Yao Ming, still the lighthouse of the dream chaser | Comment immediately

Twenty years ago, the Houston Rockets signed the 22 -year -old Chinese center Yao Ming with the champion. Since then, the world has begun to know the "Mobile Great Wall" from the East.

Twenty years later, Chinese players were selected by the NBA team in the first round to become a luxury, but this does not prevent more and more young people chasing dreams like Yao Ming -Zeng Fanbo, 19 -year -old, Yu Jiahao, 22 The old Guo Haowen returned even at this year's draft conference, but the efforts of these teenagers for their dreams, fans looked in their eyes. It is precisely because of the huge achievements of Yao Ming that for a long time, he will be the role model of young domestic players, and the lighthouse -like existence.

Some people say that the Rockets chose Yao Ming 20 years ago. It is a Chinese market with huge potential behind it. In fact, this is not all right-

You know, the year before Yao Ming's election, the Shanghai team's Shanghai team put forward extremely harsh conditions to him: only to help the Shanghai team win the CBA championship can he go to the NBA. But Yao Ming did it: the regular season, he contributed 32 points, 19 rebounds, 4.8 blocks on the spot, and the finals. His average data became 41.2 points, 21 rebounds, 3.2 blocks, and the Shanghai team finally won the championship. The fans asked him to "take the championship and go again".

A young player who is only 22 years old can contribute such terrifying data in the league. Such a dominant performance is a huge loss for Chinese basketball without going to the NBA. At that time, Yao Ming, who was weak in inside, chose Yao Ming with a weak inside force and a champion.

When he first entered the NBA, the scout report pointed out that Yao Ming's rebounding ability and upper limb strength still had room for improvement, which became the direction of his special attack in the following years. He has worked hard to gain weight, and Olajuwang and other famous centers to discuss the internal offense and defense skills of the inside line and frequently receive special training, let alone his tired body in the offseason to participate in various types of events of the national team. Essence Under the leadership of Yao Ming, the national team's achievements have been gratifying, but the work of overload has also laid a huge hidden danger for his career.

He led the Rockets into the semi -finals in the Western Region, but he could not go further. At the age of 31, most players are at the peak age, but Yao Ming has to bid farewell to the field because of injuries. However, even if there is no NBA championship ring, the identity of the members of the famous albus hall, as well as the No. 11 jersey over the rocket's home hall, all prove his greatness.

After him, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Zhou Qi and others successfully left a place in the NBA and became the mainstay of the national team. The next Yao Ming may be difficult to appear, but Yao Ming's self -discipline, hard work, and enthusiasm for dedication to the country are still worth learning from the star of tomorrow's dream NBA.

Compared with two decades ago, there are many opportunities for domestic players to dream of the NBA. I believe that in the near future, the proud Chinese face will continue to shine on the arena on the other side of the ocean.
