Speaking of Yao Ming, the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, when many people mention him, they will first think of the titles of the first man in Chinese men’s basketball history, the world-class center, and the greatest player in Asian basketball, but few people actually know When Yao Ming was very young, his inner ideal and goal was never to become a basketball player. He was more interested in history and geography. His inner goal was to become an archaeologist when he grew up. It was not until Yao Ming was 16 years old that he realized the fun of basketball for the first time and eventually grew into a world-class basketball star.
Yao Ming’s parents are both professional basketball players. They are genetically good from their parents. In fact, Yao Ming is still very talented in basketball, but when he was young, he was more obsessed with history and geography, what he desires most in his heart. It was possible to become an archaeologist. Until the day when he was 16 years old, Yao Ming felt the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor very sweet for the first time. At the same time, the feeling of running on the court was also very comfortable. He became interested in basketball
In his own words, hobbies are actually the best teachers. It is precisely because of his interest that he became so serious and fascinated by basketball. In this interview, the most impressive sentence of the author was what Yao Ming said: What is talent? If I don’t do it, it’s not a talent. If I don’t really love it (basketball) at the age of 16, I don’t have this talent. So these words, I think it is worth every parent to think about and hope that their children will have talents in the future, but the most important thing is to help children discover their talents and induce them to love
The reason why Yao Ming wanted to work hard to score into the national team was very simple, that is, he hopes to have better basketball equipment. Because Yao Ming is over 2.26 meters tall, it is difficult for him to buy suitable for himself. Only after entering the national team, can he have the opportunity to obtain specially customized sneakers, so that he has the opportunity to wear shoes that suit him.
In Yao Ming’s life creed,He has always had his own perseverance. When a reporter asked him if he could break into the NBA during the 2000 Olympics, Yao Ming affirmed that he answered "Yes." After the loss of the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, some reporters asked which way to do this. When he was responsible for the failure, Yao Ming said "I" with great certainty! Yao Ming himself also said that it is not to interpret something with words, but just hope that he can work hard to accomplish something.
As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Yao Ming has always advocated the combination of physical education and cultural education, and put forward the concept of "sports people". In his view, sports is not just for exercising. Through physical exercise, it is also possible to cultivate children’s sense of responsibility and honor. During the Wenchuan earthquake, Yao Ming sent a large amount of sports equipment and equipment to the children in Wenchuan disaster area through his Yao Fund. He went to Sichuan to teach in person and became a physical education teacher. He has been using his own way to help Chinese basketball progress. In his words, he hopes that one day the Chinese men’s and women’s basketball teams can become a competitive team in the world.
