8、would please the Rockets. Indeed, even Yao Ming admits that he has to become more forceful on the floor. This is where he must abandon his Chinese roots and develop a mean streak. He also has to adjust to the American training table. Raised on low-fat，low- cal cuisine, Yao Ming needs to put weight o

He is unquestionably a team-first guy, and a highly intelligent and likable pe
12、rson. He doesnt point fingers or shoot dirty looks at teammates when the Rockets loses, and he doesnt gripe to the refs when he gets hammered and doesnt get the call. Yao Ming has already made a lot of fans and friends in the NBA, and if he keeps it up hell soon have a whole lot more.就他的队友而言，姚明中规中矩，无疑是个球队第一的棒小伙子。他具有灵敏的头脑，是个令人喜爱的人。在火箭队输球时，他并不指责队友，不给队友脸色看。当受到侵犯却被吹犯规时，他不冒犯裁判。姚明巳在NBA贏得了很多的球迷和朋友。如果他在继续坚持下去，他会越来越好。本文出自cctv9英语新闻 ：http:/
