According to the following article: http://sports.tom.com/Archive/1019/1094/2003/7/21-78296.html His eyebrow was hit by someone during blocking shot. He may miss at least 4 National Team warmups scheduled at July 27th. Best wishes to him.
Someone please change the thread title so people don't freak out. He got 8 stitches above his eye. Big deal. Does not affect us one bit. EDIT: Actually, if he misses 4 games, then great. That does affect us. More rest for Yao!
No, but I have a program that translates different languages. The article states that he had 8 stitches.
Was the original title: "Yao Ming injured by his eyebrow" or is that what it was changed to? Because getting injured by one's own eyebrow is pretty weird.
The program I use is probably not even made anymore. I bought it when I was taking a Spanish course about 4 years ago. I think AltaVista has an online translator that you can use for free though. I am sure someone can find a link to it. JuanValdez, The original thread title was "Yao Ming Injured!!"
Wow... If his eyebrow is tough enough to injure him, imagine what the rest of his body is capable of.. and yall were worried about his toughness...
That's just some minor injury. Yao will play through it. I doubt he will miss any games. Missing 4 games is only speculation by that reporter.
I hope he's OK. Now he'll probably have another crazy scar. If he can just develop a convincing leer, he's going to scare the heck out of people. rockHEAD, you should photoshop this one. (happy b-day, btw!)
This is just another reason Yao needs to get in the weight room. If his eyebrows were stronger, this would have NEVER happened. Can't he start doing eyebrow squats or something?
