23rd Asian Basketball Championship

[Chief]

It started today in Qatar.

China 76 - Iran 61

Considering China had their full squad, it's not a bad score. Yao Ming was held to 29 points, half of them in the 4th when Iran's tall guys got into foul trouble. Jaber did a good job, he may get an invite to NBA now.

Second game:

Iran 84 - Uzbekistan 43

Iran has got a mean defense. They were leading China with Yao Ming 35-32 at the end of the first half but got into foul trouble in the 4th.

its the angle

Cheif Jan, Jabbar actually did not do good against Yao at all this time. When they met 2 years ago, Jabbar was able to control Yao and even block one of his shots.

But in this visit, Jabar was not as effective against Yao and Yao kept him down to few defensive rebounds and 4 points .... This shows how much NBA can help u develop your game.

its the angle

I don't think it is the angle. If you watch Yao in NBA, he has massive legs. This is why it is very hard to box him out from under the basket. He is well known for his powerfull legs.
