Yao Ming's trash talk made Tim Duncan a bit defenseless and somewhat surprised.
Dwyane Wade was also surprised when he saw a statue that looked nothing like him.
Duncan remembered Yao Ming wasn't the type of player to have much trash talk on the court.
He and Roger were completely different people.
Roger always enjoyed humiliating opponents, and if the NBA mandated players to wear earplugs during games, Roger might retire on the spot.
But Yao Ming was different; he was a good person with a sense of humor and a broad mind.
So why had Yao Ming transformed into Roger's mold?
Why does wherever Roger goes, the environment becomes extremely harsh?
What Duncan didn't know was that Yao Ming's mindset when playing NBA games was entirely different from when playing for the national team.
In the NBA, Yao Ming indeed seemed amiable, but once he donned Team China's jersey, he turned into an enraged Bull, he would be more excited during FIBA games.
