Yi to Face (Slightly) Tougher Talent This Week in FIBA Asia

get a double double muscle devil

That nickname Iz corney

Your’re right, he competition is only slightly better. Yi must continue to play well to conntiunue to prove he is an NBA starter. To me it is a fact that any other NBA PF starter playing against the guys he’s been playing against woud do at least what he has done – so he has to keep it going, ore else it shows bad IMO. That’s right – he’s under the microscope – big pressure on those more-ripped shoulders. He’s gotta do it now.

That nickname “Iz” very corny. As explained many times by a few people, it is a translation of what they were calling him in China when he showed up all beefy. It’s awkward, borderline nonsensical and hilarious.

I don’t recall his stats off hand from the past when he played for team China, but I don’t ever remember them being this good. So that should at least say something regarding improvement.

No Yao would have something to do with it, but still.

This means nothing! Lets see what happens when he goes against real NBA competition! I hope for Nets fans sake that he improves. Otherwise the trade goes for not.

i want yi to face spain or argentina because these teams sucks. i can average a triple double vs these teams.

But then again, none of this matters anyway. International style is so much different to begin with. If he does good or bad, it doesn’t mean he will have a good NBA season, or a bad one.

Last year, in the NBL All-Star series, again without Yao, Yi played poorly. He played inconsistently in the Olympics, with one great game against Germany and one realllly poor game against the US.

It’s not just the skillset. It’s the confidence and the attitude.

better for yi
