Yao said "explosion might be coming in these couple days"

Yao's article again from Yang Yi. I know he does not have a good reputation here, but it could not hurt to read more. I think the last point that Yao said probably isn't pointless.

I tried to do a translation and follow the original words as much as I could. Hope my limited English won't give you too much headache.

1)I can work harder.

“Coach asked me to play harder, to exert myself more. At that time, I thought I was playing hard enough.” Yao said. “But now, I figured out I didn’t really play hard enough, I could play harder. I could be as aggressive as those American players, and when I am playing as aggressive as them, they are scared of me too. I am completely forced to realize these.

Yao treated the game against Wolves as a milestone, although 22 points and 15 boards aren’t really magnificent. After the game, Yao was exited finding the “newly born Yao”, he went to Rockets staff and burn the tape of the game to a DVD for his own collection.

“It’s a pity that China didn’t broadcast the game, I wish I could show you guys my energy, which was totally different than before” Yao said “I went on the court with “murderous look”. But different then the double 20 that I got when playing against Pistons, that was scared by the late. This time, there wasn’t any sign, just like a transformation. I went on the court like I want to kill people, I stared on them. Before, they hit me first, but in that game, I hit them on my own. “

2)feel more dominant
“I feel like opening another door.” Yao has been very excited in the past several days when he mentioned this. “Originally I played this season all along, and up to that moment, I though I could not see any way out. But just in a sudden, I found that door, which has stairs in it, I can walk it up, all the way up to a higher level. When I find out I can play like this, do you know how happy I feel?”

Yao said “I am trying to play in a higher level, maybe one day, after playing in that level for a while, I would find another door which would bring me to another higher level”

Yao do not know the feeling of that higher higher level yet. “I just started to feel my dominance” Yao said “I feel that I can control more, not just the space, but to be scarier. I heard them saying the word “dominant” a lot; doesn’t it mean “Tong Zhi”? (he asked that meaning in Chinese)

3)explosion might be coming in a couple days
Yao said “Look at our coach, he worked so hard. It’s not easy, and he only has basketball in his mind, just an American Version of Fei Wang (previous coach of China National Team)”

The night they lost to Heat, JVG closed lightly his lips, sitting in the rest room silently, and both eyes all red. “Let’s wait” Yao said “explosion might be coming in these couple days”

 

from the context and his tone in Chinese, i felt he was talking about JVG , not himself. I put the , because I wasn't really sure and the article was kind of "tricky" there. Because it ends right there.
