshot where it seems as if the only misses he has had on it are when they are too long but never to the left or the right, and shows the will to hustle hard on every possession. There were multiple times were he was a factor in the transition game, often outrunning the entire team to the basket on a fastbreak and hustling back to defend after a turnover, which is almost unheard of from a seven footer. His only weaknesses are his first step when he drives to the basket that he seems to telegraph before he makes his move and his inability to finish around the basket because of his lack of strength. Both, however, are fixable with good coaching on his drive move and hard work in the weight room to improve his strength that will come with time. As it is right now though, he should have plenty of open shots that he’s capable of knocking down if defenses decided to double Michael Redd. A lot has also been made of a rumor that Yi was promised to average 20 minutes per game on the season, but if the first five games has taught us anything, it’s that Yi should be on the court for as long as possible. http://community.foxsports.com/blogs/koski...Houston_Rockets

Charley Rosen on Yi : "How good could he eventually be? With his size, length, speed, and especially his golden jumper, Yi can be as good as he wants." .... "If Bogut had only half of Yi's potential, the Bucks could easily be playing in May." ... http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/7407128

what a game! yi got 19 pts on 7-11FG, 2-2 from 3pt, 7 rebs, 2 stl, 1 block in 33minutes, against one of the best NBA-houston rockets! very very impressive , isn't it? he will be elite

yea, horford > yi, you can keep speaking it aloud to yourself , i am very satisfied with yi's game performance. no way i will trade yi for horford now.

After a perfect home game openning night performance, Yi once again did a nice job today, 12pts,4rebounds,3 assists,3 blocks in 29 minutes. Yi is my boy! i hope Horford do well ,too !

okokokokokokokokey dokey i am remorseful already, Being a potential buddhist, i should never say any bad words to others, no matter who he is. sorry guys, fogive me for the mess. please, could someone lock this thread , moderator? time to go to bed , bye for now.

en.............oooooooooooooooo i feel i am a bit immature too. i am 34 years old, why waste so many time to do this ? ok, i quit the argument. but still, if Yi proves he is the better player than Horford during this summer, i will post a thread to make a mockery of you and your management.i hope i have the chance.

Quote: Quote: why dose Yi need a longer development time than horford? yes he is less familiar with nba,but he is talent enough to make up that deficiency within a short time span. if Yi have to adjust his game more than others? China's national league team just lost to the Grizzlies summer league team. Does that clear it up for you? That chair he worked out against probably wasn't much slower than the defenses he faced in the CBA. i don't care about chinese national team. i don't care how much they unfamiliar abhout the NBA rules and they have no home advantage. bucause they suck ,this is the truth. but i am glad to see yi is one of the best player among the 2007 draft class ,he proves he is today. Horford is who? who is Horford? haha, that's the answer i'd like to see. haha, hope he is not a joke.

Quote: Why would you take it so personal if Yi turns out to be the better player? A lot of folks feel Yi has a lot of potential and Horford is more a ready now guy. you are right, maybe i overdid it .but how about "see Yi sucks alive"? some fans in this forum would like to see Yi fail in NBA for whatever reasons, so do i feel about Horford, i hope he fails too.

Quote: http://www.nba.com/summerleague2007/scoreboard.jsp enjoy "see yi suck live. "hahaha, some fans are pathetic! let's see how Horford could react, if he could score even close to 23 points, i will take back my mead words toward him.

Quote: I wish we had drafted Yi instead of Horford, but don't judge who will be the better player by summer league play. I think it is clear that Yi will have a longer development time than Horford. But the probability is that Yi will have a much better career. Apparently, the Hawks management was not willing to wait. sorry i have to disgree with you. why dose Yi need a longer development time than horford? yes he is less familiar with nba,but he is talent enough to make up that deficiency within a short time span. if Yi have to adjust his game more than others? how about oden and Duant,they are more familiar with NBA than Yi for sure, but we all know what have happened. so , i think the talent is the most important thing we should consider, then the mentality. let's wait and see what the talent level horford possess.

Quote: Oden fouled out yesterday and Durant went 5-17 with 3 rebounds but I guess if we had #1 we still would have taken Horford right? yes , you can say that. Horford is everything, he is more capability than everybody just because he is your choice. i hope he is the right player you really need, because i don't hate hawks at all. i just don't think he can produce more than anyone whose name is Oden or Duran or yI. and i hope Yi can prove he is the biggest pain for your management' mistake. and i feel i have good reason to feel that way. sry for my awful english.

seriously i believe Hawks is a lottery team in the next five years . how can you become a playoff team even in the eastesn conference? not a chance at all.

if Horford is the better player during the summer leagues, i will say "congratulations " to all hawks fans.and i will admit how much i am wrong about Yi. but if yi prove he is the real one during the summer i will mock your management as a country boy for sure. let's wait and see who is the better player or who is more ready for the NBA?i feel i have a good chance to laugh at how stupid your managemeng is !

Sorry this thread has nothing to do with sports or recreation. I have studied stock analyses theory for more than ten years in China. Now i want to improve my skills by learning some knowledge of american stock market . Could you please recommend some famous stock market sites for me ? Thanks in advance.

Quote: "Yeah, you have to start out somewhere. If a fan starts watching a team because of one player, for me it would be difficult not to become a fan of the whole team..." --------------------------------------- thanks. i had watched almost every rockets game since they picked yao at 2002 .i can't describe properly how disappointment i was when they screwed the playoff again. yes, i was a "yao only fan" at first, but now i believe i'm a lifetime rockets fan.

Quote: Watch him disappear if we don't draft Yi. He's the kind of fan I don't want supporting this team. I bet he's never watched a Hawk game in his life and all he's doing is being a Yi groupie. It's little stuff like this that upsets me. --------------------------- you are right,buddy. i'm a "yi only fan" at this forum at this time. i watch hawks game only when they match with Rockets . so this is the reason you don't want supporting your team? what a pathetic baby you are!to be honest, i'm fine with that .i don't care what's your feeling too much.

another intesting article from New York TIMES The N.B.A. and China Hope They’ve Found the Next Yao http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/25/sports/b...r=1&oref=slogin ...... "The N.B.A. and the Chinese Basketball Association list his birthday as Oct. 27, 1987, making him 19. Basketball federations, though, have been known to change birthdates to keep players eligible for junior tournaments. “I was born that year and that date,” Yi said through his interpreter, Roy Lu, an agent with the William Morris Agency, which is handling Yi’s marketing. “There is nothing else to say.” ....... The N.B.A. estimates 300 million people play organized basketball in China. With 1.3 billion people and a growing middle class, N.B.A. Commissioner David Stern wants to capitalize. He said that the N.B.A. was discussing forming a league with the Chinese Basketball Association after the Beijing Olympics. “It was time for us to be making a greater investment in China,” Stern said last week. “It was time to take advantage of the opportunities — from marketing, to new media, to retail, to merchandise, to television.” ......

nice post. you made pertinent remarks .

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/...ts_N.htm?csp=34 "Ahead of Thursday's NBA draft he has worked out informally for and with a variety of veteran basketball people not affiliated with particular teams, and he has universally wowed them. Respected observers such as Pete Newell, Kiki Vandeweghe and Don MacLean have watched Yi up close, and they think he can be an immediate starter or major contributor." ..... "Yi will end up being the best player in the NBA from China, and I know that's saying a lot," Newell, 91, says. "He has much more body control than Yao, and he's a much better jumper. I'm real high on him, and I think I'm right." ...... ESPN analyst Vandeweghe, the former NBA player and Denver Nuggets general manager, says he was "blown away" by the Yi workouts he saw last month. "What I didn't realize was how athletic he is," Vandeweghe says. "I've worked out big players for more than 20 years, and I compare Yi very favorably to when I first" worked out with Dirk Nowitzki." ...... Broadcaster MacLean, the former UCLA star and NBA forward, worked with Yi for a week recently. "People say, 'Oh, he's good for a Chinese player.' No, he's good for good," MacLean says. Yi likes Yao personally but says he does not like the on-court comparisons to him. "Different positions," he says in English. "He's a center. He's very tall. I am not tall like that. I play the power forward. I can play some center, but it's not my favorite position." ...... Yi has strong, muscular legs, is lean in the belly and thin in the upper body and arms. He has worked off and on for nearly a year with strength and conditioning coach Joe Abunassar, who has trained such NBA players as Garnett, Chauncey Billups and Baron Davis. Abunassar says Yi has less than 4% body fat, a vertical leap of 361/2 inches and can run the floor as fast as a lot of guards. "He's at the top end of every kind of test for speed, strength and agility," Abunassar says. "I've rarely seen a guy with his athleticism and work ethic." ......

Quote: "I think he meant that the news sources would be hard to find for Americans...posts! " -------------------------------------------------- Hi, Bosstweed. Thanks for clearing up my misunderding . Hi, Jerrywest, I think I owe you an aplogy . my english was too awful to fully understood your words ,…sorry ! I will bump your threads 10000 times if Yi could join this team after june 28st. hehe~~~ Back to track, Chinese media is warmming up for the oncoming big NBA Draft day. Even CCTV5, the biggest sports channel in China will televise the entire draft procedure live. Guangdong TV Station has arranged to televise a series brief programa about Yi’s situation since 21/06 to 28/06, which means I could continuous add some video links until 28/06. but, yea ,the language is a problem for you guys. Even myself couldn’t understand a single word if the narrative is Cantonese. Ok, here are two videoes, the first one is made by Guangdong Station. ( Cantonese, 2 minutes long, nothing special). The second is made by CCTV5. (Mandarin, 12 minutes, very good stories about Yi and his teammates.)

Quote: Thanks for giving us obscure sources. We never would have found those without you. ---------------------- The video broadcasted by Guangdong TV Station, which is one of the biggest TV Station in China. To many Chinese fans, this is a legit channel to find some interesting news. i don't ask people to trust me for this. but i do think we could share some informations ,even for fun ? I'm sure most hawk's fans are knowledeable enough to have their own views. some "obscure" news won't survive so long. no need to worry. All the truthes will float within ten days, we'll see. too late, bye for now.
