Chinese basketball star Yi Jianlian is busy getting accustomed to his new team. Yi intends to be in the lineup as the Washington Wizards try to grab their first win of the NBA season. The Wizards meet top Eastern Conference rival Philadelphia in Washington.

The match against the 76ers will be Washington's third game of the new campaign. Washington's 0-2 after losses to the Orlando Magic and Atlanta Hawks. Forward Yi Jianlian is working hard to make himself a factor in the Wizards' attack. He's concentrating on close-range shots and moves in the paint. Yi plans to gradually bounce back to a starring role on his new team, increasing his playing time game-by-game.
