Oct. 18 - Chinese NBA rookie Yi
Jianlian slashed nine points in a Milwaukee Bucks' 104-78 defeat to Denver
Nuggets on Wednesday.

The brightest spot of the 7-foot-6 player's achievements in the game was
his 7 rebounds, a record high number in the past four matches.

The Bucks were vigorous in offensive after the game began, but the
players failed to shoot straight and lagged behind 22-26 by the end of the first
quarter.

To everyone's surprise, the four-point gap was the nearest distance in
the match that Yi and his teammates could never move within in the following
time.

The Nuggets made it 49-43 by half time and hammered the edge with 82-58
before the final period that ended with performance between substitute players
from the two sides.
