A reporter tracked Ming for three years and used 26 English alphabets to describe Ming. A: Ambition B:Basketball C: CBA Dunk E:Enjoy F:Foul G:Global H:Height I:Internet J:Jordan K:Knee L:Lonely M:Music N:NBA O:OBC PS2 Q:Quit R:Rebounds S:Starbucks T:Trainning U:University V:Victory W:Weight X:X Y:Yaoming Z:Zoo
I don't understand the following: OBC, Quit, X, Zoo Does "Foul" mean he will have foul trouble, or that fouling is the only way to stop him from getting a basket?
OBC = Oceania Basketball Confederation, essentially Australia and New Zealand. I believe they often competed against the Asian national teams. http://www.oceaniabasketball.com/
According to this article: OBC: A TV-commercial of Yao Ming Exit: He is not willing to "exit" from the video games everythime. X: X-factor Zoo: a warm childhood with his parents (visit the zoo) Foul: Ming said the criterion of foul in China is different with the international games. That is one of the reason that Chinese BBall is worse than some other countries. He still remember his experience of foul at Olympic games. this article talked 26 small stories of Ming.
Some of that is a little disturbing: Knee, Quit, and X - well I guess he'll fit right in with the Houston nightlife scene- I figure he's talking about the X-Box possibly?
I will add a few summaries. D: Dunk. He does dunk. But he does not like dunking as much as blocking. Why? Dunking only adds 2 points. Yes, it is sensational. But for the team's benfefit, I'd like to block. Blocking gives my teamates encouragement more. This just shows how he is a teamplayer compared with average NBA players. F: Foul. We know he may get into foul trouble as was he in 2000 Olympics. "I don't think it is bad to foul. It depends on whether it is useful or not. CBA referees do not call foul too much compared with FIBA games. That is why we get more foul troubles during the internaional games." I. Internet. We know he likes internet. According to the reporter, he liked internet chat in particular. He used dream, sabonis names quite a lot in the last two years. It is not revealed which site he visited most. O. OBC. This is a brand name referring to OBA Sharks Bball made by a company in China. Yao made its first commercial promoting the OBC Ball there and it was a big hit. The reporter said if he does not play BBall, he could be a movie star. P. PS2 Playstation 2. By now, you should've known that he is big on computer games and video games. Z. Zoo When he was a child, the whole family went to visit Shanghai Zoo a few times. He really enjoyed it. But you know the whole family is too tall, they were stared at all the time as if they were living in the zoo. So, rockets fans, next time do not stare at him. He does not like being stared at.
wow, thanks for the translations.... but what about "quit"??? Is RocketsForever correct? Please translate "quit"
I think W&S means Quit, He is not willing to "quit" from the video games everythime. he likes to play PS2 very much.
