Yi: Yao in training and looking good

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey: China's NBA all-star Yao Ming is back in training after surgery and looking good for the Beijing Olympics, teammate Yi Jianlian said on Wednesday.

"Yao just came back to the team. We are better than ever compared to the last couple of years," Yi told a news conference after being acquired by the New Jersey Nets from the Milwaukee Bucks last month.

"We are just starting to practice together, but now everybody is on the team and we're ready to go."
