Yao Ming took his Houston Rocket's conditioning coach with him to Beijing to train for training for the Chinese national team.

The Chinese team will play in the upcoming Stankovic Continental Champions Cup.

All the training and playing, however, is just warm up for the Beijing 2000 Summer Olympic Games….Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian are expected to be key components…if, China can find a team 'acceptable' for Yi to train with.

In the meantime, China has Yao out front running and leading the charge….
