Yao Ming will fly to Houston on Oct 21 with his dad

What a bad article.

What a trash talk, i hope it's not from Ming.

 

What exactly does the article say that's so bad? And didn't Yao's cousin/America agent already say he was gonna get the ball rolling on the visa a few days ago?

 

Yang Yi's article. Not that bad. Many talking about the final game at Busan. Ming said he is beginning to think about his first three NBA games now- he will play J O'neal, Olajuwan and Camby in a row.


He said he will go to USA embassy to apply visa at 9 am of 16th. (so now he maybe has got it), and he is planning to head Houston at 21th.

 

no one told him Camby is (always) hurt and Dream is retired?

I thought he was a net junkie...

 

He leaves Chine Oct 21st so that means he arrives in Houston Oct 20th ???



os

 

Yeah no kidding. Yao won't be as pumped to play Mark Blount and Jelani McCoy will he?

 

I heard Mark Berman on Channel 26 tonight saying that Yao plan to arrive in Houston this Sunday. He also said that according to NBA sources, everything that need to be done to get Yao to Houston had completed.

 

So does that mean Ming Yao will be able to play in the game against San Antonio on the 23rd? Man I can't wait! The wait is almost over and all those questions will be anwered! I still believe he will be the next great center in the NBA. The guy is huge. 7'6" and 296lbs. When he gains some muscle he can bulk up to about 330lbs and dominate in the paint.

 

That's what happens when you cross the Pacific, going East,
although I've never done it myself

 

I have done a Tokyo-SF flight. Left at 3:OO in the afternoon on a Friday, reaching SF at 7:00 in the morning am the same day.

 

Just for your imformation, I saw Yao Ming at US embassy in Beijing today. He and his agent looked not that certain they can get the visa. US embassy made them wait at least 2 hours while I was waiting to apply my visa. Maybe those visa officers are not NBA fans? . I guess he got his visa eventually.

BTW, Yao Ming is really really tall. He had to lower his head to avoid branches of a tree when he tried to talk to the guard in front of the US embassy.

 

Here's the English version (made by alatavista):


Yao Ming: I think I use not to regret the Xu chapter of merit is not ´óÄÐ the person

Special correspondent poplar resolute Beijing reports from India to Pusan, the Chinese male basket chest again center one arrow. But Yao bright already handled the matter which own should do, much less Houston already nearly in at present. On 15th the afternoon, just flew to Beijing Yao clearly sent in the short news: " I triumphal returned." The conversation starts from here.

I think I use not to regret


Reporter: I originally want to comfort you, you also always not have cross the Asian Games champion, but has a liking for you fortunately.

Yao Ming: The end sentry post sound is somewhat uncomfortable, afterwards was good, you could not always be look distressed, yesterday evening recorded above the marine bench and the central station program, but also hit the game. I are not have cross the Asian Games champion, but my only then 22 years old. In turn said this ball, I think we also hit are not have no merit to speak of.

> > The male basket may take place in where? < < The entire team already very was long not that unites, then spelled hits one ball, I thought finally everybody got angry.

> > Korea and so on China waited more than one year. Since very unites, very diligently, then you think what place loses in? < < Finally relaxed, when you as soon as relaxed, the Korean person suddenly equally threw oneself like the tiger, responded all responds only came. This is oneself the question, some people accuse the judgement, I when Canada match that cap absolutely is the good shot, but if we always suppresses Korean 10 minute, the judgement helps also not to help.

> > You said in the Central Committee Television, Pusan and Indiana's biggest difference lies in the team knows is how loses, is this meaning? < < Is right. We finally lost all the fighting spirit in Indiana do not have, didn't you know should how diligently. But in the now at least heart Óе×, was the duck which this 1 minute relaxed lets arrive the hand flies. I are not explain for the team, but I think the next time will not be able to make this kind of mistake.

> > Asia says regarding you, real too was perhaps relaxed. You think how oneself displays in the Asian Games? < < Is quite normal. Front many competes I has not all hit the long time, but the altogether 7 competitions, I have 4 score points the entire team are highest, hits when the Philippines 7 hats also very satisfy a craving. Plays in the finals my 23 minute 22 Àº°å, all is I at the Asian Games highest. I think I use not to regret.

The Xu chapter of merit is not ´óÄÐ the person

> > Originally in Pusan, you most wants to hit the Li Ming merit, but finally bumps into Xu Zhang Xun. You to his impression how? < < In Asia, his strength »¹Ëã is good, moreover same with us, he also have three minute. But I, after in 1998 which are deepest to his impression the Asian Games big victory Korea, he said, the king governed Û¤ is inferior to I were strong, Buttle was inferior to I were quick, therefore I or Asia was best. I at that time thought this boy too teased.

> > But the Korean inside connection truly displays in the finals very well, the Xu chapter of merit 9 throws 4 center 15 minute 6 Àº°å, the golden week became 13 throws in 10 takes 21 minute. < < We defend in this position truly have the question. Xu Zhang Xun in me at present, strictly says only can play some diversion roles, or in outside ÌøͶ. My first half kills unbearably him, violates a regulation also has 4 times, hates is does not have one fist to kill him, finally the second half he slow came, finally had that several ÌøͶ.

> > The Xu chapter of merit as if always is in speaks with the judgement, you pay attention do not have? < < He said are English, I all hear. He do not stop the complaint in the where, you see Yao clearly to hit me do not have, his arm elbow hit me again one. I think he simply a little talk endlessly. I a little despise him, I think he are not the ´óÄÐ person.

> > Therefore third after you his top of the head ÉÏ¿Û basket, feel very vents spleen? < < To. How do that port side µ×Ïß right face body both hands buckle the basket? I think oneself looked like all of a sudden flies, the minor defect in something otherwise perfect was I as soon as turns around, the Xu chapter of merit ran to behind goes, and I hardly shouldered, otherwise I on really went against in his head pound one. Therefore buckles that ball I flushes him shouts: " Comes, guards against me!"

> > But Xu Zhang Xun is at the Asian Games only truly the center which treats as you the match, other teams are probably all busy photograph with you. < < Also really is. Japanese, the Chinese Taibei, Hong Kong, breathes out the Sachs Tanzania, these teams' team members all illuminate the picture with me. This feeling is good, but compares does not take the champion is happy.

Do not have to say Wang Fei finishes class

> > After such unfavorable situation, is not ought some people undertakes the responsibility? < < I understand your meaning, yesterday participated the competition, some people said. But I want to say, this is not main coach one person's mistake. Yesterday finally 20 seconds, I saw the king must to go all out to shout " violated a regulation ", but the scene sound was too big, has several team members is listens not to see. Today in the airport, I sees the non- elder brother one person's appearance really to be very lonely, therefore I pass comfort him: " Did not think, was not your one person's question." Therefore I want to say with you, do not have to say the king must finishes class.

> > Said to you? Flew to Houston already ¼ýÔÚÏÒÉÏ. < < I should »Î»Î the head, all not happy all throw off August to the now field in. This is the new start, this started too importantly. The first three matches are young O'Neill, aurar Zhu are prosperous and horse storehouse Si - ¿²±È, I want well ponder over.

How > > receives arranges? < < Tomorrow (on 16th) morning 9 o'clock, the land will be vast can meet me goes the American embassy manages the visa. Then I plan on 19th flies Shanghai. If does not have the accident, should be on 21st and the daddy together flies to Houston. Side that already arranged well, mother on October 2nd went, helped me to handle the life question. Oh, they or do not feel relieved my one person, actually I already 22 years old.

 

Altavista = All your base are belong to us.

 

Rockets Truth:- Sorry but its impolite to call him Ming Yao. He should be called Yao Ming unless'he' invites you to call him any other form of his name!

 

I hope we're not making the big fella fly commercial, 7'6 on a commercial flight.... that's gotta suck. I say the players chip in and charter a lear jet for him. Needless to say I'm excited.
