His agility for someone so tall was something to behold. He entered the NBA in 2002 as the first overall draft pick by the Houston Rockets, and from that moment on, he became a global ambassador for the sport.What I admire most about Yao is his dedication to the sport and his humble attitude off the court. Despite his fame, he remained grounded and focused on giving back to his community. His philanthropic efforts, especially in the area of education and sports development in China, are truly inspiring.Yaos career was filled with numerous accolades, including eight NBA AllStar selections. He was a force to be reckoned with, both offensively and defensively. His post moves, midrange jumpers, and freethrow accuracywere just a few aspects of his game that set him apart.Unfortunately, Yaos career was cut short due to injuries, which forced him to retire in 2011. But his legacy lives on. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016, a testament to his impact on the game.In conclusion, Yao Ming is more than just a basketball player to me hes an inspiration.

2关于姚明的英语演讲稿Since Yao Ming joined NBA in 2002 , the discussion about if he can be a super star has never been terminated. As we know , Yao is a quite high and strong player in NBA. And depending on his height and weight ,Yao can contorl the restricted area easily just like O'Neil.Besides his body , his skills are more comprehensive than other centers.By this I mean comparing with other same-position players , Yao is very sucessful because he can use more advantages to face different players. In this aspect , Yao has already been a super star. On the other hand , Only playing well is not enough to make a man become a god. Why poeple pay more attention on Kobe , James , Iverson ? those players are not only playing well , but also mark matchs with their own signs. They make their matchs differ from others. Although they may have weaknesses , poeple still like to watch theie performance. So , if Yao can put his feature into matchs , it will be soon to get a great achievement.All in all , in my view point , Yao has a good future considering his ability and faith.3来自姚明的影响英语演讲稿The Influence From Yao MingYao Ming, the name won’t beforgotten by the world, though he is retired.

Nothing can break the bond between us, not even all those elbows you gave me in practice.As you know, I am from China and my journey began there.My parents were basketball players back in the 1970’s. I heard so many great stories about them, about how they played and how good they were. More importantly, so many people know how good they are as people.I am very fortunate to be your son.

This cup is the life goal that every CBA player can dream of.I am not the first Chinese man to play in the NBA. That honorbelongs Wang Zhi Zhi.

Thank you to Steve, Cutino and everyone on my early Rockets teams for making me feel so welcome.Rudy T. is famous for saying “Never underestimatethe heart of a champion.” Rudy has demonstrated this not only onthe court, but off the court too, especially in his battle with cancer.

That team was not only competitive, but a team with a brotherhood.I all ways remember coach Van Gundy said once that the best chance also could be your last. That is true in basketball and in life.5 / 12精品文档My last NBA coach was Rick Adelman. He helped us develop so many talented players like Carl Landry, Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks. We had a great run in008/2009, but unfortunately my injury cut things short and ended my time with the Rockets too soon. I will always remember my time spent with the Houston Rockets as some of the best times in my life.As a basketball player, I was one of the most blessed players on the planet. I played against some of the best athletes in the world. A great athlete not only has great teammates, but great opponents. Great opponents push us forward. Opp onents like Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq every game we played reminded me of the old saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Thank you for thatI consider Houston my second home so I want to say something to the people of Houston. You stood by me in good and bad times. You gave me strength to move forward. I will always consider you my family. I am a Texan and a Houston Rocket for life.All of this would not be possible without the vision of David Stern and the NBA.
