Photos from the Yao Ming Cup - late May 2004
 Yao holds a 14-inch Tiffany-made trophy named after him for the inaugural "Yao Ming Cup" in Shanghai. |
 A wide shot of the gym where the inaugural Yao Ming Cup was held on May 29-30 in Shanghai. Most high schools in China do NOT have a school team due to lack of funding, facilities, and organization. Currently, Nike and Reebok are both organizing leagues in China, hoping to spark a boom. |
 A fun photo of Beijing's No. 4 High School after they captured the inaugural Yao Ming by edging Guangzhou's Yi Zhong High School, 71-69. The two teams had met in the tournament's opening game and Beijing captured that game 90-88 in overtime. |
 Another photo of Beijing's No. 4 High School after winning the Yao Ming cup. The players were awarded 16 tickets to one of next October's NBA China games between Yao's Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets and Kings will square off on October 14 in Shanghai and on October 17 in Beijing. |
