    You can't just post photos from jpg files from your hard disk. None of them are showing properly.

    You need to upload it somewhere in a host, and then paste the URL link in between the IMG and /IMG delimiters.

    Now your photos are not showing.

    But I suspect I might have posted some of these photos and video of Yao Ming's team practice already.

    ;) It is said that before the game between China and USA, Battier went to say hello to Yao, and yao said something to him like "Hey, save your energy for Rockets!"

    Yao Ming won't say such thing, as he is that type of players that will give his all, play to his best capabilities on every game. He would not say such thing to his new Rockets team mates. He is supposedly the Lao Da of the Rockets now.

    I saw Wang Zhizhi on the bench with Yao and I have to say, he looked like he was in his fifties or something..............Also Keith Jones said that T-mac was 100% ok, so I'm slightly more confident that McGrady would be better next season, I'd take Yao's trainer over T-Mac's word any day.

    Yah, sounds like you are a little too protective of Yao. Sure you are not Yao's uncle or something? :p

    Well I saw the video and now I'm even more anxious to watch Yao this upcoming season. The more I think about it, the more I feel like Yao should be the #1 option on this team with T-Mac and everyone working off of him. Dare I say it....make T-Mac a role-player......dun dun dun...

    Naaaah, I read most of the articles on sina.com, sohu.com and tom.com, and I have not come across this titbit. So I was only asking for a link to prove Yao Ming did said something like that to Battier. Even if he did say something like that, it will be in a jokingly manner, i.e. what I tried to point out.

    Hey.....you just posted the article that I plan to translate to share with you guys here......

    Well.....youngone76 posted about Yao Ming's joke to Battier almost 16 hours ago.....This article just showed up in sina.com this morning right after the USA ~ Brazil game.

    So youngone76 could be a reporter at the games in Guangzhou. :eek:

    Yao denies shark's fin
    ----What will he do when play against Shaque(We Chinese call Shaque "big shark" ) :) I think Yao will kick his ass in matchs.

    HOUSTON Rockets center Yao Ming announced yesterday in Beijing that he will no longer eat shark's fin since he has become the goodwill ambassador, together with some other Chinese celebrities, to protect sharks as well as other wild endangered animals, Sina.com reported today.

    "I won't eat shark's fin in any shape or form to protect the endangered species," Yao read from a statement when he attended a WildAid's promotion activity yesterday afternoon.

    "Firstly, I should rectify my own behavior and then I will try my best to positively affect others. I'm very thankful for this promotion, and I will be a model for the protection of wild animals," Yao said.

    "If one person can affect another by their efforts, and they keep passing the message on to another, it will lead to a greater good," he said.

    The organizer of the conference also screened Yao's latest public welfare advertisement in which he jumped in front of an elephant to block it from being hit by a bullet.

    youngone76, you have to read all of pryuen's posts before posting articles of your own ;) Everybody already knows about the shark fin, it was even in a new board.

    So the national team arrived Nanjing in preparation of the 2nd FIBA Stankovic Continental Champion Cup.

    Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi appeared in the training court together for the first time.....but Wang Zhizhi still could not play but do some light running exercise.

    And on the same training ground, Yao Ming met Vassilis Spanoulis, his new team mate.

    Yao must saying to KillBill. Don't play too hard in this World Championship, save some energy for the Rockets. Yao is definitely doing the job for Rockets. :D
