He was holding his own for a good chunk of the game, but the reigning MVP was getting better as the game went on and started to dominate and play his game. Yao showed no fear, as he surprised everybody on the defensive end, keeping Shaq out of the paint and blocking him numerous times, and going at him on the other end.
The game and matchup would live up to the hype, as both players gave it their all. While on the other side you had the biggest powerhouse in the history of the NBA, who would take every player into the rim. Yao was a huge and lanky center, with an unbelievable skill set for his size, with a nice touch around the rim and great passing ability. That hype was going up, as the matchup between a rookie Yao Ming and 30-year old prime Shaquille O’Neal was set to take the stage for the first time.
