Shaq Not Impressed By Yao's Dominance
Globe And Mail - 11/14 - 5:16 AM EST
Shaquille O'Neal was dominated, but he wasn't impressed.
Yao Ming won his matchup with O'Neal, finishing with 34 points and 14 rebounds Sunday night to lead the Houston Rockets to their fourth straight victory, 94-72 over the Miami Heat.
"He's pretty much the same, just big, 7-6," O'Neal said. "He's just doing what he's supposed to do."
"My only chance against Shaq is to keep him on the run," Yao said. "Shaq is much stronger and bigger than me. My only chance on beating him is to keep running and running against him.
"Every time I score on him I was happy like a kid, like a kid getting candy on Halloween because it's really too hard to score on him, too hard. He's just great."
