Erick Zhang: China Started Yao Ming Too Early and Too Much

Your thread title is extremely misleading and is also flamebait, especially for this web site. I predict this thread will soon become an anti-China flame-fest, while the title of the original article said "Zhang Mingji: The CBA has been very responsible to Yao", and the article itself doesn't bash the CBA at all. Come on, you should know better than to mislead here where the anti-China trolls will take it and run.

 

Flamebait maybe. But misleading??
Ok Eric Zhand didn't actually say that. But based on the doctor's advice, they did start Yao too early and too much. That's a fact. And in the article Eric did imply that Yao may have taken unnecessary risks by playing against Germany though he kept the general tone positive toward CBA which is consistent with anything he has said about CBA before.

 

Carmello anthony got hurt in the Games

Should Denver sue the Olympics or try to do something about it?

It is not the Rocket's Place to tell the Chinese
Government how to treat its Chinese Citizens

Rocket River

 

Amen to that.

 

If the above is according to what the doctor order, definitely this instruction was not carried out accordingly. Yao played against Germany on the 11th, that was, before 13th. Yao played 21 minutes against Germany which is more than the maximum 16 minutes(under 4 mins per quarter, therefore should be less than 16 mins) he should be allowed to play. This also translated into Yao played more than the limited under 4minutes per quarter.

 

Exactly.

The Rockets played Yao in a meaningless game and got him hurt, and there wasn't anything the CBA could do about it, and rightfully so. This is the same situation here.

Whenever players play, they run the risk of getting injured. The only way they can totally avoid injury is to quit playing altogether. Yao is only playing because he wants to play and feels he is ready. Why don't we trust him to know what's best for himself and stop trying to start flamebaits?

 

They should have an input due to the millions of dollars invested in Yao.

 

Do you know the details of whatever agreement (in writing or in practice) the Rockets have with the CBA? It isn't just a matter of the Rockets telling "the Chinese Government how to treat its Chinese Citizens". Pulleease. Yao is coming off foot surgery and his career could be at risk if he tries to come back too quickly. I think it's clear the Rockets should have some say-so in Yao's status. Didn't they just sign him to a guaranteed maximum contract?

And don't compare Carmelo to Yao. Melo had no injury beforehand. If Yao was uninjured and the Rockets tried to dictate his offseason schedule, then we have a major debate. But let's not be simplistic. Yao had FOOT SURGERY, not a sprained pinkie. If you know anything about the Chinese government, they don't allow anyone to dictate anything to them. Just ask any U.S. President since 1950.

 

pryuen,
correct me if I'm wrong, but compucomp is suggesting you should have posted the thread at yoamingfanclub.com's forums.

and compucomp, correct me if I'm wrong, you are overthinking this 'anti-china troll" thing. if those trolls really exist, they would be posting at the fanclub.com.

the trolls here are more likely going to be pro-china trolls. or maybe you just don't understand what the word "troll" means.

bottomline: pryuen came here to post because he wanted more exposure than he got at the fanclub. that's a fact. and as a result, he'll get objection on posted stupid takes by very bad chinese journalist who are in fact trolls.

get a clue. we are trolls here.

 

Dose ANY government allow anyone to dictate anyting to themself??

 

pryuen, please keep posting. Whatever your motives are, you bring fresh information on Yao (and pictures) most of us would miss. When I visit the forum in the morning and see you are the last poster in the Summer Activity thread, I automatically open it first.

 

Well, I expect people to discredit articles from Chinese meida unselectively, so...

 

Huh?

 

heypartner did u get that apple on the very top branch? u know the bright red shiny one? because you are REACHING! pryuen is one of the few people who take time to translate chinese articles and post them on CF, RGM etc. if you dont like what he's saying/posting then dont read it.

 

I've never been so disapointed in some people as i was in the China V germany thread. the way people were blasting yao was unfair. he was coming off an very serious injury and in his first outing, he put up some descent numbers. what do you people expect from him?.. 40 points coming off a broken leg?. give him time. let him get his match fitness up, then expect some big numbers. look at the bigger picture.

 

It was a broken foot not let and yeah he was supposed to be out 4-6 months more than likely 6 because of his size and the amount of pressure his foot is under carrying his weight. and then again its dirk we're talking about people.
