Just last week NBA rookie Yi Jianlian had his career high 22 points against Minnesota Timberwolves. But it is not anymore. Yi just set a new career high for himself with 29 points last night playing against Bobcats. He also had 10 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 assists and 1 block. Milwaukee Bucks won with 103, Charlotte Bobcats had 99 points in total.
Bucks 89 and Kings 102 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Yi Jianlian almost had his first double double with 8 point and 12 rebounds.
During the game, they were time 9 times and lead changed 18 time; so the game was quite competitive. Both the team play near 49% field goal shooting, but it the 3 point shooting that made the difference. Sacramento Kings made about 78%, which was 10% higher than Bucks in 3 point shooting of 68%.

On a side note, Kevin Durant fell down to second ranking. Al Horford ranked top for the week 7 this season.
There was an ESPN report about the rookie Yi Jianlian and the title says Rookie Report: Yi Jianlan adapting to the NBA. That’s a nice word that he would like to hear every week and month. But unfortunately, it is less likely to happen that often.
According to the report, Yi has been shot 41.7 percent from the floor in the month of November. But this month, Yi has not only been able to exceed the 50 percent ball shooting this month, but is averaging 15.8 points on 64 percent shooting in his past four games. During that span, he’s also snatched 6.3 boards per game and knocked down all 12 of his free-throw attempts.
