Houston's Yao Ming got the better of Yi Jianlian in the first meeting between the two Chinese stars, but the Milwaukee rookie did manage to impress his veteran countryman.
Milwaukee fans will get their first look at Yao and Yi on the court together when the Bucks host the Rockets on Saturday.
Yao had 28 points, 10 rebounds and three assists and Yi had 19 points and nine rebounds in the first meeting between the two players, a 104-88 Rockets win in Houston on Nov. 9. The game was a huge event in China, where it was broadcast on 19 television networks.
