Spanish Fly vs Yi Fly

by Atma Brother ONE on Aug 6, 2006 9:04 PM PDT in News

Check out this clip of Pau Gasol and Yi Jianlian refusing to fake the funk on some nasty dunks. First Pau throws it down on Yi, but then The Movement comes back with his own nasty funk. Thanks to Nuno Cardoso at NBA Fan Blog for digging up this clip. Make sure to turn up your speakers. The commentating is just classic!

"In yooour faaaaaaaaaaace! Oh my goodness!"

EDIT: Even better news. Pau did not throw it down on Yi. Looks like Yi is returning the favor on behalf of his teammate.

Ok...

Maybe I was wrong about Yi. That is the first impressive highlight I've seen of him. A few more clips like that and maybe I'll jump on the bandwagon.

no?

Yi didn't get dunked on did he? It looks like Pau shakes up number 13 and then dunks on number 12 but Yi is number 11. So huh?

It's hilarious hearing the announcers say Oh my goodness and in your face.

Wow! Let the Yi Movement prosper!

he didn't get dunked on

yeah, he didn't get dunked on. 13 got shook, 12 got dunked on. but Pau was guarding Yi, and he blew right past him. Pretty nice.

Yea

Pau dunked on Mo Ke (#12). Yi blew past Pau like a jet. I like his facial expression after that dunk LOL.

jeez

I'm not sure he would be able to blow past people in the NBA but his impressive drives would surely open up his mid/long range shot.

pau gasol

is in the NBA, and he just pasted him just like that. I guess Yi caught him by surprise?

I think

you would agree Paul Gasol won't win any awards for defense that far away from the hoop.

Paul-D

ya know, doesn't PG have to at least need a real head-fake before leaving his feet on D (loosely using that term) 20+ feet from the hoop?! That short clip showed the defensive prowess, the competative edge, the Walton-esque desire!

WOW

That was nice, very nice, looked like me playing around on my 8ft hoop in the driveway. That was very nice speed for a big man, imagine him blowing past foyle andris and troy in practice.

Well theres always next year x12
