  We consider gauge/gravity correspondence between maximally supersymmetric
Yang-Mills theory in ($p+1$) dimensions and superstring theory on the
near-horizon limit of the D$p$-brane solution. The string-frame metric is
AdS$_{p+1}\times S^{8-p}$ times a Weyl factor, and there is no conformal
symmetry except for $p=3$. In a previous paper by one of the present authors,
the free-field result of gauge theory has been reproduced from string theory
for a particular operator which has angular momentum along $S^{8-p}$. In this
paper, we extend this result to operators which have angular momenta along
AdS$_{p+2}$. Our approach is based on a Euclidean formulation proposed by
Dobashi, Shimada and Yoneya and on the "string bit" picture. We first show that
the spinning string solution in Lorentzian AdS, found by Gubser, Klebanov and
Polyakov, can be recast in a form which connects two points on the boundary of
Euclidean AdS. Transition amplitudes of such strings can be interpreted as
gauge theory correlators. We study the case of zero gauge coupling by ignoring
interactions among string bits (massless particles in ten-dimensional spacetime
which constitute a string), and show that the free-field results of gauge
theory are reproduced.
