The Western Bulldogs return on Saturday to the ground where they announced themselves as a reborn AFL force against Sydney. Mike Bossy Islanders Jersey .The SCG clash is this weekends match-of-the-round by some distance, with the Swans (10-3) bidding to go back on top of the ladder and the Bulldogs (9-4) aiming to bounce back from a heavy defeat to Geelong that preceded their last-round bye.If the Dogs are in need of any motivation, a review of last years round-five victory would do the trick.In one of their first games under then barely-known coach Luke Beveridge, the Bulldogs pulled off a superb four-point win that Bob Murphy called the best of his career.Assistant coach Rohan Smith says it helped mould the side into the fighting force they are today.It gave our players belief they were good enough. It was great for our players, he told AAP.No one thought we could come up and win that game. Our first interstate trip for the year. In the wet. A slog.It really did gel us together and projected our season.Talked about as flag contenders but currently eighth on the ladder, the Bulldogs have used the bye round to heal after a damaging loss to Geelong.Smith said five changes to their side - only one of which was forced - wasnt a reaction to the 57-point loss but reflected the chance to return long-term absentees.Will Minson, who hasnt played a regular-season game since round 15 last year, returns from the wilderness to replace Tom Campbell and share ruck duties with Jordan Roughead.Hes bided his time in the reserves and has been playing some good footy, Smith said.We just felt we needed a bit of a change and Will was ready. We felt Tommy needs to go back to the reserves and find something hes missing.Half-back Jason Johannisen (hamstring) is back after 11 weeks out and acting captain Easton Wood (hamstring) resumes after a month off.I dont think Ive seen (Johannisen) fitter. Hes done the work, Smith said.Hell play the role he did in the start of the year. He gives us great speed, great ball use and defensive one-on-one action.The Bulldogs also celebrate possession-machine Lachie Hunters 50th match, with Smith lauding the 21-year-olds season.Lachies been playing some great footy. He has the work ethic to play in all phases of the game ... were really happy with his game at the moment. Jaroslav Halak Jersey .

Yi Jianlian returned to China in 2012 after a lackluster five-year stint in the NBA, but he has kept in touch with his longtime mentor and veteran NBA coach Del Harris. Yi and Harris first met 12 years ago while Harris was coaching the Chinese national team.On Tuesday, Yi agreed to a one-year deal?with the Los Angeles Lakers. With Yis impending return to the league, Harris, who led the Chinese team to an eighth-place finish at the 2004 Olympics as Chinas first-ever foreign-born head coach, is optimistic of Yis future as a Laker under new head coach Luke Walton.I think that is the right team for him, said Harris, who also coached former Houston Rockets star Yao Ming back in 2004. He should be able to play for them and will really fit the style Luke employed so well last year [with the Warriors].On the 2004 Chinese Olympic team, Yi -- just 17 at the time -- made an immediate impression on Harris, with his raw athleticism, ability to hit jump shots and stretch the floor. Even after Harris left China and returned to coaching in the NBA, he remained close with Yi, who was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2007 draft.Yis 272 NBA games with four teams featured short bursts of high-scoring performances, but were cut short by frequent injuries. His lack of consistency and physicality was part of the reason he averaged just 7.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.A shortage of trust and tailored coaching around him hurt too, according to Harris.I can tell you he plays better when he feels the coach and the team believes in him, Harris said. He has needed that confidence.As evidence, Harris pointed to Yis average of nearly 15 points and seven rebounds per game in January 2010 with the New Jeersey Nets when Harris was the teams assistant coach. Dennis Seidenberg Islanders Jersey. In the two games Yi played in 2012 under Harris at the Texas Legends -- the NBA Development League team of the Dallas Mavericks?-- he averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds a game, earning him a spot with the Mavericks.Harris said Yi wasnt given enough encouragement during the last leg of his NBA career, nor was he used to his best advantage.He cant just sit out on the perimeter and set screens and pop to shoot 3s or long 2s, Harris said. He has to run the court, move into high-low options and mix his pops with rolls as well as some post-ups with his 3s.Harris said Yis ability to play both center and power forward positions could flourish under Walton, who was formerly with the Golden State Warriors, the NBAs poster boys for todays small-ball style.His versatility will serve him well, and Luke will know how to mix with his outside-inside skill combination, Harris said. They need what he is capable of doing -- great runner, excellent mix on offense and the potential to be a defensive factor. And Yi is still young himself for a 7-footer.Harris said the current trend of NBA play is also favorable to Yis future, as foreign-born big men who can pass and attack from the perimeter have become increasingly popular.The talent of these big players actually changed the complexion of the game due to these unique talents, he said. Teams seek this type of player even more than the tall inside players, unless that player can truly dominate inside as a defender or consistent low-post scorer or passer.
