Houston Rockets to Play Yao Ming’s Shanghai Sharks in preseason

The Rockets are set to face a familiar preseason foe again this year.

Last preseason, the Rockets got the opportunity to play a game against the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association. This year, the same thing will happen!

In the second game of the preseason on October 5, the Sharks, owned by Yao Ming, will make their way over to Houston and play an exhibition match. If it is anything like last season’s match, it will not be anywhere close to a good game. However, it is still fun to see the Rockets compete against teams from other leagues around the world.

Last year in limited minutes, James Harden led the way against the Sharks with 16 points and 10 assists. With Chris Paul in tow this year, look for the Rockets to dominate Shanghai more this time.

Here are the highlights from last year’s exhibition:
