Yao urges Yi to hold talks with Bucks
(STANDARD) 07月 05日 星期四 05:30AM
Yao Ming has urged his Chinese teammate, Yi Jianlian, to hold talks with the Milwaukee Bucks, amid a stand-off between the star recruit and the NBA club which picked him in last week's draft.
"I think as an international player, at the very beginning he should try to get in touch (with the Bucks)," Yao said, referring to Yi and his management team's refusal to meet with the Bucks.
Yao, who has plenty of experience in the NBA as the Houston Rockets' star center, urged his 19-year-old countryman to ensure he acts in his own best interests.
"Yi must walk his own road," Yao said. "Chinese players are very modest, but this does not mean that he should not make his own feelings known."
Yi was chosen by the Bucks as the sixth pick in the NBA draft but his management team and the China Basketball Association wanted him selected by a city with a bigger ethnic Chinese population.
Yi's first taste of NBA competition did not go smoothly, as he scored 11 points for China in a 105-100 loss to the Dallas Mavericks' summer league team.
