Overall rating
3Since blasting his way into the NBA in October of2002,Houston’s main Rocket-man, Yao Ming,has been the center of attention among basketball fans worldwide.A mixture of athletic ability,raw talent and a whole lot of height has made Yao Ming one of the most talked about players today.
4(1)Before his recruitment to the Houston Rockets during the2002-03NBA season,Yao Ming dazzled
fans overseas as a ruthless shot blocker,rebound machine and leading scorer for the Shanghai Sharks.His dazzling talent displayed on the court during his stint with the Sharks earned him a spot on the Chinese men’s national team.
5During the2000Olympic Summer Games, Yao introduced himself to the world by stepping up to some of today’s top NBA superstars while competing against the U.S.Dream Team in Australia.1在2002年至2003赛季的NBA选秀大会上，休斯敦火箭队选择姚明作为火箭队的一员，但由于NBA与上海鲨鱼队之间的进一步谈判，这位大个子不得不等到2002年10月。这时，火箭队签下了姚明，为期四年，价值1780万美元。
2姚明在NBA的首次登场秀被证明是无与伦比的。在队友史蒂夫·弗朗西斯（Steve Francis）的陪同下，在教练鲁迪·汤姆贾诺维奇（Rudy Tomjanovich）的带领下，姚明帮助休斯顿火箭队变成了由当今顶尖球队（包括圣安东尼奥马刺队和洛杉矶湖人队）主导的联赛中的对立威胁总体评价
爱的海洋
3自2002年10月闯入NBA以来，休斯敦的主要火箭队员，姚明，一直是世界范围内篮球粉丝的关注中心。运动技能，原始才华和很高身高的综合起来使得姚明成为当今最受关注的球员之一。
4在2002-03NBA赛季他被休斯顿火箭队招募之前，姚明作为冷酷的射门，回弹机器和上海鲨鱼队的主要得分手，使得海外的粉丝们眼花缭乱。在鲨鱼队任职期间，他在球场上所展现的耀眼才华为
他赢得了中国男篮国家队的一席之地。
5在2000奥林匹克夏季比赛中，在对阵澳大利亚的美国梦之队时，姚通过加强与当今一些NBA顶级巨星的合作向世界介绍了他自己。
After serving up a couple of blocked shots and proving to the Dream Team,and their fans worldwide,that he’s not just your average7’5”Chinese giant,Yao Ming made a sizable impression.
6This impression was enough to land Yao a four-year,$17.8million contract with the Houston Rockets.During his debut season in the NBA,Yao has already proven his worth in the minds of many fans worldwide.(2)His popularity earned him enough votes to land him the starting center spot on the Western conference team at this year’s NBA All-Star game. He even beat out the almighty Shaquille O’Neal for the coveted position.
Personality&talent
7(3)Since stepping into the NBA as the No.1 pick in last year’s draft,Yao Ming has put to rest much of the speculation concerning his skills as a pro-basketball player.Before the big man joined the Rockets and helped transform them into a team worthy of playoff contention,fans and critics of the y
oung superstar questioned his ability to compete in a league with dominant giants including Shaquille O’Neal and David Robinson.
8After being put to the test,Yao managed to pass with flying colors by averaging13.5points, 8.2rebounds,2.8assists,and1.8blocked shots per game.In addition to his trademark shot-blocking and in-the-key scoring abilities, Yao is equally as impressive as a sharpshooter from behind the three-point line.You won’t see the big guy shy away from dropping three-point bombs from the outside.And his abilities as a dominant defender are equally as impressive.在完成了几次盖帽比赛并向梦之队及其全世界的球迷证明后，姚明不仅是您平均7'5”的中国巨人，还给人留下了深刻的印象。
6.这种印象足以让姚明与休斯敦火箭队签订一份为期四年，价值1,780万美元的合同。在NBA的处子赛季中，姚明已经在全世界众多球迷的心中证明了自己的价值。（2）他的受欢迎程度为他赢得了足够的选票，使他成为了今年NBA全明星赛西部联盟球队的首发中锋。他甚至击败了万能的沙奎尔·奥尼尔（Shaquille O'Neal）担任令人垂涎的职位。
人格和才能
7（3）自从去年选秀大会进入NBA 以来，姚明就进入了NBA的行列，自此以后，关于姚明作为职业篮球运动员的技术的种种猜测就搁置了。在这位大个子加入火箭并帮助他们将球队转变为一支值得季后
赛的球队之前，这位年轻巨星的球迷和评论家质疑他与包括沙奎尔·奥尼尔和大卫·罗宾逊在内的主要巨人竞争的能力。
8经过测试，姚明以平均每场13.5分，8.2个篮板，2.8次助攻和1.8次盖帽的身分成功通过了比赛。除了具有标志性的盖帽能力和关键得分能力外，姚明在三分线外也和神手一样令人印象深刻。您不会看到大家伙回避从外面投下三点。他作为主要后卫的能力也同样令人印象深刻。
9Whether on or off the court,Yao has proven to be a team player in every aspect of his game. While developing his skills as the star center for the Shanghai Sharks,during his earlier years in the Chinese Basketball Association(CBA),Yao learned the true value of teamwork.(4)The Chinese players were trained to focus on playing as a unit,instead of concentrating their efforts on their solo game.As a matter of fact,personal player statistics weren’t even tracked in the CBA during its first few seasons.
10In his debut NBA season with the Houston Rockets,Yao used this mentality to help transform his team into a lethal threat in a league packed with star-studded teams. Although the Rockets fell a few points shy of making it into the2003NBA playoffs,the addition of Yao’s team spirit and skill have helped to rebuild Houston’s roster.They are undoubtedly destined to be a credible threat to the league’s other teams in the2004----2005 season.
Woman magnetism
11It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that many ladies are attracted to professional athletes.That’s just the way the ball bounces. He’s an athlete.And athletes get the women. Especially ones who make as big an impact as Yao Ming has during his rookie NBA season. Throw in his clean-cut athletic look,charm, charisma,and a great sense of humor and you’ve got yourself a7’5”chick magnet.Plus,he wears some pretty big sneakers.Apparently women dig guys who wear big shoes.Or something along 9无论在场上或场下，姚明都可以证明自己在比赛的各个方面都是团队合作者。在发展自己作为上海鲨鱼队明星中心的技能的同时，姚明在中国篮协（CBA）的早年学习了团队合作的真正价值。(4)中国选手进行训练专注于作为一个整体进行比赛，而不是将精力放在个人比赛上。实际上，在CBA的前几个赛季甚至没有追踪个人球员的统计信息。
10在休斯顿火箭队的他的处子秀中，姚明使用这种心态帮助他的团队变成了一个由星光熠熠的球队组成的致命威胁。尽管火箭队在进入2003年NBA季后赛时仍落后了几分，姚明团队精神和技能的加入有助于重建休斯顿的阵容。毫无疑问，他们在2004-2005赛季对联盟的其他球队构成了可信的威胁。
女人磁性
11无需火箭专家就能意识到许多女士被职业运动员吸引。这就是球弹跳的方式。他是一个运动员。运
动员吸引女士。特别是那些在姚明的新秀赛季中具有与姚明一样大的影响力的人。赋予他整洁的运动外观，魅力，魅力和极好的幽默感，您会拥有7'5英寸的小鸡磁铁。另外，他穿着一些非常大的运动鞋。显然，女人会喜欢穿大鞋的男人。类似的规定...

14Upon entering the NBA in2002as the No.1 draft pick,Yao has become only the third Chinese playe
李秋泽 中国好声音r in NBA history to play in the league,following in the footsteps of fellow countrymen Wang Zhizhi and Mengke Bateer. 15His growing popularity has left many companies salivating at the chance to use him for endorsements and advertising.Various businesses ranging from software firms to athletic apparel companies are in competition to snatch up the young basketball star in an effort to gain recognition in markets outside of North America.Looking to capitalize on Yao’s immense popularity in China,American businesses see him as a way to promote their products and services in the growing Chinese market,home to some1.3billion people.成就和名誉
122002年，姚明和休斯顿火箭队签订了一个长达四面价值1.78亿的合同。在2002-2003赛季，他参加了82场比赛，成功投篮命中率达到49.8％，罚球命中率达到81.1％。13他在中国篮球协会早年职业生涯期间，在上海鲨鱼队打球时，姚明在粉丝心中占有中心地位。正是在这一时期，他的支配力得到了认可，姚明被邀请为中国国家队效力。这个邀请让他代表国家在澳大利亚2000年夏季奥林比克比赛中向全球范围内的篮球热爱者们展现他出的天赋。在美国市场的曝光使NBA球迷和球探们感受到了7'5”的中国风。在这时，此时，对姚明的狂热开始出现。
14在2002年作为第一名被选上进入NBA之后，姚明成为了跟随同胞王志之和蒙克·巴特尔的之后的，唯一史上第三位进入联盟的中国球员。
15他的知名度日益提高，使许多公司都为使用他进行代言和广告而垂涎三尺。从软件公司到运动服装公司的各种企业都在竞争以抢夺这位年轻的篮球明星，以期在北美以外的市场获得认可。为了利用姚明在中国的巨大知名度，美国公司把他看作一个在不断增长的拥有13亿人民的中国市场，推进他们产品和服务的一种方式。
16Yao has already been featured in television commercials for companies including Apple and
Visa,and has endorsement deals with the likes of Gatorade,Nike,and U.Sputer game company Sorrent.He has also signed a high-profile endorsement deal in Asia for telecom company China Unicom Ltd.In addition to all this hoopla,Yao has appeared on the covers of major sports magazines including Sports Illustrated,ESPN and Slam.Luckily enough for all of us,however,he didn’t appear in this year’s edition of the Sports Illustrated
梅花三弄主题曲Coolness factor
17If you’ve seen Yao in the latest TV commercials for Apple and/or Visa,you’d notice that he seems just as comfortable on screen as he is on the court.(5)Although Yao’s lines in these ads are very minimal,due to the fact that he’s still trying to get a tight grasp of the English language;his onscreen charm is enough to make these commercials memorable.His potential as a product endorser and co
mmercial phenomenon has led many marketing experts to believe that a combination of Yao’s charisma and athletic ability could help market him as the next Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods of the advertising world.Of course,much of this speculation hinders on the assumption that Yao continues to evolve as a superstar in the NBA. 18His appeal to the massive audience in China and his growing popularity in the U.S.and Canada have led advertisers to believe that Yao Ming may be the next biggest phenomenon in the sports world.But before we jump to any conclusions,let’s wait and see how Ming fares in his second season in the NBA.In the meantime, it might all be just a load of“big”talk.16姚明已经在包括苹果和Visa在内的公司的电视广告中脱颖而出，并与佳得乐，耐克和美国电脑游戏公司索伦托签署了代言协议。他还与亚洲的一家电信公司中国联通签署了备受瞩目的代言协议。除了这些，姚明出现在主要的运动杂志封面上，包括Sports Illustrated,ESPN and Slam。幸运的是，对于我们所有人来说，他都没有出现在今年的《体育画报》泳装版中..
凉爽系数
17如果你看过最近姚明的苹果和Visa的电视广告，你讲注意到他在屏幕上看起来如他在球场上一样舒服。尽管在这些广告中姚明的台词很少，但由于他努力掌握英语，他在屏幕上的魅力足以使得这些广告令人难忘。他作为产品代言和广告的潜力使许多营销专家认为，姚明的魅力和运动能力的结合可以帮助他成为广告界的下一个迈克乔丹或泰格伍兹。当然，这些推测在很大程度上阻碍了姚明继续发展
为NBA巨星的这一假设。
18他对中国广大观众的号召力以及他在美国和加拿大日益增长的知名度使广告商相信，姚明可能是体育界的下一个最大现象。但是，在得出任何结论之前，让我们拭目以待，看看姚明在他进入NBA第二个赛季的票价。同时，这可能都是“大讨论”的负载。
