Read this post-game interview of Yao Ming by Wang Meng of Titan Sports after the incredible win over Boston Celtics. Probably a telephone interview.
In it Yao Ming talked about the win, why he had an eruption, his assessment on the performance of his team mates, and what he thought this victory meant to the team.

Yao Ming also managed to finally come of the haze of the past weeks. He was the man of the match of this game, with 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. After the game, he received the following interview from our reporter.

Yao says the same thing over and over after a win. We all know now, not to be to excited.
They win 1 game, and lose 4 games. Than come back and win another game...
Lets see how well they perform tonight.
