Sure, he is just a so-so player. But without the summer camp, Clippers won't even sign Wang for $2mil/year.

How much would he get without the summer camp??? minimum contract for 300k with Mavs.

I am sure he is happy with the result from the summer camp.

Maybe Wang is smarter than some "dumb" people here.

With Amare making the game-tying shot at the end of regulation in game 1 against the Spurs, it is not hard to see how much better Amare might become after summer camp last year, playoff this year and summer camp this year. Just see how much Yao has missed.

Sorry, can't help it.

This season, Cat yelled at Yao: "Dunk the Ball", Yao gradually started to dunk the ball

Summer with NT, coach told Yao gently: "You should not dunk the ball in front of your teammate." Yao gradually started to lay the ball in.

Pre-season 2003, Steve yelled at Yao: "Why are you still laying the ball instead of Dunking it", Yao started to dunk the ball.

Summer 2004 with NT, coach told Yao: "Don't you remember what I taught you? you should not dunk the ball." Yao graduatelly started to lay the ball in.

Season 2004-05, Steve yelled at Yao again: "Do you want to play or not, just dunk it!"

Yao's head is spinning, "is this NBA or CBA?"

do you know why Yao doesn't like dunk the ball? Because he only dunk the ball in the guys who have the size like himself before. He is a very gentle guy. he dosen't feel like to hurt some short guy's self-esteem by dunk the ball in the head. this is his first year in NBA. He dosen't know it is a very cold world. It is normal that he spined his head. If you were Yao, could you do better than him? I don't think so. no one can do better than him.

Oh, Another joke:

Before September 2002, Yao: "rebounding is so easy, the ball would fall into my hand if I just stand there". Yao just stands there without moving for the rebounds

NBA season 2002-03, Yao: "I need to learn some rebounding techniques because I am just a phone-booth rebounder in the NBA". Yao started to learn how to position himself to get a rebound.

Summer 2003 with NT playing Asian teams, Yao: "hmm, rebounding is so easy, the ball would fall into my hand if I just stand there." Yao just stands there without fighting for the rebounds or only fight a little bit and can get the rebound easily.

NBA season 2003-04, Yao: "Should I jump to get the rebounds or wait for it?"

Summer 2004 with NT, Yao: "I do not need to jump to get a rebound"

This thread is confusing because Yao's real meaning was lost in the translation. I read several Chinese articles of the subject, the real meaning of his words really was:

"For this season, I did not improve in (fundamental) skills but I did learn a lot in feeling NBA plays. During game time, I really learnt how to executive what I knew (in fundamental.) The real opportunity to improve my (fundamental) skills is in the summer training. The key of success was really to get the feel of the game because it raised my confidence. At the beginning of the season, the only feeling was "very difficult". After I was fully indulged in the game, at least I know now how to fight this NBA war."

This translation is exactaly what dose Yao's real meaning. thank you.
