Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian matchup

The much awaited match up between the two towers of China in the NBA.

Yao Ming shows he is still China's King of Basketball. Both Yao and Yi established that their are Asia's best.

Yao described the rising star Yi Jianlian as "Yi's talent is unbelievable" and he added, "You ask me how good he can be? I can't say that. But I think he'll be better than me."

Five time All-star Yao Ming scored 28 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. Yi, the 20-year-old rookie, had 19 points and nine rebounds.

The game was an enormous event in China, where it started early yesterday morning. It was being broadcast on 19 television networks and NBA officials were expecting the largest-ever viewing audience for a game, well over 200 million.
