We’ve got a monster translation from Raymond, our correspondent in China, from a piece on Yao on Sina.com. Listed below are some of the highlights of the article. Thanks for the 3 hours you put into this translation, Raymond!
1. The Toyota Center is forlorn and empty these days during the off season. In the parking lot, only 2 cars are parked there everyday. One is Yao Ming’s BMW, and the other is an SUV that belongs to Rockets assistant coach Tom Thibodeau.
2. Currently, Yao Ming is the only Rockets player that comes to Toyota Center to train. The cast on his left foot was discarded almost 3 weeks ago. He can walk without crutches and drive, but just cannot run quickly. Yao Ming decided to end his own vacation. He had taken rest for over a month since he had broken his foot in Utah on April 10. Every day his life was just confined to his bedroom, dining room, toilet and Warcraft. So a little over a week ago, he decided that this kind of “everyday is Sunday” life should be over.
