Chinese NBA rookie Yi Jianlian slashed nine points in a
Milwaukee Bucks' 104-78 defeat to Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
The brightest spot of the 7-foot-6 player's achievements in the
game was his 7 rebounds, a record high number in the past four
matches.
The Bucks were vigorous in offensive after the game began, but
the players failed to shoot straight and lagged behind 22-26 by the
end of the first quarter.
To everyone's surprise, the four-point gap was the nearest
distance in the match that Yi and his teammates could never move
within in the following time.
The Nuggets made it 49-43 by half time and hammered the edge
with 82-58 before the final period that ended with performance
between substitute players from the two sides.
