It's not China people's patent to hit people when they're down. Charlie Rosen, the chief columnist of Fox Sports in the United States, concocted the astonishing statement that "Yao Ming is a giant disease" in the new year, which not only angered all China basketball fans, but also angered Yao Ming who was recovering. For such slander, Yao Ming made a powerful counterattack with three rhetorical questions.
"How many times have I heard this since I entered the NBA?"
"In the first year, some people said that I would collapse in spring. What happened? Did I collapse? "
"Can a gigantism patient become the top center in NBA?"
The tone of the three rhetorical questions and the intensity of the counterattack are increasing in turn. Obviously, being given such black humor in the New Year ruined Yao Ming's calm mood. "Whatever they say, hype bai, let them go, each one has his own ideas. I have never seen Rosen, and I can't control them. " In the United States, where speech is too free, Yao Ming knows that as a popular star, some people like it and others hate it, while others flatter it and others plant it.
Yao's team, as Yao Ming's agent team, also refuted Rosen's nonsense at the first time. Zhang Mingji, the person in charge, felt angry and ridiculous. "To tell the truth, there is no need to deal with such people who have no common sense, but it is a great slander and harm to Yao Ming. Anyone who is close to Yao Ming and knows Yao Ming will not come to such a conclusion. "
Zhang Mingji didn't expect to have an impact on Yao Ming. "Yao Ming encountered many questions and denials when he was growing up, and he always countered with his own performance. This Rosen wrote such an article. As a basketball reporter, he has never interviewed anyone around Yao Ming or Yao Ming. "
Li Fangxiang, director of the Department of Sports Trauma Surgery, Sports Hospital of the State General Administration of Sport, has to have a physical examination for Yao Ming every year. Whether Yao Ming has gigantism or not, he naturally has the most say. "Yao Ming absolutely no gigantism. Moreover, I know that Yao Ming had done this inspection before he became famous, and there was no problem at all. Injuries are too normal for athletes. Big players like O 'Neill are often injured. In fact, Yao Ming's injuries are not much at all. Yao Ming's knee ligament has not suffered any major injuries, and the current injuries are not enough to affect his career. "
Four reasons why Yao Ming is not gigantism.
First, although Yao Ming is 2.26 meters tall, his wingspan has always been his weakness, only 2.20 meters. Medical experts say: "People with shorter wingspan are less likely to suffer from gigantism."
Second, Yao Ming is one of the biggest runners in the NBA, and his speed is very flexible. Now he is one of the most dominant centers in the NBA.
Third, Yao Ming's father, Yao Zhiyuan, is 2.08 meters tall, and his mother, Fang Fengdi, is 1.88 meters tall. Yao Ming's height is within the normal range of genes.
Fourth, Yao Ming goes to the NBA for a physical examination every year, and has never found anything unusual.
