The final call sparked his rampage and he screamed his disapproval at referee Gary Zielinski, who promptly slapped Yao with a "T". With nothing left to lose, and with a dwarfed assistant coach trying to restrain him, Yao grabbed a towel and threw it to the floor with all the fury he could muster, sealing his fate as he was shown the door.

The fact that Yao got ejected after he had already fouled out didn't hurt his team too much in the end (although you never want to give your opponent a free throw at the end of a close game).

Yao's passionate explosion could be seen as a positive development for a player many have criticized for playing "soft" and emotionally detached. On the other hand, whining when you don't get your way is characteristic of many of the prima donna superstars the NBA is known for. At least it means Yao is acting more like a superstar.
