As we reported on Sunday, Yao’s Shanghai Sharks team lost their playoff series to the Guangdong Tigers in four games, and he posted a note on his Facebook page about it.

Here’s a translation of an article from the Shanghai Morning Post that reflects on the Sharks’ dramatic improvement this past season, including beating the mighty Guangdong Tigers on their home court in Game 2, a place where the Tigers hadn’t lost a playoff game in at least six years. In the article, Yao said the following about the series and the Sharks’ improvement this season, “They have won a game (and the series), but we have won back a whole city.”

Last Wednesday, Yao and his wife Ye Li attended Shane Battier‘s Clutch City Karaoke Night to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Houston.
