Donewald Jr sees boss Yao in his China team

Houston All-Star likely to be out of reckoning until next year

BEIJING - Yao Ming's relationship with Bob Donewald Jr became a little complicated when the players' list for the national basketball squad was released on Tuesday.

As the newly-appointed national head coach, Donewald will instruct the Houston Rockets' center, who was included in the 29-man national squad but the American, who remains the head coach of the Shanghai Sharks, is also an employee of Yao, who owns the Shanghai club.
