Marc Berman of the New York Post is reporting that Yao Ming, the 7 foot 6 inch center from China, played a ?perfect game? Wednesday night in the first round of the Chinese Basketball Association?s championship round.

Ming finished the game 21 of 21 from the field, scoring 49 points to go with 17 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals.  His team lost 127-125.

?Next month, Chinese officials reportedly will allow Ming to visit the U.S. for 10 days and work out for about half-dozen teams. The Knicks are expected to be on his agenda, as Chinese officials are hoping he is drafted by a big-market team with a big Asian population.?
