Translation of article: Yao feeling fatigued
January 29th, 2008by John
Here’s a translation of a Titan Sports (China) article that Raymond translated. I must say there have been credibility issues before in what Titan publishes, so take it with a grain of salt. However, it’s a little concerning that former head coach Jeff Van Gundy had Yao’s minutes down to a science (35 per game), whereas Rick Adelman has a higher limit, or doesn’t have one at all. Remember that one game earlier this season when Yao played all but 1 minute in the first half, all while Yao wasn’t feeling well? Incredible.
I’m just glad Carl Landry is coming on. That should give Adelman another reason to allow Yao to get more rest, along with having Luis Scola and Dikembe Mutombo to sub for him.
