Beneath the championship banners he brought and the No. 34 that no Rockets player will ever wear again, Olajuwon demonstrated and lectured, shared and inspired.

For a little more than an hour on Tuesday, the greatest of all Rockets players put the latest in the Rockets' lineage of center stars in his classroom, showing jump hooks and "Jack Sikma" jumpers, spin moves and drop steps, all to make Yao the dominant force of Olajuwon's vision.

"How do you dominate the game?" Olajuwon said as he and Yao moved from the left block to the right. "You're hard-working. You have the conditioning. You have the shot. You have everything. Now, you need to dominate."

Olajuwon spoke of Yao using his jump hook as his basic move.

"To the middle. No. More balance. To here. Balance. Balance. If you can get the jump hook anytime, it's all day. All day."

He showed him his spin toward the baseline.

"No. Don't spin out. Spin in. All right. Nice move."

He showed him a jump shot stepping toward the defender.

"That's (former Sonics star) Jack Sikma. No. No. You're bringing it down to the little guy. Where's your elbow? This should be your move. That's your move. Who's going to stop that? That's a go-to move. You feel comfortable. Balance. Balance. Balance. Balance. All day."

But with everything he demonstrated, fundamentals direct from the lessons he took from Guy Lewis, Moses Malone and Carroll Dawson, the idea was to make Yao "dominate."

"You can dominate," Olajuwon said, nodding toward the banner honoring him for his NBA record 3,830 blocked shots. "You can get all new records. Do you believe that? You should.

"You should be scoring at will. You should be scoring easy. Easy. They are in trouble on defense. They are in trouble on offense. They have no answer. No answer."

After a day on the court with Olajuwon, Yao could not argue.

"For a young player, not many get this chance," Yao said. "I'm the honored one of those. Next time, I would love to have more time to be (taught) by him.

"The mentality is the biggest difference between him and me right now. I hope, not far in the future, I can be the same thing, like him."

Yao's agent, John Huizinga, said he has begun trying to schedule more sessions in which Yao can work with Olajuwon. That might depend on whether Yao has a procedure to remove a toenail. He has several appointments this week to determine whether to undergo minor surgery.

Olajuwon said he enjoyed working with Yao so much that he would be happy to do it again.

"It was so much fun to work with a great player like him," Olajuwon said. "He has so much potential. It's scary to think what he can really do. By just adding little things to his game he can raise his level.

"The important thing for him because he is playing so well already is just how to dominate the game. He has all the advantages and he's so skilled. Little things he can do to make him be a dominant player consistently. It's scary to see what he can do in the future."

There were light moments in the workout. While working on a move that is part of Yao's repertoire and on which he looked much more adept than on some of Olajuwon's spins, Olajuwon pointed to his blocked shots banner and said, "I'm a shot blocker. And I'm discouraged."

On a move toward the middle, when Yao did not raise an elbow high enough to protect the ball, Olajuwon smacked his elbow and said, "Use these."

"I know," Yao said. "On this point, Dikembe (Mutombo) is better than you."

Yao is scheduled to return to China early next month for a vacation and to begin some training with the Chinese national team, and could play in one or two exhibition tournaments where he said he would like to try some of the moves Olajuwon showed him.

"Most of his moves are easy to learn, easy to watch on TV. But when you do that, with contact on your body, that's totally different, so I need to do what he's going to teach me every day, a couple hundred times a day, make myself used to it. After that, I need to play some live games, maybe use it in a national-team game. And then, back to the season. I hope I can get a lot improved.

"The biggest difference between him and me is the mentality. He's got two championship rings in a row. I'm not saying I found out today, but I can hear very strongly from him, 'You are the biggest player on the court. You need to go in and change the game. You need to be dominant.' He repeated that time and time again.

"I feel a little bit different. I feel his heart."

For all that they share and shared on Tuesday, that was perhaps the most valuable thing Olajuwon could give him.
