Yeah, it's pretty hectic, but the bikes and the cars are in seperate lanes. I think htere are more bikes than cars in China. Lol, just imagine if a car hit Yao ming when he's on his bike, the car would be smashed into pieces, and Yao would walk away unhurt.

Hopefully Yao won't get hit by a drunk bicyclist!

Actually he is trying to tone down the extremely high anticipation of the Yao-Wang duo within China. Head coaches of Australia and Italy had high praises of Wang Zhizhi's performance in previous tournaments, and said that Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi can be one of the best and lethal duo in offense in the world.

So when Yao Ming was asked of his opinion, he said: "Who said so ?? We came in only 8-placed in last Olympic. And the teams in the Olympic are not as strong as the teams in the World Championship. And we were only 12 in last World Championship. So how can we be the best and most lethal duo on offense ? I'd rather we prove that through winning games and getting results."

If Wang is doing well at World cup with Yao, Rockets may be interested in him,

So today, July 19, after sending off his national team mates for Europe (7 games in 6 cities of France and Spain in 12 days) in the morning around 09:30am, Yao Ming stayed behind and started his running and gym exercise in his continuous quest to be able to return to his top competitive shape and form for the World Championship.

Just notice from all the photos of Yao here, he seldom wear National Team jersey in those photos. Wonder if it was due to Nike's sponsorship.

You mean this guy?? He is Mo Ke, the fiery 24-year-old 6ft 10 power forward of the national team.

Damn. Yao looks freaking pumped in this picture.

I know I'm a broken record on this subject, but I just love Yao's work ethic. If Yao doesn't carry us to the promised land and bring home multiple titles, it won't be due to lack of trying. Yao is the f***ing s***. Ya heard.

I think that if Yao was rushing back too soon it would have become obvious before now.

He looks like he is doing great. And he looks like he's in the best shape ever.

I can't wait to see what he does this year. All of the Rockets should be working this hard and be this dedicated. An underachieving team like the one we had last seaon has alot to prove.

Yao is a great example of the kind of work ethic that is needed in order to improve.

I highly doubt it considering his consistent failure in the NBA

Doorman: Well, at least, I'm not carrying a purse.

Wang: It's not a purse. It's European!

In his capacity as the Global Ambassador for Special Olympics, Yao Ming took a short break from his rehabilitation training in Beijing today (July 21), and attended the inaugurial launch of a series of commercials promoting the 2007 Special Olympics (to be held in the summer of 2007 in Shanghai). He presented 3 Special Olympics Chinese athletes the following presents: a pair of running shoes, a basketball autographed by Yao Ming himself with the Houston Rockets #11 logo on it, and a sports shirt with 10 Special Olympics souvenir pins on it.

Yao Ming says not worried about foot injury
Reuters
Friday, July 21, 2006; 8:06 AM

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's towering NBA sensation has declared his foot injury a non-issue ahead of August's World Championship warm-up games against America and Brazil in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.

"As to my injury, I don't have any major concerns. Everything's going really smoothly," Yao told reporters at a news conference on Friday.

The 7ft-5in NBA All Star broke his left foot playing for Houston Rockets on April 11, putting in doubt his participation in basketball's international showpiece starting in Japan on August 19.

Wearing a pair of starched-white basketball sneakers and walking without a trace of discomfort, Yao said there were no worries about his recovery.

"Do I look like a guy with a foot injury?" he asked.

Yao's comments followed his appearance at a press conference launching a series of public service announcements promoting the Special Olympics to be held in his home town, Shanghai, in 2007.

As a Special Olympics ambassador, Yao said he was happy to make a contribution to the Games.

"Society cares for me and I care for society," he said.
